Apparently Immaculate Grid has been purchased by Sports/Baseball Reference.

Not sure if that will have any impact.

I'm useless unless the players involved were pre-1994 strike:

Just found it on Baseball Reference. Very hard to do, but I got five in today's game.

I'm better with the non-expansion (pre 1995) - especially 70s/80s. Today (7/12), I remembered seeing Bobby Bonilla's 1986 Topps card. Messed up by using Ichiro as the Seattle ROY but now can't think of a FL/SEA player....

What's really fun is learning the names of many journeyman players. Guys that played for 12 teams etc. Edwin Jackson etc.

Mark, That grid is great! Love seeing grids filled out with all pre 1980 players. (minus Cone!)

I used Joe Morgan last week for SF/OAK!

It looks like the biggest impact is you can now get a summary of results after you finish which tells you how many possible answers there are for each box and a link to see them in baseball-reference.com. I like having that available

Played for the first time a few minutes ago...not very good - scored 194


Immaculate Grid July 12 score of 194.jpg



Mark- Garvey was pre-1994 and had 200-hit seasons for the Dodgers.

So is it cheating to go to baseball reference and look through teams rosters to find (for example) someone who played for Atlanta and both Pittsburgh and Toronto?

You still have to know what teams the players played for, it' s just jogging the memory banks.

My son says it is, I say it is not.

Due to an incredible amount of Junk Wax that I ripped through during my teenage years, plus my love for baseball history/ootp, I'm often able to come up with some pretty obscure names for the grid. I love this stuff.

50 year old man here: if I see Devil Rays, Diamond Backs, Rockies, Marlins, I just come back and play the next day…

…I was happy with my Hooks Dauss pick for Tiger 20 game winner a week or so ago!

Well, when I just relied on my memory - first day I tried - score was 194.

A wise man uses all resources available to him...*

or as 'Dragline' said in 'Cool Hand Luke', 'In the law, nothing is taken for granted' (at least I think that was the quote...still relying on that same memory.)

* Today, I got six players with less than 1% each, but Winfield blew me up.

I have been doing this since posted, but my scores have been pretty mediocre. Pirates was right up my wheel house. Eight of Nine were less than 1% and Phil Niekro for Blue Jays HOFer was 1%. I even got to use Dave Parker for Reds/Blue Jays and Ralph Kiner for HOFer who hit .300 for . 6 & .7%. .300 for Reds I remembered Cesar Geronimo had a crazy year for the Big Red Machine and he was .1%. Not sure how they calculate the score, but it said 7.1, the percentages added up to 4.4% for the 9 entries.

44 today back to mediocre today.
