That's weird he was only 4% for me :v:



I kinda gave up at the end and tanked my score but I'll take 70

I've been trying to shoehorn him in somehow and totally didn't even think of him today!

I was so pumped to pull Brian Giles for the Pirates 100 RBI

You guys' rarity scores put mine to shame (110 today), but still happy to get a 0.1% with Sydney Ponson for Rangers/Royals

First immaculate with a 252 rarity. How was Wade Boggs only 7% for a .300 season for Boston?

I thought today's would have been a lot easier for me than it was. I got 6 of 9 pretty quickly and then stumped on NL stuff (again).

Missed a 9 by trying to get cute. Didn't want to use the above mentioned .300 hitters for Boston. Yes, ace pitcher turned outfielder Smoky Joe Wood did hit .300, but did it for Cleveland and not Boston. Said screw it at that point and went with some obvious ones for the ROYs and 8/9 it is again.

Only one I missed today was the Ohio teams and then when I saw the top answer, I'm glad I forgot about him.

Most people used Buster Posey for SF/RotY, but I used Willie Mays for that and Buster Posey for .300/RotY.

My baseball immaculate grids are never worth sharing (usually end up with about 6), but I was surprised to see that Jackie Robinson was a 1%-er for .300/ROTY

Also the football ones are insanely difficult for me despite being the sport I've followed in depth the longest. I need to brush up on my kickers and backup QBs.

9/9 with a rarity of 147 and only double-checking answers rather than searching. Probably my best showing.

Felt like I had an okay mix of eras, too. Some from when I was a kid a, some from when I first really came back, some from now. NL stuff was again my weakness, but that's where the modern guys come in.

9/9 which feels good after yesterday's grid slaughtered me. The 40+ HR's column was bad but I made it up elsewhere and managed to drag the rarity score down to 90:

What the hell I was so certain Joe Morgan had a career average over .300. :psyduck:

And I'm always going to take any opportunity to put the greatest MVP ever, Dennis Eckersley on the list.

e: 8/9, which is by far my most common score

When am I gonna remember Sir Barrold didn't hit .300? This has to be the 3rd or 4th time I've tried to use him for that. Also, Mike Trout hasn't won a GG? Weird.

The 2nd one has absolutely gotten me in the past as well (same as Ted Williams not getting 3,000 hits)

Lower rarity = more rare. They just add up the percentages and it's worth 100 if you leave one blank.

7/9 easily from memory, the last two (Brewers side squares) only took a little extra effort. I'm glad I don't care that much about rarity, because I got 7/9 yesterday and got almost the exact same score as today.

I have a feeling that if Carlos Santana has another few years of mediocre play left in him, he'll be a really good journeyman type choice.

Got my low score today! There's no way I could've gotten it down to a 14 without a Tigers column though.

I had some emergency guesses for Brewers/Tigers, but I tried to push it and really rack my brain to come up with Fernando Vina lol

I got to use Lackey, Theriot, and Eckstein on the same grid. I'm also shocked that correa only came in at 4% on the Astros World aeries grid but 7% got The Machete for Cubs/Astros.
