Immaculate Grid has started tracking our stats. Actually, it's been tracking for a long time. You're just not able to see the stats until you create an account, an option that has recently become available.



Here's what it has for me:



I've completed 226 grids. My average score is 7.9, and my average rarity is a not-so-good 199.



I've used 467 players. (I don't know if this counts incorrect guesses.)



The players I've used most often are:

Willie Mays, 36 times.

Darryl Strawberry 27.

Dwight Gooden 25.

Tom Seaver 25.

Steve Carlton 24.

Pedro Martinez 24.

Mike Piazza 23.

Carlos Beltran 21.

Nolan Ryan 21.



The teams I've done best with are the Mets, Dodgers, Giants, and, strangely, the White Sox.



My best categories are Born in the United States, All Star, Played Outfield, Pitched, Played Right Field

[bmfc1]

Willie is also my #1.

You did better than I did. I went with the most obvious choice, Pujols.

I'm sure he and Edmonds were 1-2. Some work days I have time to leave one like this blank and circle back to it, but I was out Friday and I knew I'd be swamped all day.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Today's was especially easy. I got all nine squares, with a rarity score of zero!

[bmfc1]

Hayden Senger made the Grid for me.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I won!



April fool's today. I did get in Dick Pole

[Benjamin Grimm]

I was tempted to go with Rusty Kuntz, but I decided to go with all Mets: Phil Hennigan, Jim McAndrew, Don Hahn, George Theodore, Eric Cammack, Billy Baldwin, Al Weis, Mike Glavine, Charlie Williams.



After I submitted my answers, I looked at the "Most Popular" grid, as I often do. This time, seven of the nine squares were Babe Ruth, and the other two were Derek Jeter and Hank Aaron. Ruth had a 0.9 in the Greg Brady spot, and between 0.2 and 0.5 in the others. Jeter was 0.3 in the Bobby spot, and Aaron was 0.2 in Carol's spot.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I had

Ted Martinez-Jack Heidemann-Dick Pole

Ty Adcock-Al Moran-Grover Powell

Mike Kinkade-Sergio Ferrer-Jesse Hudson (who doesn't even get a photo)

[cal sharpie]

0 for me as well:



Rod Kanehl/John Paciorek/Jim Paciorek

Tom Paciorek/Fred Sanford/Jack Sanford (the one from the '40's, not the one from the '60's)

Les Rohr/Wade Blasingame/Sanford Jackson

[Benjamin Grimm]

I was going to go with Aunt Esther, but it wasn't an available choice.

[Fman99]

I also got a zero !



Marv Throneberry

Babe Herman

Whitey Herzog

William Fischer

Ozzie Canseco

Tommie Aaron

Hank Sauer

(That adds up to 53, but the results says it's 52. Rounding, I assume.)

Today's grid is a tribute to Octavio Dotel. He would be eligible to appear in each of the nine boxes.
