Props to @1998ToppsPodcast as they always have to remind me it was Al Pedrique who signed Jose Altuve and not Fred Manrique. We'll forget tomorrow, but great job all around. Also, nice job not using Bobby Bo who played for 66% of the teams
This is always a top listen for me. Love the background on the places, the trivia and the fun stories! I think you guys handle the tragic ones with class as well. Thanks for all the work you put into it!

Throwing it back a bit, Rube Waddell began his career with the Louisville NL club before being sold to Pittsburgh. After his legendary stint with Connie Mack's Athletics, he went to the St. Louis Browns (now Orioles). He was worth 0.6 in the Pit-Bal spot.

This is a fantastic shoutout 🙌 those franchise relocations/name changes make for some really sneaky grid pulls. Love this!
@mattalbertson850619 күн бұрын
@OrdinaryEffort I'm sure I'll have some comments on a future grid that is primarily old clubs where 19th century players come into play. For example, a Phi-Pit block should be filled with Phenomenal Smith or Billy Sunday, the famous evangelist.

This was my worst as well (other than one that had a challenge to use only active players and I could only do 3 of them, but I don't count that the same since it wasn't my normal playthrough for that grid). I got a 323: Fernando Rodney (12), Harper (100), X Ty Wigginton (0.5), Jim Konstanty (3), Dick Allen (9) Sergio Romo (0.2), George Bell (37), Eric Hinske (61) This may be the toughest grid for rarity, as the Nationals franchise has only 1 MVP and the Blue Jays only 2 MVPs and 2 ROYs. I put Harper where I did knowing he'd be 100%, to keep hope alive of getting 9/9. But I ended up guessing Soto for Nats ROY.

Great work! Look forward to maximizing Expos caps on one of your future grids. Several potential answers on this grid would do it and love that Adam dropped Spike Owen in there. Spike gets a bit lower % in the SEA / LAA box, plus he logged a .300 season for them.
