Cool game to play to test your baseball knowledge

I hate these ones where I can look at it and immediately see one row that’s going to ruin my score no matter what.

Score 10. I was worried when Terry Puhl got 3% but it all worked out ok.

This was a fun one, score 3. Took about 2 minutes to do. McGraner is my great uncle if you recall.

Don’t you have a better picture of him? Baseball reference needs it if you do. 😂
Sorry just kidding that’s a pretty fuzzy picture.

Nope, grandpa and grandma are both gone and there don’t seem to be any other pictures of him unless they went to extended family.

I was cleaning up but saved the Blue Jays column for last which ruined my score

This was a fun one that somehow is only a score 4

The only reason I know about Sixto Sanchez is because when I was buying card packs a few years back I’d always pull his insert cards and he’s a total bum.

Score 3, had to think about a few of these because Brewers and Padres are serious weak spots. Tomorrow is grid #500, looking forward to what they put out.

Score 6, great day considering it has all those newer teams.

Score 12, figured I’d get destroyed with the Marlins HOF since there’s nobody in it but I guess I picked right.

Someone has to explain how my score is only 4 when my highest guy is 0.9? I don’t get it

I don’t recall exactly, but there are two main factors.

1. How uncommon a selection is. This is the percentage of 0.9% you mention showing how few people knew, or thought of a particular player for their grid.
2. How rare the “thing” is. I don’t remember what they call the categories, but how innocuous they might be plays a part. In the grid you are questioning, for example, “pitched a game” isn’t very uncommon, so it’s not a rare or arcane category.

The problem with immaculate grid is that you’re competing against robots. I wouldn’t worry much about the score.

I found out that they literally just add your percentages together. I thought there was more to it but it really is that easy.

I guess that makes sense. Good info.

I did the no hitter column first and had a few mistakes
