Anyone playing Immaculate Grid daily?

Well, I had a choice of quoting Britney Spears or Ian Fleming:


Instead of 'Opps! I did it again.', I'll go with 'Never Say Never (again)'

Time to 'fess up though. Are you solving these strictly by memory, or looking players up? If by memory, that's quite impressive.

The lowest I've been able to get is 28.

I recycle Gaylord Perry and Edwin Jackson a lot because people forget about them but they've played for so many teams.

I do well until the post 1976 teams come into play, especially in the AL.

MY memory??!! Heck no!

I'm using all available resources...though my 'major carpet ride' ended today...with a 109.

I can do well when they use the Pirates, otherwise I am pretty mediocre. Yesterday I was able to use Warren Spahn, Orlando Cepeda and Vada Pinson and they all scored low. My system is to try and use collecting 60s and 70s Topps baseball cards to fill out the brackets.

Well, on this one, only Jon Rauch came from memory...but feel free to use the results of my research:

I don't understand how 3,430 entries could score 2 or less. 200 Hits in a season by a Brewer had only four choices: Yount (40%), Molitor, Braun (31%) and the one I chose, Cecil Cooper (3%).


My score was a 7 - 200 hits by a Blue Jay was also rare...I chose Shannon Steward (3%) over Tony Fernandez or Vernon Wells...Olerud (38%) or Molitor were the only remaining options.


I did get three good ones from memory only: 100 RBI seasons for Hal Trosky, Del Ennis and Steve Garvey

Are you talking about the 0 to 9 score that is shown on the Summary page? I think that is how many correct answers people get and not what their score based on percentages is.

This was mine from memory. I got 7 of 9 below 1%. I was able to use my favorite player and two of the most famous baseball cards for the 100 RBIs.
