I keep screwing myself over by flying too close to the sun. The rarity score is a bitch.

I keep screwing myself over by flying too close to the sun. The rarity score is a bitch.

If I can get the two team combos then I'm generally in good shape. But I just don't know too many guys who played for Tampa, the White Sox, Seattle, really most of the AL teams. If they weren't also Mets or famous players I'm at a loss.

[cal sharpie]

I'm okay with the older AL teams but Tampa Bay, Seattle, etc. are my bete noire.

Got an 18 today:

BOS/LAA Spike Owen 0.3
BOS/100RBI Butch Hobson 0.5
BOS/20 WINS Luis Tiant 5
OAK/LAA Don Baylor 3
OAK/100RBI Tony Armas 0.6
OAK/20 WINS Eddie Plank 1
STL/LAA Adam Kennedy 1
STL/100RBI Ken Boyer 0.7
STL/20WINS John Tudor 5

[Benjamin Grimm]

Tampa really kills me. Evan Longoria, Travis d'Arnaud. Dwight Gooden. Lucas Duda. That's about all I got.

[Frayed Knot]

27 for me.
That 11% on Maddux [GG/HoF] accounted for more than 40% of that, particularly
frustrating as ir was my final guess. I thought I was being clever by putting a pitcher
there. Not as clever as I thought as it turns out.

Rarity score, not so rare, but a 9/9 is a 9/9

[Frayed Knot]

Lowered mine a bit by first thinking of Frank Robinson for BAL/CIN but then remembering the guy he was traded for, Milt Pappas

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I completed the puzzle for the first time in a while today albeit with a 99.

Huston Street-Larry Walker-Vinny Castilla
Ken Holtzman-Tyler Clippard-Ichiro
Reggie-Harper-Manny

[Fman99]

I've been barfing on these all week. Got 8 of 9 a couple times but got stuck on a two team pair, today was COL/OAK

[Benjamin Grimm]

That one tripped me up today too.

[Frayed Knot]

Steve Blass topped out at 19 Wins for the Pirates
There are 31 correct answers for that square [PITT/20 Wins] but just six of them since the end of the Truman administration.

[Edgy MD]

I've screwed up trying to be too cute recently, so today I went mostly with the most obvious of guesses.

But my last one was Jim Wohlford. He's somehow my Nat-Expo/Brewer.

[Frayed Knot]

I was surprised to see that Nyjer Morgan was the most common answer to WAS/MIL
I wouldn't have come up with that name if given six weeks of contemplation and, even
if I did recall him, which teams he played with would have been pure guesswork.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, you remember him.

[Frayed Knot]

Oh I remembered him once I heard his name.
But if tasked with thinking up Brewers/Nationals, or even just a Brewer OR a National, my mind would have
landed on Nyjer Morgan about six years from next Tuesday ... maybe.

[Fman99]

First one I've solved all week thanks to the Saturday lay up. And I think my all time lowest rarity score.

I solved it with nine Mets today. I think this is a first for me.

Alomar, Carter, Piazza.
Lindor, Pedro, Beltran.
Alonso, Murray, Mays

[Frayed Knot]

Hank Greenberg hit 40 or more HRs three times (topped by a season of 58). But what I didn't know was that he lost almost Four Full Seasons to WWII and therefore finished with only 1,628 hits.

It's screwups like this which keep me from finishing 90% of these.

[Fman99]

Finally broke a ten or so day losing streak. Most of my rarity points used up on Jackie.
