Immaculate Grid (Now with NBA and NFL nerd options)

love when I can bust out some Dodgers deep cuts CC

 

My only beef with these Saturday puzzles is I have the most time for them, but they're faster to solve than puzzles with more two-team questions, for me at least. Give me these faster ones on Monday morning when my phone is constantly ringing at work.

 

Saturday

 

I used all 9 guesses today unsuccessfully trying to name a Pirates pitcher with 200 strikeouts. New record for futility.

 

200+K almost seems too easy

 

meh

 

Was a rough day, first time I didn’t go 9/9 in a while. The ones I did get were low usage, though.

 

when it comes to the .300 career AVG category I always play it super safe, so many great hitters ended up in the .290s

 

I smile every time I see you play Grandy

 

454 rarity is hard to top while getting 9/9

 

Willie Randolph, my favorite secondbasemen in the Hall of Very Good. 62 career WAR. Of course, I count Lou Whitaker as a Hall of Famer b/c I choose to live in an alternate reality where we don't have a joke of a Baseball Hall of Fame that spends it's time inducting pretenders like Jim Rice and Harold Baines over Whitaker.

 

Using Glavine as your ATL slugger = chef’s kiss

 

I was todays years old when I learned Jadaveon Clowney doesn’t have 50 career sacks in 8+ seasons

 

all my years of Chad Ford mock drafts finally paying off

 

Today I learned Shawn Kemp was a 5 time all star in Seattle and never averaged 20 ppg there.

 

are you a wizard?

 

I was in the zone for rarity and old-timers this morning. Makes up for days where I spend a long time trying to think of great Mets hitters who meet a certain criteria, and never even remember David Wright.
