    I don’t fool around with these grids anymore. If it wants a Cardinal with 30 stolen bases I’m going Vince Coleman or 100 RBI’s it’s Stan Musial. In fact I try to pick the highest percentage. Too many Jim Palmers with 199 season k’s in my history with this game.

    some days i play this game and walk away thinking i have early onset dementia

    then there are days like today when things appear out of the deep, dark recesses of my mind and i'm like wtf

    take today's donut hole, for example. it was my last square and i refused to blow up my score with Jose Reyes. so i thought about it, and thought about it, and thought about it, and thought about it, and then it finally happened as my brain was starting to ooze from my ears: i recall Lance Johnson going berserk for the Mets one season

    29 and i'll most definitely take it

    You’ve just got to find the guys who check a lot of boxes. Stick with mostly the same names and read about others from the daily summary.

    I don’t really care about the score I get, I’m just happy if I get all 9 correct. You’re really good with the old timers and the newer guys so you make very few mistakes unlike me.

    I got a 131 score but was just glad to get all correct answers. My best was cardinal HOF’er Dizzy Dean at 5%.

    Great tip @Browns1981, I always wonder how you get some of these names from over 100 years ago. lol. So I was just checking this out and I still can't figure how to read about others from the daily summary. When I click on daily summary it just shows my track record, and that won't help anyone. lol TIA

    The safest way to go with WAR is pick a superstar for particular team who's been with particular team a long time.

    Merry Christmas to you and your families. I made some guesses on the 1st bass column. I figured since these guys were infielders they would have played 1st late in their careers. Buddy only spent half a season in Houston at the end.

    My only 1% or less answer today was Ken Brett played for Royals and Red Sox.
    I excel at Royals not so much the other teams.😳

    @Browns1981 when I went to review 2000+ hits for the Angels it shows every player in history with 2000+ hits, and when I went to narrow it down to the Angels it asked to sign up for a paid subscription. Oh well.

    Sometimes they don’t get the filters right on the summary answers, not sure why.
