Re: Immaculate Grid
Yeah I'm all about this too. Pretty sweet. I'm 7 right of 9 this morning, trying to think of 2 more players who played for both the Tigers and Anaheim/Tampa.
Re: Immaculate Grid
I got six. But my Tiger/Angel had only been selected by 0.1% of guessers, so I had that going for me.

Re: Immaculate Grid
I got 6, missing all the players who had played for two teams with the exception of the Angels/Cardinals gimme.
I was surprised that only 0.2% of people picked the same 20-win, .300 average pitcher I did. I'm not sure if the two obvious great hitting pitchers ever won 20 in a season - I'm fairly certain the active one hasn't - so I didn't go with either of them.

Re: Immaculate Grid
Same here. I don't know Angels and Detroit especially, feel like I'd do better with NL clubs
Re: Immaculate Grid
The Mets pedigrees helped - that was how I got the StL/TB overlap and, had I thought about it, I would have gotten the TB/Det overlap for the same reason.Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2023 11:18 am Same here. I don't know Angels and Detroit especially, feel like I'd do better with NL clubs

Re: Immaculate Grid
Still working on this one. So far I have seven. I have three green boxes in the top row and three green boxes in the bottom row. And I have the third box in the middle row. I can barely think of any Tampa players at all, much less any who also played for the Cardinals or Tigers. (Although I did think of a .300 hitter.) Maybe something will click for me.

Re: Immaculate Grid
I DEMAND extra credit for going with Dan Petry (0.1%) as my Tiger-Angel.
Re: Immaculate Grid
I had Josh Thole as a 0.5% the other day :)
Re: Immaculate Grid

Only five percent got Rod Carew? Wow! We're getting old.Benjamin Grimm wrote: ↑Sat Jun 24, 2023 6:50 am My answers for June 23:

Re: Immaculate Grid
My guess is 5% (including meself) went with Carew, while a much larger percentage went with Mike Trout, with a few Tim Salmon fans and the like sprinkled in there.
My 20-win .300-hitter was Don Drysdale, which they accepted.

Don Newcombe here.

Re: Immaculate Grid
Good one.
I'm thinking that a review of Newcombe's Hall of Fame case might be worthwhile. After taking into account years lost to military service, years lost to segregation, and his outstanding hitting prowess, his legacy may shine a little brighter. He also finished his career as an outfielder/firstbaseman in Japan.
Crappy post-season record, though. And an ugly drinking problem.

Re: Immaculate Grid
Got stumped on my last guess trying to come up with a Giant/Red, of all things.
