I'm guessing that for awards like MVP and Rookie of the Year, then, you have to pick the team for which the player won the award; picking Eddie Murray as a Met and an ROY won't work.

[Edgy MD]

I thought Coney was a 200K guy with the Royals too. Fortunately, I needed him as my Royalsock, so I used him there.



Unfortunately, I wrongly guessed Saberhagen (also a Royalsock) as my false guess before (duh) keying in on Greinke.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Here are the most popular correct answers for each box in this puzzle:





Royals/Red Sox: Andrew Benitendi -- (50%)

Royals/Cleveland: Carlos Santana -- (50%)

Royals 200k: Zach Greinke -- (97%)

Mariners/Red Sox: James Paxton -- (39%)

Mariners/Cleveland: Carlos Santana -- (23%)

Mariners 200k: Felix Hernandez -- (58%)

Rangers/Red Sox: Nathan Eovaldi -- (28%)

Rangers/Cleveland: Corey Kluber -- (26%)

Rangers 200k: Nolan Ryan -- (87%)



The Royals/Cleveland box was the toughest to solve -- only 53% of players had a correct answer for it.

I thought I had a shot today, then whiffed on my first guess.

O's/a's: I was thinking Miguel tejada and my brain gave me Melvin mora.

A's/twins: I could t quite pull terry steinbach out of the deepest recesses of my brain and stumbled with Ted Lilly, who seems like he should've been a twins pitcher.

Rickey finished off the a's row.

Robbie alomar (2%) Dave Winfield (9%) and Gwynn filled my padres obligation. Frank Robinson (23%) was my oriole masher.



Hopefully I do better next time.

I got everything but A's/Twins. (I guessed Rico Carty; second time he's let me down. I'll have to look at his BBRef page so I'll be better informed!)

Eight out of nine. One of the cells stumped me to the point that I didn't even bother to take a guess. The expansion teams are gonna be my weakness in this game. Oh, and I took a gamble on Rusty Staub and it turns out that Expos are accepted for the Nats logo boxes --- as it should be.



Angels/Nats: Tim Foli (0.06%)

Angels/Marlins: ?

Angels/20W season: Dean Chance (0.8%)

Cubs/Nats: Larry Biitner (0.009%) <-------- That's three digits to the right of the decimal point!

[Fman99]

One of these turns I'll get all 9. For the second time this week my lack of Anaheim Angels knowledge cost me. (OE: Maybe the other time it was a different AL team and not the Angels. I really don't know the current AL rosters).

I like to work in Mets, and lots of Metly content today! Gary Carter, Al Leiter, Tom Seaver, Damion Easley, Ellis Valentine -- and Steve Renko, who played for the Mets in the minors and was in every pack of 1973 Topps cards I opened.

[dgwphotography]

Grid 87: 7-9 got all of the 20 game winners, and was surprised that it allowed Andrea Dawson for Nats/Cubs.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I only missed the Angel-Marlin today. The rest was easy



Got rare with Todd Zeile as the Cub-Marlin

Howie Kendrick (8) Bryan Harvey (3) and Nolan Ryan (44)

Scherzer (52) piazza (13) Seaver (58)



Castro was my biggest guess. I was worried I was conflating him with someone else.



Whew.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I only got six of nine. Nationals (I didn't think to include Expos for them) and Marlins stumped me because all or most of their history came along after my attention waned following the 1994 strike.



For the Angels, I only got their 20-win pitcher, Nolan Ryan. (43%)



Cubs/Nationals: Daniel Murphy 6%

I was overly confident that Chone Figgins was both an Angel and a National. It turns out that they are both just red teams. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Chad ochoseis]

6 of 9. I might have done better if I didn't wake up at 4:15, see the M, think, "oh, Mariners", and immediately put Edwin Diaz in what was actually the Marlins/Mets box.



But like Ben Grimm, I haven't been plugged in enough to baseball since 1994 to be able to name a Cub and Marlin. "Name a Marlin" is challenging enough.



I also played it safe and assumed Expos wouldn't be considered Nationals.



Angel/National - Rendon

Angel/Marlin - ?

20-win Angel - Ryan

Cub/Nat - ?

Cub/Marlin - ?

20-win Cub - Jenkins

Met/ Nat - Murph

Met/Marlin - Conine

20-win Met - Seaver

I was 5/5 but hit a wall with the Tampa ROY. I knew that the name would come to me if I slept on it though.



So I slept and the name came to me! But it was the wrong name (Carl Crawford). And so was the next one (Wander Franco).



Screw you, Tampa.

This one didn't look promising at all to me, but I managed to pull out an 8. I got all the Brady kids, and Mike and Carol, but I missed out on the Alice square, also known as the "Paul Lynde".

Eight out of nine. I whiffed on the same cell that Grimm also missed. Of my eight correct answers, the one that took me the longest to come up with was Pete Alonso (40HR season/ROY). Go figure. My rarest answer was Tiger/Phillie Jim Bunning (1%).

cocky from yesterday's immaculation, i rocked a fucking two today. awful.



i could've had a three, but i put juan samuel in the wrong spot - and he would have worked in two of 'em!

[Edgy MD]

I didn't miss on Arizona/Colorado, so much as I never got a guess in there as it took me two guesses on some other box.



Oliver Perez continues to be the gift that keeps giving.
