Immaculate Grid
Re: Immaculate Grid
My Yankee/Diamondback was Randy Johnson. That kind of put me in a bind, because I then needed a 3000-strikeout Diamondback. Torn between Curt Schilling and Zack Greinke, I gakked when I went for the latter. Greinke is currently sitting at 2,979.
In other words, he's within a Mark Prior start of 3,000 strikeouts.

I had two failed attempts at the Reds 20-game winner. Apparently neither Tom Seaver nor Don Gullett ever won 20 in Cincinnati.

With one exception that was even earlier I went all '60's and '70's and '80's for todays:
CIN/LAA Dave Parker 3%
CIN/20+ Jim Maloney 5%
CIN/30+ Vada Pinson 0.6%
PIT/LAA John Candelaria 5%

PIT/30 Omar Moreno 9%
SF/LAA Jim Barr 0.7%
SF/20 Carl Hubbell 3%
SF/30 Bill North 0.8%

I use Vada Pinson as often as I can since my Little League mitt was a Vada Pinson autograph model. He was also a really good player. Barr and North came from living in the Bay Area when they were Giants.

Turns out that the year Rico Carty hit .366 for the Braves he missed 25 games and notched only 175 hits ... so that blew my immaculateness.
