Anyone playing Immaculate Grid daily?

[David W]

So is it cheating to go to baseball reference and look through teams rosters to find (for example) someone who played for Atlanta and both Pittsburgh and Toronto?

You still have to know what teams the players played for, it' s just jogging the memory banks.

My son says it is, I say it is not.

I would agree with your son. But hey, its a game, so do whatever you want.

Due to an incredible amount of Junk Wax that I ripped through during my teenage years, plus my love for baseball history/ootp, I'm often able to come up with some pretty obscure names for the grid. I love this stuff.

50 year old man here: if I see Devil Rays, Diamond Backs, Rockies, Marlins, I just come back and play the next day…

…I was happy with my Hooks Dauss pick for Tiger 20 game winner a week or so ago!

Well, when I just relied on my memory - first day I tried - score was 194.

A wise man uses all resources available to him...*

or as 'Dragline' said in 'Cool Hand Luke', 'In the law, nothing is taken for granted' (at least I think that was the quote...still relying on that same memory.)

* Today, I got six players with less than 1% each, but Winfield blew me up.

I have been doing this since posted, but my scores have been pretty mediocre. Pirates was right up my wheel house. Eight of Nine were less than 1% and Phil Niekro for Blue Jays HOFer was 1%. I even got to use Dave Parker for Reds/Blue Jays and Ralph Kiner for HOFer who hit .300 for . 6 & .7%. .300 for Reds I remembered Cesar Geronimo had a crazy year for the Big Red Machine and he was .1%. Not sure how they calculate the score, but it said 7.1, the percentages added up to 4.4% for the 9 entries.

44 today back to mediocre today.

I think that 44 is pretty good. Anyone other than Carlton fill the Cardinals 300 game winner?

Also, there are 10 Blue Jays HoF players? Man…

I thought of someone other than Carlton who was 12%. I don't want to give away who it is for anyone else still trying today, but there's at least one other choice.

I know of at least 2 guys, both prewar. I think the Mets is what kills you on that one. 3 guys are all pretty well known.
