Apparently neither did Andruw Jones.
Growing up a Braves fan helped with that one. Bob Horner gave me a 3% answer.
Even though I know better, I fell into same year thinking with Knox. Bummer!
I remembered Furcal for some reason.
I enjoy smacking my forehead when reading the most common answers after my typical 6/9 effort. Like others, today I learned that neither Jones was ROY. And because I’m an idiot, Acuña never even occurred to me.
7/9 290. Drew a blank on Brewers apart from Yount.
7/9, not as low a rarity score. Sabathia a very frequent visitor to my grids.
I messed myself up by first clicking on the wrong Alomar brother by mistake and then ended up being wrong about Roberto Alomar getting 200 hits as a Blue Jay. 7/9
7 out of 9 but very proud of my Ben Francisco 0.2% for Phils Jays square. The trades of the Luhnow era have helped on this many times.
So on the 100 RBI/200 hits column, I came up with a really obscure one…Babe Ruth. It was at 5%. That’s incredibly sad.
Even as recent as Miguel Cabrera came in at 8%
DAMN. 8/9 with 5 under 1% but I got too cute and forgot Laureano never made the majors here.
9/9 with six under 10%, three under 1%. The others I just went for obvious.
My alternate grid:
Immaculate Grid 115 9/9:
Rarity: 0
IMMACULATE!
Play at:
@immaculategrid x @baseball_ref
8/9 because I’m an idiot and couldn’t tell the difference between one NY logo and the other NY logo until it was too late. AND right below Roger Clemons was Roger Cedeno. SMH.
Clemens
Rusty Staub, anyone?
7/9. Embarrassing mistakes on Marlins/Mets and Marlins/A’s. Felipe Paulino was good for 0.03 on Astros/Royals though.
I did the same thing with John Buck in the Royals square. But Justin Maxwell was good for a 0.1% on my second guess.
Also swore Ray Fosse was an A when Rose trucked him in the All Star game but he was with Cleveland then.
6/9 today but my 6 correct guesses totaled 25 rarity points.
I sucked today, but it did give me a chance to remember Caminiti’s amazing 1996 season.
Trout never won a gold glove even in his early years? Shit. 8/9.
