How to play the MLB career walks game

You're ranking MLB hitters by career walks drawn. Under each name the card shows his career span, or that he's still active along with his team. One player starts on the line with his walk total showing. Slot each new card into the gap that matches his total. Get it right and the number is revealed; get it wrong and he moves to his true place, costing one of three lives.

Walks come from a sharp eye, but also from pitchers being afraid to throw strikes, so feared sluggers and patient leadoff men share the top of this list. It reaches from the early game to current players. A high batting average doesn't guarantee many walks, which catches people out. Long careers matter, so check the span when two names feel close.
