Cool game to play to test your baseball knowledge

I really struggled filling the Silver Slugger/HoF box because I tried to use a pitcher. Can't believe there only is one. Also would have helped to know that SS only started in 1980. Makes my guess of Drysdale look monumentally stupid.

Phil Garner managed both Brewers and Tigers but that don’t count. Furious with myself and only people on this thread understand.

I did ok today...Nice job! I could have used you for that Patriots/Broncos square. You came up with a gem there. All I could think of for the longest time was the obvious Wes Welker pick. I almost gave up, but it was the last square I needed, and eventually I tried one that worked.

You know, I’m terrible with the Pittsburgh Pirates except late 80s where they had a stud team. For the All-Star, I tried Doug Drabek first. Apparently he never made it! Not even the year he won 22 games and the Cy Young. 🤔 So, I tried Smiley next.

I was going to pick Parker for AS, and then I realized Dave played for the Brew-Crew and appeared in the 90 ASG at Wrigley so that's when I picked Willie....
These Grids will make you go Insane...

That’s sure the truth. I don’t know if these will get old, but when I wake up every morning, I look forward to seeing how they look once I get my coffee. 😂

Hockey today. Who the heck played for the Jets/Thrashers and Predators? My brain is exhausted. I got nothing.
Football. Stumped on 3 of them. I threw in the flag here too.
Baseball. Better. 🙂

If it's heavy on the AL then I'm not doing well. Today I did exceptionally bad.

Today I did exceptionally bad.I picked Dave Stieb Jays on the 200+K's and Jim Hunter 200+K's/20+Wins; I'm not even going to go there with Bump Wills- I was close with the 79... I was pretty much lost on today's footballer grid with Jaguars & Texans...

no time for any Grid-Action for me today....

I did really well today. Wasn't going to pick the obvious answer with Carew, but just couldn't come up with an obscure ROY for the Twins. I figured there were some Washington players that would qualify, and was pretty sure there was a Twin in the 90s besides Chuck, but couldn't come up with the name.

If I did, would have set a personal score record with this grid. John, if you are out there, I’m sorry. Your accomplishments are remembered even if your name is not.

a so-so day for Gridin'...Nice Chargers/Packers pick. I'm a Chargers fan, and I really struggled with that one. Your pick is before my time. 🙂 Eventually, I thought of Jim McMahon.
I did all right today.

I was on my way to immaculate on hockey until I entered my 2nd last pick into the wrong box. 🫠

Today's baseball was way too easy. Score was 203....I don't really know how low you can go with the catogories.

Only one of these I've ever finished. My rarity score sucked.

That was the easiest one ever, but yes, tough to get rare ones, except in the middle.

I was stuck. Then I was browsing eBay and saw a leaders card from the 1960s. First Red Sox player I saw. Looked him up.

Pretty cool game. It's also an indirect age test!

My personal best score today. I’m personally advantaged when the recent expansion teams aren’t included.

Not a bad day with the grids for me today.
Hockey:
Football:
Baseball:
Almost had my first day completing all 3 grids, and then I tried Billy Brewer as a Milwaukee Brewer... nope! 😭

So I'm curious. On the PCGS forum there is some discussion of a registry "lowball" set, that is a set of the lowest possible graded coins. It wouldn't work here because there is no concept of "circulated" cards, which is to say that if you wanted to take one of today's Topps Now cards and bend it in half, you could get a straight up four, but in the coin world damaged coins can't be graded, so it is much more of a challenge to find coins with "honest" wear.
A possibility here is to play the game but try to get the most (not least) common players. Not sure it would be as much of a challenge, but it would certainly still be a challenge and might be interesting.

This is a fun game, just started playing a few days ago. Not sure what points matter but I’m having fun thinking of more out there players.

Tough Griddin' Today....

I got screwed on the 20 wins, didn’t realize it had to be with that team but that’s my mistake. Tried Steve Carlton but he didn’t do it with them, and tried Mark Bueherle but somehow he never won 20 games (best was 19).
