I was shocked at who never got to 200 K’s for the Orioles, or for that matter, the Browns.

Today, I got to use Bobo, Ice Box and Bones Ely. The names you find among the best part of IG!

Today's is a really good one to go for a low rarity score on. I got all 9 with a rarity score of 17.

for some reason, I thought Chipper had won a GG. Nope.

Used only Braves or ex-Braves...scored 106.


.

I used Andrelton Simmons for the Braves GG, he was 6% but I was certain about him.. anyone more rare I wouldn't have been sure on. Murphy was another option but I thought more people might think of him. Andruw for the GG/AS was a nice 2%.

Nice score with the Braves/ex-Braves restriction!

Because of my 'system', I was able to get a score of 11 restricting to Braves or ex-Braves with the exception of Dodger A-S which I used on my Cousin Whit Wyatt.


On my third grid, I got it down to a score of 1 with all connecting to the Braves.


It does help, of course, that the Braves have been around since 1876.

I got it perfect today for the second time ever. Rarity score 104. Best of all, I got to use a 19th century player for the first time!

Another spoiler alert:

Here's my Braves' Connection '1' score:

Hardy Richardson, nice!

I read a story about him once that stated he 'invented' the way shortstops play. Not sure how true that is, but it helped me choose him.



.

I completed the football "bonus grid" today. Rarity score 37! I've never come close with the football grid before...

No luck with baseball - I couldn't think of anyone who played for Toronto and Cleveland :(

Joe Carter doesn't ring a bell?

After starting with the Cubs, he and Cory Snyder were the S.I. cover-boys when so many were predicting a World Series in their path, then he won the '93 series off 'The Wild Thing'.

Yeah, that should have been an easy one. Sometimes my mind goes blank with that type of question!

It helps to learn the teams of some guys who played for tons of teams as you can use them quite often and they tend to be rare picks that not many people think of. E.g. Edwin Jackson (14 teams!), Dotel, Kenny Lofton, Rickey, Orosco, Mike Cameron.

...and 'Big Sexy' (LOL)



.

I do these things strictly from memory - no look-ups, references, etc. besides what's in my head. Blue Jays and Mariners present a serious challenge, and if any teams newer than that are included, I am helpless. Here's my best lately, with the old school teams (Sept. 13.)

AWESOME! I got a 64 today (9/15) using only my memory.




.

Today had 2 columns of awards and 1 for the Phillies so I was able to get all 9 for a change.

I'm not sure when it got added, but there's now a link that let's you go back to grids from previous days so you can try ones you missed.

Another good day to go for a high rarity score!

Got a 14, as always not using any resources other than memory.

Took a while for me to come up with anyone besides the obvious pick for Royals HOF.

I got a 20 - also only using memory...though I was able to recall some previous choices and that helped a lot.

Got to use 'Pretzels' again:

Today's grid had a box for Royals Hall of Famer. I could only think of one (who's obvious). Apparently there are 3 others I saw once I finished. As a trivia question, who can name the 4 Hall of Famers who played on the Royals?

Killebrew is one

Gaylord Perry and Orlando Cepeda in addition to Killebrew and Brett.

Yes, those are the 4. I had no idea that Cepeda, Perry and Killebrew all played their last season with the Royals. Brett was the only Hall of Famer for KC that I could think of.
