Anyone tried the Immaculate Grid game?

If you click on the green NEW under it says that players born in the US Territories like PR, USVI are considered born outside of the USA.

That’s weak. I purposely left off Puerto Ricans. Had a 31 score. Used two HOFers plus one ex-Oriole.

Just couldn't come up with a Mariner/Brave so I got 8/9.   Had a good rarity score of 49 for the 8 squares I did fill.

Used Erik Bedard for the non-US born Mariner, got 0.3%.

7/9 327 rarity score

I thought Mark Buehrle would have been a White Sox pitcher with 2000 strikeouts.  I couldn't think of Cubs/Tigers so I guessed Dave Kingman who I knew played for the Cubs.  Missing Chris Sale as a guy who has 2000 strikeouts is embarrassing, so is Javy Baez as the Cubs/Tigers player.

Had my first 9/9, <100 today, thanks to a fortunate outcome on a near daily Octavio Dotel guess when stuck.     Between him and Mike Morgan, the lean is if I can remember them on one of the grid teams pre-guess.

Pretty easy grid today and I got 9/9 with a 42 rarity score, 25 of my points coming from one answer.

9/9 46 rarity score

Jack Voigt, Ken Singleton, Jim Thome

Jose Canseco, Carl Yaz, Orlando Cepeda

Cliff Lee, Greg Luzinski, Dale Murphy

Cliff Lee threw everything out of whack with a 26%.  Surprised that Dale Murphy was 1%.  Jack Voigt .03% and Ken Singleton was .4%

I had the same one big square that you did.  I really need to come up with someone better there.

I just didn't think Cliff Lee was that memorable.

I was going to use Lee there, but used an ex-O there instead at. 0.3%. 42 overall.

I remembered Kevin Millwood for 1%.

9/9 for 208 rarity score.  I'm assuming that might come down, it's only 5 mins past 9.  But I'm on a work conference call and this was a good distraction.

Spoiler

Manny Machado, Cody Bellinger, Jackie Robinson

Joe Carter, Albert Belle, Larry Doby

Dave Winfield, Rickey Henderson, Cool Papa Bell

132. The Negro League column was difficult to get low scores. I got the highest Cleveland and HOFer. Didn’t do the obvious Dodgers one.

Used one former Oriole.

Dodgers row was the best at 31.

Should have used Don Newcombe or Roy Campanella for the Dodgers Negro League player but didn't want to think too much about it.

I blew the Negro League/HOF question.   I thought I remembered that Hank Aaron had played a year there before going to the majors and thought that would get a good score.  Wrong.

Hadn’t played in awhile. Surprisingly, breezed through it in 5 minutes for a 9/9 136 score.   Didn’t get cute going for low point totals.
