Got my sixth today, with a Rarity Score of 99:



️ Immaculate Grid 129 9/9:

Rarity: 99

IMMACULATE!

🟩🟩🟩

🟩🟩🟩

🟩🟩🟩





Yankees/Pirates: Willie Randolph 0.9%

Yankees/Giants: Darryl Strawberry 1%

Yankees/Rookie of the Year: Thurman Munson 3%

Twins/Pirates: Wally Backman 0.2%

Twins/Giants: Steve Carlton 1%

Twins/Rookie: Rod Carew 42%

Gold Glove/Pirates: Roberto Clemente 33%

Gold Glove/Giants: Willie Mays 16%

Gold Glove/Rookie: Johnny Bench 1%



I think I use Willie Mays more than any other player, by a wide margin.



I had my heart in my mouth as I submitted Munson and Carew; I didn't know for sure that either of them was a ROY.



And as for Bench, I don't know if he won a Gold Glove in his rookie year, or if it matters.

Tigers/Mets: Mickey Lolich 1%

I was trying to get cute with an "all mets" grid and made the same mistake with Ryan yesterday.

Seven out of nine. Totally stumped on the two misses. Not even a wild guess or two. Post '69 expansion teams are my achilles' heel in this game.

If I answered Felipe Alou for Giants/Braves, I woulda had a father/son combo in my solution.

Same here regarding the new expansion teams, I'm shocked that I even got 6 today.

I actually got eight, which is about six above my norm.

My goof was in thinking that the Alex Gonzalez who played for the Cubs was the same Alex Gonzalez who played for the Marlins.



My problem with this game, aside from age related dementia, is that I have no patience for it. I remembered the Cubs Alex Gonzalez because he made a crucial error in the Bartman inning. If I had just thought that inning through for three more seconds then Moises Alou would have come to mind and he was a known Cub/Marlin as opposed to the A.G. coin flip guess.



Was kind of proud, though, of my Mat Latos CIN/MIA pick. I remembered him cuz he was an asshole who annoyed the fuck out of me.

If I played today's game two weeks earlier, I would've only gotten five out of nine instead of seven. I got Fernando Rodney because I started to memorize his teams specifically for IG -- he played for more than ten teams and three of the 1990s expansion teams. And I got Swarzak only because I posted the Braves card thread a day or two ago and when I updated that thread for recent players, noticed that Swarzak played for the Braves.

This was certainly a CPF friendly grid. I think only my third or fourth time getting all 9 squares.

NYM/HOF - Yogi 2%

HOF/CY - Sandy Koufax 16%



I wanted to put Cy Young in the BOS/CY category, since, you know, he actually is Cy Young. Though I'm sure that'd get rejected as someone who never won the award.

Yeah i figured out right away that i could put those guys a lot of places. but when i saw how easy today's grid was i knew i wanted to try for ALL METS and so i had to think carefully about where i'd actually need to save them for before i just wrote their names down.

Matt Harvey should be shown in a Mets cap. On BBRef, retired players are shown wearing the cap of the team they played the most games for.

I messed up today as Prince Fielder did not hit .300 for Milwaukee. Rather he hit .299 TWICE!



damn it.

I shoulda gotten Gooden. When I see the Rays logo, the first players I think of are Gooden and Boggs. Today, I forgot to do that.

I have no memory of Gooden pitching for the Rays OR for the Spiders/Indians/Guardians

It's stuff like that which makes me suck at this game.
