Immaculate grid

I'm at 88 today. By far my best score. Should have guessed that a lot of people would use
Kevin Kiermaier
for the Blue Jays/Rays crossover.
Kelly Johnson. When he wasn't going back and forth between the Braves and Mets, he played for all five AL East teams.
 
Went 9/9 with a 66 rarity.
There were some really surprisingly low percentages. I used Babe Ruth (don't think I need a spoiler for one that obvious) for the 100+ RBI All-Star column and that helped a ton. He was below 1 percent. Only one of my picks was above 11 percent, and none of them were what you'd consider obscure. I think all of them made an all-star team at some point, or had something people remember about them that stands out.
 
9/9 Rarity 267 -- oof, went a little too chalky on some of the .300+ hitters.
 
What I love about Immaculate Grid is that it punishes recency bias. So an old fork like me, with a mental rolodex filled with otherwise useless baseball knowledge, can do this …

Immaculate Grid 109 9/9:
Rarity: 4
IMMACULATE!
Dude, that's insane
 
Immaculate Grid 1 for football (as opposed to the independent version) dropped today. 7/9.
Same here.
Thank you to the iconic QB Steves -- Bono and DeBerg -- in the 49ers column.

If Reference now has Immaculate Grid for MLB and NFL, you gotta think NBA and NHL will be next, so they can take the share of page hits away from the others, like Crossover Grid, especially since IG has the implementation of the Reference sites.
 
Immaculate Grid 1 for football (as opposed to the independent version) dropped today. 7/9.
I got 9/9, but a not so impressive rarity score of 216. I really shoulda thought longer and harder before settling with
Joe Montana and Deion Sanders
 
I cheated and used BR as much as I could and got a rarity score of 4.
 
Boo. Starting Wednesday, the new grids won't drop until 9 a.m.

That was one my perks of being a night owl -- playing the new grids at midnight.

Although the message on the Reference website did address them expanding to multiple sports (presumably more than MLB and NFL), so there's that.
