I got 7/9 on the MLB one today, I mistook the star for Mr. Burns softball team for Vince Coleman.….ugh.

I also got my first guy under 1% today.

8/9. 259.

settled for some obvious picks. and the middle square I just stared into a deep black void and gave up any chance of it.

Really shocked that Jose Canseco is less than 1 percent figured he was more remembered.

Biffed it completely on Seattle rookie of the year lmao

7/9 326 because after that I was experimenting on whether or not the 100+ RBI seasons counted when the player played for a different team.

I had a Mandela Effect situation with Seattle ROY. I knew one but used that player elsewhere on the grid because I was so sure of the one I was shocked I had misremembered.

I actually got Kazuhiro Sasaki for that one because I remembered it because of the more famous guy who won the next year.

I got 9/9 today on the NBA Crossover Grid. The 55% FG percentage shot up the rarity but I wasn't confident not going with the big guys.

Finally got 9/9 for baseball. 100 score, and one answer made up almost half that score.

I also got a rarity score of 100, and I tested out another theory of mine with the 500 HR category. The players you choose can go all the way back even to different cities as long as that's the franchise history.

8/9, 179.

the Rockies continue to be my baseball blind spot. I’m gonna just spend my evening tonight memorizing the history of the Rockies organization.

This game did have three of the reliable “they played for so many teams, there’s a good chance it was these two” players.

One is a HOF, the other a journeyman and the other in the hall of pretty good. Henderson, Stairs and Sheffield

Also, my Tigers fandom helped me get a 0.2% pick.

I knew Thurmond was gonna bump my score up but it’s pretty much him or Wilt for that one without looking it up.

9/9 96, for whatever reason I struggle badly to think of pitchers or this would be much easier

I actually got 7/9 on the baseball one today, although embarrassingly it was the two Reds boxes that stumped me.

I dont really care about my score on the baseball one, I’m just happy to be able to fill most of the boxes. I dont remember Scott Rolen in Toronto at all. But I should have remembered Mariano Duncan.

man I was debating multiple names for the reds/bjs one that I was floored there were only 80 something answers while I could only think of a small number of braves/rats, yet the latter combo had like 280 options!

9/9, 57!

Sub 1% scores for Zane Smith (Braves/Pirates), Max Carey (Pirates/HOF), Ernie Lombardi (Reds/.300) and Bill Terry (HOF/.300). Took advantage of those categories where I could pick an obvious but older player.

I looked through that list of Reds/Blue Jays and I think there are two of them where I could say with 100% certainty that they played for both teams.

9/9 154. I was just too big of a coward on the .300 hitters because I haven’t got a 9/9 in baseball yet!

9/9 155. The lack of options in the far right row brought the score up higher.

9/9 156. A few lucky guesses thrown in there at the end.

Got 8/9 in Puckdoku, which is better than usual. Probably could have gotten 9/9 but I tried to get cute using a player on one square when I should have saved him for another one.

Got a little lazy with the Duke row but otherwise happy with my score.

Once I saw Kansas City on the baseball one I knew I was screwed. I think I only got two boxes filled before I just gave up

I was totally stumped on the last one and pretty much had no choice but to use Beal knowing it would kill my score.
