Same! I only really know him from The Meme so I just chuckled his name into BRef hoping to get lucky. It was smy last square because I know Jack poo poo about the other team for the most part.

E: when I say "the other team" I mean the one I actually knew him from, not the Jays. Spoilers are weird.

I am stunned that Mune got 4% for Cubs/Jays, I thought that would be a sub 1%er.

Remember that they just have to have played for that team at some point. I can think of three for the Rangers off the top of my head.

Almost hit immaculate today but realized too late that I used the only DBack/Met I could think of in another square.

There's only three choices for the DBacks, and luckily I picked the rarest one

I used Scherzer in Arizona 3K strikeouts and Beltran in Yankees/Rangers and now I have no idea who to use for Rangers/Mets

e: nvm I'm dumb, the same person I'm trying to avoid for Rangers 3K strikeouts

on the other hand, since I've already used Scherzer for 3K DBacks strikeouts if I use Nolan then I have no idea who I'll use for Rangers 3K

There are a lot more twenty game winners for the reds and Pirates than I thought there were. And discovering the Reds all time leader in pitching bWAR is a guy named Noodles Hahn was an unexpected delight this morning.

I whiffed 200 hits w/ 40 HR using Teddy Ballgame, and also it's messed up you can't just search Teddy Ballgame and have Teddy Ballgame show up, but I'm 99% sure Cleavland has never had a ROY and if they did it retroactively is who cares what a messed up square to make me go 8/9

There's a semi famous Cleveland ROY answer. Injuries wrecked him and he famously has the fewest career games out of all the ROYs.

Personal favorite rear end-pull on this one was Albert Belle. Even though Denatd Span was one of my favorite guys for a while, I can't claim him as I cheesed it with the Multiple Franchise Finder.

Hell yeah. Any non Griffey/Arod/Edgar picks are cool.

Honestly the Bedard/Sherrill combo is a way craftier pull from a non-M's fan. Hell, I forgot Bedard went through Houston towards the end.

I had the wrong Milwaukee team in my head for MIL/ANA and so I hosed up entirely, and left the one I knew I wouldn't get. Anywho:

6/9 most popular answers for a flat 300 score.

I probably would have had something more similar to Intruder's if I'd have thought for like more than a minute, especially for the LA and ATL lines.

Lol the one team category applies to active players which makes it incredibly trivial. Just pick a player still in arb years

Good news the grid is going all in on them today

40 doubles in a season? gently caress right off

And who the hell keeps track of runs outside of fantasy baseball?

A fun challenge would be to try to create a full grid where none of the players are wearing the hat for the teams that intersect

I know nowhere near enough about baseball history to pull that off though

It'd probably be used for the players at the end of their careers who are never associated with the team like Babe Ruth on the Braves or Mike Piazza on the Padres
