MAY Pop Quiz

All right class.  Put away all your notes and please write in virtual ink only.  Here is the quiz for May.  Some questions have been repeated from last month.  Some have been reworked.  Some are completely new.  In addition to the true/false, over/under, and multiple choice questions, there are now some fill-in-the-blanks.  Sorry, no matching. 

All questions refer strictly to games taking place during the month of May unless otherwise specified.  I will try to get back to the thread periodically during the month and post some mid-term grades as some of the questions are resolved.  Please have your tests completed before the first pitch on Monday, the 2nd.

This month we are playing for an imaginary Klu jersey sleeve.  Definitely NOT game-worn.
