OK, here are the answers to the Week 3 questions:

1. Total home runs by all teams - 165

2. Total strikeouts by Mark Reynolds, ARI - 6 (surprisingly low)

3. Total number of bases (i.e. total bases) by Magglio Ornodez, DET - 9

4. Total wins by the Astros - 5 (surprisingly high)

5. Highest number of hits achieved by any one team in any one game - a whopping 25 by the Brewers in this game

Our top 5 finishers for the week are:

1. Mark - 19 (2)
2T. Josh W - 22
2T. Trokenmatt - 22
4T. BSK - 27 (2)
4T. Koma - 27 (2)

What are the (2)'s? these are players who have now appeared in the Top 5 two different times. I will try to keep track of recurring winners, but you guys seem to be doing a good job of that too.

Incidentally, this week's challenge was dominated by question #1 since it was such a large number. Basically, if you did badly on that question, then you did badly overall. If we eliminate question #1 from consideration and redo the rankings, here are the (unofficial) winners:

1. Hysteria1978 - 9
2. Branden - 10
3. Mark - 13
4T. Mstew - 14
4T. Redsauce - 14
4T. Jen - 14

Way to go Mark. You place high on the list either way.
