Immaculate Grid

[cal sharpie]

Well, I don't do it every day (unlike Wordle) and I don't post if I haven't gotten them all. I do find the ones where you don't have to deal with 9 team combinations much easier -- remembering a catcher and pitcher (in this case) was pretty easy and the Cubs aren't the Rays or some team I haven't paid much attention to. I'm older than most here so can remember players from the '60's more easily (the likes of Johnny Blanchard) and have been in a fantasy league since 1999 so I've cared about a host of players that shouldn't be cared about (Miguel Olivo for example).

[Frayed Knot]

I also only manage to get to I.G. two, maybe three times a week and if I don't see at least the possibility of getting to nine I generally punt. I just don't have the patience to sit there and stew over which Cub might also have been an Oriole. Ten minutes, tops, and I'm out.

If we did have a WORDLE-like contest I'd finish in dead last place every single month.

[Edgy MD]

Today's was damned easy, though

My rarity score was nine. Without knowing, I'll happily assume that's my personal best, although still not better than sharpie. As easy as this one was, it still took something of a leap of faith for me to peg Henry Blanco as having caught for the Rox.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I couldn't think of a Rockies catcher. I incorrectly guessed John Buck.

[Fman99]

I also play every day but only share when I get it, which happens maybe 2-3 days a week. I realize regularly how little I know about the American League.

I should have used José Vizcaino. He played everywhere Kent played.

Pappas is the obvious better choice instead of Frank Robinson for CIN/BAL but, as usual, I tend to rush through these things and it just never occurred to me.

I tried Frank Howard for the Minnesota/30 HR, forgetting that he'd played for the Senators that became the Rangers, not the Senators that became the Twins.



He actually played in Texas for one season. I wouldn't have guessed he'd been active into the 70s.

Newhouser was the last one I did and he wrecked my goal of not going over 1.
