Nationals trivia quiz: Hitting

Last month, we published our first quiz of the lockout, focusing strictly on Nationals pitching trivia. Today we come back for another round, this time focusing only on hitting trivia.

Some of these questions hopefully will be simple enough for semi-serious fans to answer, featuring some of the most recognizable names in club history. Some of them are only for the truly die-hard among us, featuring some names most will have long since forgotten.

There are 20 questions in total, with all answers listed at the end. So be careful not to scroll too far down the screen before you've had a chance to make your guesses.

Good luck!
