Immaculate grid

Perfect grid, score of 71 for baseball. I can thank Bill (Spaceman) Lee’s first biography for getting the Red Sox/Giants and Red Sox/Reds guys.

Red Sox and no expansion teams!

Spoiler

 

I think I have picked Gaylord Perry 12 times already

 

Right? Him and Bobby Bonds are in regular rotation for me.

 

Throwing a big curveball Saturday with no teams and just categories in the MLB grid.

 

Didn't care for that one as much as the other.

 

57 today, my lowest rarity score!

 

At first glance, it seems easier, but I don't pay all that much attention to Silver Slugger awards.

 

I don't always go for the low one, but I did today because it seemed easier without any team boxes. Got a 47. One of my go-to guys got me a two percent on 500+ homers and Gold Glove and I had three below one percent. I'm still surprised how rarely people use some of the all-time greatest players.

 

Babe Ruth is a surprisingly good go-to for quizzes like today's because he checks the box on so many offensive categories and the quiz definitely has a recency bias. Seems like most of the boxes I put him in, he's at less than 10 percent.

 

I was slapping my forehead over the blank I got on today's grid, because I entered a Hall-of-Famer whom I was sure was a top offensive player at this position, but I didn't realize they started giving out Silver Sluggers in 1980, and the player's best offensive seasons were in the '70s.
