Immaculate grid

They're getting easier since being sold. Not that my dumb ass remembers enough baseball to go immaculate, but I can still tell.
 
Immaculate Grid 103 9/9:
Rarity: 76
IMMACULATE!

Helped having the Blue Jays as part of it.
 
Blue Jays-Reds was the hardest part for me, then I remembered who hit the home run in the 1997 ALCS against Armando forking Benitez and it clicked. Not that I'm still bitter about that or anything.

I went with one of the biggest flops of the 80s Yankees.

Also...can't believe I haven't been able to use Al Oliver yet! The dude played for a lot of teams.
 
Reds-Blue Jays was the toughest for me today, too. Eventually remembered a current Red who played for the Jays. Got all nine with a 39 rarity.
 
The question is, which is more important — the rarity score or being immaculate. Because trying for the lowest rarity score what gets you in trouble

I try to do things like not taking the easiest choice for a season batting .300 for the Reds or a Hall of Famer who once batted .300, but I don't get too cute with it. If you can think of an old-timer, that helps. My Hall of Famer who batted .300 for a season played his last game in 1917. I got 1 percent for that box.

It helps if the team you grew up watching is on the grid. I haven't followed them closely in a long time, but I watched a heck of a lot of Pirates baseball from the late '70s, through the mid-'90s.

It absolutely gets you in trouble, but it's part of the fun. I'd rather get 8/9 with a 108 than 9/9 with a 108.

Speaking of which, I did today's again to try to beat my rarity score. Was rolling, but typed in
Kal Daniels
and got hosed on the minimum PA threshold. Not sure how that's possible when he had 430 PA in one of the years he hit .300+.
