The Tipping Pitches Personality Quiz

I built this quiz for two reasons:

  1. I always thought it would be funny to translate the New York Times “36 Questions On the Way to Love” quiz into podcast form. In this case, “love” is what you find with the baseball team that this quiz spits out for you.
  2. I needed something Bigger, Better, and Bolder for the Tipping Pitches Power Hour Part 3. In past years, we have fielded 60 questions from our beloved listeners and answered them on air while drinking 60 shots of beer (okay, hearty sips). This year, we wanted to give YOU the questions. So, I built this quiz, replete with 30 questions that run the gamut of our show’s pop cultural influences, all in the service of telling you which MLB team most closely matches YOUR vibe.

I hope you enjoy what is ultimately one of the world’s dumbest magnum opuses: The Tipping Pitches Personality Quiz. If you’d like the listen to the episode, scroll down to hear Part 1 (proctoring the quiz) or head over to Patreon to hear Part 2 (a question-by-question breakdown of the methodology).

    1. Dear Tipping Pitches,

      I have enjoyed your podcast for quite a bit and used to think you guys knew a thing or two about baseball. The key words there being used to. After taking this fraudulent quiz I, a lifelong and unrepentant Chicago White Sox fan, got the Chicago Cubs as my team personality. Clearly either this quiz has flawed methodology or you two beautiful boys maybe don’t understand this sport the way I thought you did. It would be at this point I would say I am refunding my patreon, but I am a free listener so I will just sulk in the misery of being labeled a Cubs fan.

      Sincerely, Lime Sweaty

      1. fly the W, Lime Sweaty!!! (thanks for listening, and thanks for taking the quiz)

  3. shorts is correct answer

  4. I’m very much not pop culture savvy so some of my answers were based on outfits and vibes. (Especially the TV ones as I’ve never seen either shows referenced)

  5. The Braves? As a Mets fan I’m having a sudden identity crisis!!

  6. Genuinely can’t believe I actually got my favorite team (the Rays) at the end of this quiz. Well done.

  7. MAJOR DESIGN FLAW: on the celebrity feelings questions it doesn’t permit you to answer ‘none of the above’ forcing me to profess false love for Ludacris

  8. dodgees fan and got the dodgers lets go haha

  9. This quiz makes no sense what do these things have to do with anything

  10. Maybe I should be the one moving to Chicago!

  11. I don’t understand why Raging Bull wasn’t an option for the Scorsese question.

  12. I love this quiz but the Padres?!? No. 😂

  13. This def had a cultural bias that excludes nonwhite baseball fans in a way I doubt you intended (favorite Girls character?? You could’ve at least used Sex in the City. Favorite Taylor Swift album?? Could’ve had a “don’t like her music” option. Not everyone eats eggs)

      Many of the questions are based on things they’ve talked about on the podcast. Naturally, it’s going to be skewed (it’s not a scientific study claiming total accuracy after all) towards those things (aka things two leftist white boys from NYC talk about). I don’t really listen to Taylor and have never watched girls; I just picked off of vibes and still enjoyed it.

    2. I’m not white and I love Girls

  14. Not including Jamiroquai in a list of Woodstock 99 artists is a Cardinal sin that that I cannot forgive

    1. ooh I think I agree with this take

  15. Oh no I’m the A’s

  16. A silk shirtdress is the real power move.

  17. How do I get a dodgers answer I’m trying to make some people mad

  18. Raging Bull?

  19. Uhhh why the Beatles, they suck

    Nailed me as a Cubs fan. However, same answers also yielded Yankees. 🤮 my poor Red Sox fan wife got saddled with Dodgers and ATH.

  21. I’m old. But I know my Scorsese! Guardians? Sure. I’m a fan of a team in that AL Central. OK Guardians because they did the good thing and changed their name and image!

  22. Astonished that I got my IRL team the White Sox. Nice work.

  23. got the A’s. ew

  24. Wtf did I do to get the Rockies?

  25. I’m an Orioles fan btw (not much better)

  26. wtf did I choose to get me to be a Rockies fan? I’m an Orioles fan, so that’s not much better.

    No disrespect but there’s no way Braves fans’ favorite Beatle is George Harrison. It’s definitely Ringo. (Mets fan here)

  28. As a Pirates Cubs Tigers fan I see no reason why I should have not to gotten the Twins, fair fs ❤️
