G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted March 23, 2024 Posted March 23, 2024 Knowing Yogi Berra played third base in the final game in Philadelphia A's history paid off.
cal sharpie Old-Timey Member Posted March 23, 2024 Posted March 23, 2024 I pulled a 3 today. Nobody over 0.8C/AS Jerty Grote 0.4C/MVP Ernie Lombardi 0.8C/OUS Ramon Castro 0.53B/AS Ken Boyer 0.63B/MVP Joe Morgan 0.23B/OUS Jose Vizcaino 0.2CF/AS Enos Slaughter 0.04CF/MVP Joe Medwick 0.1CF/OUS Chili Davis 0.1Helped that I was living in San Francisco in 1982 when Joe Morgan made a big deal about how he could play 3b to get Duane Kuiper's bat in the Giants linneup and Chili Davis was the regular centerfielder. Joe Medwick and Enos Slaughter were lucky guesses.

Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted March 25, 2024 Posted March 25, 2024 I only got eight of nine. I guessed Mickey Rivers as a 100-run Yankee.I went with Jesse Orosco, Doug Flynn, and Lance Johnson in the Mets row.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted March 25, 2024 Posted March 25, 2024 Rarity = 54, more than 2/3 of it on Pujols cuz I couldn't think of anyone else.LAD/NYY - Todd Zeile (0.2%)NYY/GG - Teixeira (5%)NYY/100R+ - Rizzuto (2%)NYM/LA - Tommy Davis (0.4%)NYM/GG - Doug Flynn (1%)NYM/100R+ - Bernard Gilkey (1%)StL/LAD = Albert Pujols (37%)StL/GG - Ken Boyer (1%)StL/100R+ - Willie McGee (6%)I try to do these things too fast sometimes (often during lunch) so if I thought it out better I'd have saved Zeile for LAD/StL and had more choices for NYY/LAD. Maybe that would have come out as a wash in the end but it sucked being backed into a corner with little time and one guess remaining.

The rarity score is a bitch.If I can get the two team combos then I'm generally in good shape. But I just don't know too many guys who played for Tampa, the White Sox, Seattle, really most of the AL teams. If they weren't also Mets or famous players I'm at a loss.
