I also guessed Williams wrong. Todd Zeile would have been good for at least 2 squares today


Williams missed too much time due to his military commitments. And he walked a heck of a lot. Still, with all that working against hm, he only missed by less than two seasons worth of hits. Rickey Henderson and Eddie Murray are good answers. Henderson also played for the Dodgers, so 3,000 hits in the LA box, too.

A rare immaculate for me.

Tonight's starter Andrew Heaney would work in each of the four upper/left squares: TEX/LAD, TEX/LAA, MIA/LAD, MIA/LAA

I got my first eight guesses correct, but couldn't come up with an Oriole/Giant. I considered Casey Stengel, but went with Mike Cuellar. Both would have been wrong.



Orioles/Reds: Milt Pappas 3%

Orioles/Giants: --

Orioles/.300: George Sisler 19%

Astros/Reds: Joe Morgan 45%

Astros/Giants: JD Davis 4%

Astros/.300: Jose Altuve 95%

Padres/Reds: Randy Myers 3%

Padres/Giants: Kevin Mitchell 5%

Padres/.300 Tony Gwynn 96%

Orioles/.300: George Sisler 20%

Astros/Reds: Cesar Cedeno 3%

Padres/Giants: Gaylord Perry 3%

Padres/.300: Tony Gwynn 95%



Helped again by being in the Bay Area in the '70's/early '80's so my Giant knowledge of that time is good.

The odds of me even thinking about Tom O'Malley period much less knowing that he was a Giant AND that he was an Oriole are actually less than zero.





And in case anyone is wondering if there's a minimum number of ABs needed for the career .300 BA, the answer is no. I went with John Paciorek (brother of brief '85 NYM Tom) who went 3-for-3 in his only ML game for the Astros career .300 hitter. It was accepted.

Same here. Eight out of nine. Can't believe that the Orioles/Giants cell stumped me being that both of those teams have been around for more than 100 years. Maybe somebody'll come to me later.

I completed the Mets column today: Twins (Tim Teufel), Pirates (Jon Niese) and Rays (Lucas Duda). I got Rick Aguilera for Cubs/Twins and Travis d'Arnaud for Rays/Braves. I then tried to play the LaTroy Hawkins card for Rays/Cubs and failed, so I gave up.



What's interesting here is I think I was the first one to play the game today! When I entered Jon Niese for Mets/Pirates, the number in the corner was 100%. I then refreshed the page and it went down to 50%. Refreshed again, 33%. Once more, 25%. Now it's down to a much more reasonable 0.8%.

Saturday is definitely the easy one. I got my first and only immaculate grid last week.



8 today. I forgot that Jeets was never named MVP.

I think the Saturday immaculate grid is the antithesis of the Sunday Times crossword

Yeah, today is a good day to look beyond getting nine out of nine and aiming for a good rarity score. I got a 77 too.

Today's was easy even if you, like me, aren't entirely sure what Silver Sluggers are.


I hadn't noticed previously that the Saturday puzzles were easier than the rest. But I agree - the only challenge for me was coming up with a COL/NYY guy.

I think it's harder to get a low rarity score on puzzle's like today's that are easier and full of statistical categories. The lowest rarity scores, I would think, come when all six categories are teams.

Fairly is the answer to a trivia question that came in handy on today's puzzle: the first player to have played for both Canadian teams.



I think that this is the first time that I played a National instead of an Expo.

Owning a baseball card company sure comes in handy.

My ninth Immaculate Grid, with a rarity score of 72. (My best score was a 5!) None of my choices were the post popular answer. My recollection that several members of the Big Red Machine ended up in Philadelphia helped me with this puzzle.



A's/Phillies: Joe Morgan 4%

A's/40 HR: Reggie Jackson 9%

A's/HOF: Ty Cobb 2%

Red Sox/Phillies: Tony Perez 0.6%

Red Sox/40 HR: Ted Williams 6%

Red Sox/HOF: Cy Young 2%

Reds/Phillies: Pete Rose 30%

Reds/40 HR: George Foster 14%

Reds/HOF: Frank Robinson 4%
