I thought I would confuse people with Whitey Ashburn and Lou Gehrig/Hack Wilson. I might have to go for some more obscre players: this is an educated group I'm dealing with. Nice job. Made me feel lower than whale dung.

How's this:
Match the Johnson nickname with the first name
Nicknames: Abe, Abbie, Bart, Bull, Cactus, Chesty Chet, Chief, Connie, Footer, Hickory, Home Run, Jing, Lefty, Pep
First names: Abraham, Albert, Arthur, Charles, Chester, Clair, Clifford, Donald, Elmer, Frederick, George, Richard, Russell, William

If you can get all these, you know too much about Johnsons.

I would have to look them up and that's cheating. I am pretty sure that Chest Chet is Chester Johnson. Partial credit?
