Anyone tried the Immaculate Grid game?

Well, they went ahead and did it.  You can go back and play previous grids and play ones you've missed.  All the scores are tracked, too.

Just what I needed, more ways to waste my time.   I got an 8/9 on Grid no. 1.   I don’t think their archive of past scores goes back past when BB-ref acquired the Grid, because this says my first game was July 11 but I started playing in late June.

Got a 9/9, 142 today.  I was surprised how popular my answer for Reds/Tigers was, at 39%.   Heck, I was just happy to think of someone.

My Reds/Tiger was 13% but I thought for sure it would be a 1% guy. I got 8/9, 327. I needed two guesses for a DET 3000 hitter.

You beat me by 2, I had 9/9, 144.

Spoiler

Don Gullett, Ichiro, Roger Clemens

Frank Robinson, Nap Lajoie, Dennis Eckersley

Jose Iglesias, Al Kaline, Justin Verlander

My big mistake, rarity-wise, was not thinking of Lolich or McClain for the Detroit 200K guys.   I am not quite old enough to have seen them but I am certainly aware of them.  Verlander was 54 of my 144 points.

9/9, 87 rarity score today.  I’ve had a pretty good run (for me) lately, with 9/9 in 5 of the last 10 games.  Is it my imagination, or are the Saturday grids a little easier than the rest?  I’ve gotten a 9/9 four Saturdays in a row.  

Started playing the back games, and got a 33 on Grid # 2.   That’s my second best score to date.

This morning was a cakewalk.  9/9 112 rarity score.  Took about 3 minutes.

Spoiler

Dave Winfield, Chone Figgins, Gary Pettis

Frank Thomas, Lance Johnson, Ozzie Guillen

Rickey Henderson, Davey Lopes, Cody Bellinger

Gary Pettis is a good answer anytime an Angels 30 steals/GG square comes up.  Davey Lopes, former Orioles first base coach, longtime Dodger steals threat.

Saturday grids are easier.  They always put up more season stats/award winners.

Currently looking at 87. Made some hay with the Blue Jays column and the LAD GG.

[Just Regular]

Rudy Law was my favorite answer today.

TOR-CHW was my last square and I spent a few minutes seeing if I could resolve the haze whether Roberto Alomar went there on his way out of the league.    He did!

I didn't do as well as you.   

I was proud of myself for getting 3.43% total for my Oriole row, but you beat that.

My Oriole row:  Eliot Maddox, TJ McFarland, Al Bumbry.

Dave Winfield, Mark Teixeira, Nolan Ryan

Twins/Reds was making my head hurt and I don't know why I thought of Alex Ochoa.  Probably because at one point he was an Orioles prospect that we traded for, I think, Bobby Bonilla...and teenage Moose thought that Ochoa, due to his prodigious throwing arm, was going to be the next Roberto Clemente.  It was Ochoa and Curtis Goodwin and those two were going to make the Orioles champions for a long time.  Anyway, I remembered Ochoa played for the Reds at one point and I was tired of thinking about it. Could think of a lot of Reds players, a lot of Twins players but no one that overlapped.  

Surprised Dave Winfield was only 2%.

33 today. Pretty sure that’s my personal best. Not sure how I can incorporate this into my performance review.

If you were on the clock when you did it I suggest you don't mention it at all.
