Immaculate Grid

[Benjamin Grimm]

I got a 53, with some of the same guesses as yours. (Even though my numbers add up to only 52. I guess there's some rounding going on.)



NEGL/300AVG - Willie Mays 6

NEGL/10HR - Larry Doby 12

NEGL/10W - Don Newcombe 10

LAD/300AVG - Brett Butler 1

LAD/10HR - Duke Snider 3

LAD/10W - Fernando Valenzuela 8

BAL/300AVG - Eddie Murray 8

BAL/10HR - Brooks Robinson 2

BAL/10W - Pat Dobson 2

[Frayed Knot]

Newcombe could qualify in four categories: .300 BA and 10 wins for both Dodgers and Negro Lg,, and then doesn't miss 10 HRs by much which would slot him in twice more (topped out at 7 for one season just 117 ABs)

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Spoiled my rarity on Mays & Paige (89%!!)

Mays-Doby-Page

Garvey-Cey-Welch

Mora-Hoiles-Ballard

[cal sharpie]

I got a 37 today:



NEG/300 Turkey Stearnes 0.8

NEG/10HR Josh Gibson 29 (almost all of the points)

NEG/10W Andy Cooper 0.07

LAD/300 Willie Davies 0.6

LAD/10HR Carl Furillo 0.6

LAD/10W Jerry Reuss 0.9

BAL/300 George Sisler 2

BAL/10HR Chris Hoiles 0.9

BAL/10W Dave McNally 2

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

we both got Chris Hoiles, that ought help our combined Rarity Score

[cal sharpie]

Yeah, Chris Hoiles rules though not as much as Turkey Stearnes.

[Benjamin Grimm]

The categories that tend to give me the most trouble (other than Tampa Bay Rays) are 30 saves, first-round draft pick, and only one team.

[Fman99]

Pretty bad rarity score but at least I was able to come up with all six of the two team overlaps. That'd be a long shot most days.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I whiffed on the entire middle row. I had Howard Johnson as a Rockie third baseman and Walt Weiss at second base. Both were wrong.

[Frayed Knot]

For the bottom row I went Miguel Castro - Gary Carter - and then dragged the name Brad Emaus from out of the cob webs (0.3% and not even a picture)

[Benjamin Grimm]

I did Gene Woodling (0.2%), Gary Carter (1%) and Ken Boswell (1%)

I liked this one - a pleasant smattering of mets including one of my favourite rare ones in Desi Relaford - but wish I'd saved him for the Rockies as I'm sure he'd have done a damn sight better for me then Vinny Castilla! [attachment=0]Screenshot 2024-02-13 at 10.14.01.png[/attachment]

Another good rarity score.

I only got eight. Harvey Haddix never had an ERA under 3 while a Pirate.

[Chad ochoseis]

It was kind of fun today. I blew it by forgetting the degree to which Buzz Capra sucked except for the year he won the ERA title with Atlanta.

[Frayed Knot]

I went real low on the Pirates: Lloyd Waner (I under-cut FMan on Waners) - Brian Giles - Roy Face (all 1%'ers)

and real low on Mets: Duke Snider - Lance Johnson - Tug (2.0, 0.3, 0.8)

But not so low on the top line: Josh Gibson, Roy Campanella, Satchel Paige (13%, 12%, 77%)

[Fman99]

Up early enough to do yesterday's grid before the 6 AM reset.

I'm surprised at how few White Sox pitchers had 200 strikeouts in a season. That was the only category I missed today. (Lamar Hoyt was incorrect.)

[Benjamin Grimm]

I only got eight out of nine today, but I'm pretty sure I got gypped. For Played in Negro Leagues/Played Outfield Min. 1 Game, I chose Hank Aaron. I can't see why that would have been rejected.

[Chad ochoseis]

They only count Negro Leagues records up to 1948. I think that's an overall MLB rule, not an Immaculate Grid decision. I guess the logic is that after 1948, the best African American players were going into the major leagues? Not exactly true, but it's the only rationale I can think of.



Aaron played shortstop for the Indianapolis Clowns in 1951. I fell into the same trap a couple of weeks ago.

[Fman99]

Ah the Saturday layup puzzle.

[Frayed Knot]

I was going for an all-Mets grid, which I had through the top two rows.



Alonso - Mays - Seaver

Ron Hodges - Piazza - Delgado

Then I had to fill out the bottom row with scrubs like: Oneil Cruz - [CROSSOUT]Bonus[/CROSSOUT] (frickin' auto-correct) Honus Wagner - Alex Rodriguez



Piazza (32%) and ARod (33%) wrecked any chance at a good rarity score.

Alonso, Mays, Seaver, Hodges, Delgado, and Cruz were all 2% or under.
