Luis Robert injured himself in the Home Run Derby. This is my shocked face.

So did I!

I do that too. Richie Ashburn as the Philly w/200 hits. Aspromonte as the Astro/Dodger connection. I was only 8/9 though.

I didnā€™t play that one but I would have used Bob Aspromonte.

Brooklyn Dodgers are eligible arenā€™t they?

Was last Brooklyn Dodger to play in majors in 1971.

Jerry Grote would have been a good one also. 45s in '63 and Dodgers in '81

Yep.

All good choices.

9/9 My lowest represented choice today was Yordan for 100 RBI and ROY seasons @ 0.7%

Todays grid was a tough one. I am usually 8/9 or 9/9, today 6/9

The 300-game winners always get me.

Well there arenā€™t that many of them to begin with and you want me to name one that played for Cleveland?

I got Early Wynn

But it didā€™t show 2 of my guesses Nolan Ryan and Steve Carlton

The grid only has 7 pictures but Iā€™m out of guesses

4/9. My worst performance ever. I kept botching the 300 game winners.

Also, I had completely forgotten that

Beltran ever played for St. Louis.

Bobby Bonilla played for more teams than I realized.

I blanked on the Cardinal 300 game winner. I got 0.7 for my Met/Oriole who was also an Astro.

I had given up and then saw this spoiler. Carlton worked on my grid for the Cards, and I should have remembered him too. Iā€™m 8/9 without the help.

I was dumbfounded that Gibson didnā€™t win 300.

I completely blanked on the Cleveland 300-game winner. I did not remember at all Carlton played for them.

Come to think of it, Cy Young played for the St Louis Perfectos who became the Cardinals.

Tim McCarver was Carltonā€™s personal catcher going back to the St Louis days together.

Yes, I know. But that didnā€™t help me remember Carlton played for Cleveland.

Okay, I see what you were saying now. I pretty much had forgotten he played for anyone after the Phillies.
