Eh, I don't know, maybe. I think I'm incredibly deep on some things, not so much on others. I'm probably decent on stuff like the 1930s A's, but anybody who can pull three names from some of those endless 47-107 Phillies teams managed by Doc Prothro has to be born and raised in Philly in unfortunate family circumstances that resulted in a deeply twisted personality. It's like knowing the June 11th, 1988 starting lineup of the O's, in 2055.

Yeah, but generally, you don’t need to know the mediocre players.   You just need to know what teams Napoleon Lajoie played for.   There’s a roster-full of Hall of Famers where I’m really not sure who their principal team was, much less more than one team.

I have to say, born outside of the US 50 States and DC is my least favorite category.  It's dumb.

Okay, this is just showing off.

8/9 242.  I missed Tampa 30+ steals initially, I went with Randy Winn trying to get cute with the rarity score instead of just going with Carl Crawford who I selected next.  Left Philly/Tampa open.

Spoiler

Open, Jose Canseco, Carl Crawford

Von Hayes, Kirk McCaskill, Mike Trout

Bobby Abreu, Ozzie Guillen, Ichiro

It’s pretty easy, so I’m in favor!

I went with Early Wynn.

9/9, 59 rarity score.   Under three minutes too, found this to be a real easy one.

Once I figured out I wasn't going to be able to go all Orioles, I just zipped through it.   Mostly 70s/80s/90s guys, only one contemporary player and one old-timer who is only known for being the weak half of a lopsided trade.

Spoiler

Ernie Broglio, Darrell Porter, Bob Forsch

Ben Zobrist, Sal Bando, Dave Stewart

Andre Dawson, Henry Aaron, Jim Palmer.

Did the pitcher have to win 20 for that team? Jim Kaat won over 20 games in a season and pitched for the Cardinals.  He just didn’t win 20 while he was a Cardinal.  I was 4/4 with good rarity before that miss.

Yes, single season achievements such as 20 games, MVP, gold glove, have to have been with the team.

Career things like Hall of Fame, 500 HRs, etc don't have to be with the team, they just have to have played with the team.

John Smoltz, Kevin Mitchell, Jim Rice

9/9 172 for me.  I was just glad to get all 9.   I had to close my eyes and pray for Atlanta/SF before clicking submit.

@SteveAI think this might be one where you can get all Orioles.  Or come really close to it....after filling it out this morning and getting the score on my laptop, I opened it up on my phone to try to see if I could do your challenge.  

Here's a hint, Fred Lynn surprisingly never won a Silver Slugger.  Not in Boston, not anywhere.  So that took me out of the running.
