My 0.1% player has rallied to 0.2%.

Spoiler

Jay Johnstone.

I picked him too.

I thought NFL would be easy, but it broke my spirit. They also threw a college team in there, one renowned for RBs and LBs, and my recall beyond the basics was nil.

You forget until you do one of these things that most NFL players spend time with one or two teams.

Kickers and punters tend to bounce around, so they could help some days. It isn't helping me today. I've got six boxes, but the Seahawks part of it has me stumped.

Edit: Player for the Browns and the Seahawks just hit me. I can't believe I almost missed that one.

175 rarity score with two 1%era and a .3%. Cheated on one of them.

 

[Twirling Time]

"Name anybody who played for both the Mets and Cardinals" sounds easy. But it's like picking 52.4% of NFL winners. Not nearly as easy as it seems.

That's an easy one. Excuse me, I need to spit a second time.

9/9

[Batman]

Went 9/9 today, with a rarity score of 132. Looks like today was an easy one, though. A lot of the difficulty was guessing which obvious answer fewer people picked for the 40+ homer boxes.

 

[Bubbler]

Trying to find the less obvious answer is the death knell for me today. Stupid lack of Cardinals obscure 40-HR hitters.

I found my recall of post-80s Tigers and any Rockies players beyond the basics is null and void. Obscurantist knowledge of relief pitchers and bench players is completely missing for me and the Rockies, which kills you in this exercise. Much of a muchness for both clubs over those years.

 

[nietsroob17]

9/9 with a rarity of 79. Admittedly helped by the Braves being one of the columns.

.006% for Braves/Cardinals

Spoiler

Thank you, Ramon Caraballo.

 

[Slacker]

0.05% today for Braves-Yankees, and a good trivia question.

Spoiler

Jim Bouton.

 

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

I also went old-school for one player out of lifelong respect and admiration.

Spoiler

Sandy Koufax.

Gonna do that often, too. Game seems even more fun when you can reach back decades for some slots.

Yeah, I'll often resist posting the first one I thought of in hopes I can eventually remember a more obscure player from my misspent youth. It gets harder when a 1990s expansion team is involved.

Definitely. I flamed out today.

 

[Tighthead]

I had a column in the hockey one today with a cumulative 1.2 %. Helps that it was my team.
