Yes that was definitely the best guess for the 500/O's square.   I didn't think of him, I went with Raffy figuring he was less associated with the O's than Eddie or Frank.

My O’s 500 guy was Thome, and I figured few would remember he ever played for the O’s.  

 

I tried Sosa.

160 rarity score.

51 today. Not sure if it was my best score ever, but it’s been awhile since I got something that low. No square more than 10% currently.

Today I learned Expos can count as Nationals.

I took my first miss on the Nationals HOF square half giving up with a Frank Robinson guess in case managers got to count.    The answer key had a lot of Montreal it hadn't occurred to me would have been okay.

Now I want to do George Sisler some Orioles day.

I had to cheat a little. The only National I could think of who might have made it is Ryan Zimmerman, who doesn't seem like a Hall of Famer, but looked up the HOF criteria and then when I typed Zimmerman's name in the box I could see when he popped up that he hasn't been retired long enough. That meant it has to be all Expos. 

Now my question is do Expos still count as Nationals for the purposes of players overlapping franchises, or just for the HOF question?

My understanding is the Expos count for any Nats related box. I’ve used several Expos the few times the curly W has shown up.

Today I got 9/9, except for the fact that when I typed in the name of my Blue Jays all star, some other player popped up and I clicked it before I realized it.  So, I checked my real answer on my wife’s device and it scored a 2%.   136 rarity score nothing to write home about, but l’ll take it.

9/9 with an 81 rarity score this morning.  For some reason it was really easy, didn't have to think too much about these guys.  I maintain that the more you play this game and the more names you remember over time, the easier it gets.  Also maybe since it's a Sunday morning and I'm not preoccupied with my day job, it's a little easier to think about this.

Steve Carlton, Bill Swift, Juan Marichal

For me it's Colorado. I swear the Rockies are such a weird organization, nobody who played for that team ever played for any other team.

For me, my kryponite is any team but the Orioles, if it’s a question of who played for two teams.
