L:ikewise, I keep it up for hours. I like it that Bo Jackson showed up on both of ours but on different lines.

Got a 38 score today:

DET/CHC Ivan deJesus 0.1
DET/200 Mickey Lolich 7
CHW/KC Miguel Olivo 0.2
CHW/CHC Johnny Evers 0.2

I don't have that kind of patience.
Today i looked at the teams involved and knew i was in trouble. So i plugged in the right hand column, got Sammy Sosa in the center square (Paul Lynde wasn't available), then stared at the others for like ten minutes befor hitting the 'Give Up' button.

also by my own stupidity I found out that it wasn't "first round pick by team in question" but first round pick that played with team in question (but could be picked by any team in the first round )

Yeah, I just found that out when they showed Adam Wainwright as the most common answer for StL even though he was drafted by Atlanta.

For the NYM pick in that category I almost got too cute by picking Steve Chilcott before remembering that he never reached the majors and so would gave been rejected.

Dennis Ribant for my NYM/PIT netted me a 0.07% score

Immaculate with Rarity of 23

CHC/CLE: Rick Sutcliffe 8%
CHC/20: Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown 4%
CHC/All Star: Gabby Harnett 0.5%
BOS/CLE: Lou Boudreau 0.4%
BOS/20: Luis Tiant 4%
BOS/All Star: Rico Petrocelli 0.9%
LAD/CLE: Sandy Alomar Jr 0.7%
LAD/20: Don Newcombe 3%
LAD/All Star: Bill Russell 0.5%

I like when they have the All Star category as you have the chance to put in old timers, mediocre players and flash-in-the-pan types.
