I like that Darrell Evans pick a lot. And any day you can use an Alou brother is a good day.9/9 rarity score 122. I picked Jim Edmonds for 40+ HR season for STL because of steroids for McGuire and allied steroids for Puljos. I gave a thought to going with Rogers Hornsby. I went for Roger Maris for 40+ HR for NYY just for nostalgic purposes. I flipped a coin for Jason Giambi vs Joe Girardi for COL-NYY.
Haha, this is by design. Closest they've got to a spoiler tag. Don't think I'm going to put them as violence (despite murdering the game daily) or nudity (even though today asks for lots of dongs) since that's also my work professional account.@Brand Name I have gotten a chuckle seeing your results on the bird. I guess that you have spoiled them, but it shows up 'sensitive' content. See:

I was considering8/9. I would have sworn Stan Musial had a 40 homer season.
Outside of the Red Sox, I have always been an Atlanta fan.I like that Darrell Evans pick a lot. And any day you can use an Alou brother is a good day.
NOPE, and I know this from firsthand experience. I also thought thatBTW, wouldhave counted for ATL/DET?Smoltz
I couldn't get top left either, but looks like we're not alone:I was surprised that Mantle was at 5% rarity. I find the Rockies categories exceedingly difficult and have yet to even get close to a 9/9. I got my first seven correct today, but petered out in the top left of the grid.
Mantle there might be one of those picks that everyone thinks will be a popular one and thus choose someone else, and the result is hardly anyone picks him. On the other hand, the AL HR record has been held by one of three Yankees for the last century, so it wouldn't shock me if those three were the dominant picks, especially for folks more concerned with going 9 for 9 than getting a low rarity score.I was surprised that Mantle was at 5% rarity.

It is super fascinating which players are the No. 1 choice each day. I think you have to take into account that mainly baseball nerds are doing this, so the knowledge base is high and the results will be skewed. I like the idea of trying to get all nine No. 1 choices. That would be hard.Mantle there might be one of those picks that everyone thinks will be a popular one and thus choose someone else, and the result is hardly anyone picks him.

The more I've played with this, the more I'm most intrigued by some of the most common answers. Even though there are obvious, no-brainer choices for most squares, there seems to always be one per day that makes say "that guy is the most common answer?" I think I might try to go for a max rarity score by getting all 9 #1 choices, just to mix it up. I mean, there's no competing with Jess going for obscurity, might as well go in the complete opposite direction.
Me too!8/9. I would have sworn Stan Musial had a 40 homer season.
No. But I used who he was traded for and got 7% on that. Rogers Hornsby got me a 0.1% for Braves/Cards though Bob Horner would have been a good one too.have counted for ATL/DET?
This guy is really annoyed right nowTurns out I’ve tuned out the Detroit Tigers for most of my life. I got a good rarity score (55) but wore out the Internet cheating to find Tigers players who also played for the Rockies and Braves.
My pick ofI’m amused that for the bottom right, my pick ofwas only 3% butLou Gehrigwould have been 5%. Recency bias, indeed.Curtis Granderson
Edwin Jackson had 14.The MVP of this shit is Octavio Dotel because he played on 13 different teams. When in doubt, punch him in.
Brilliant work on the bottom right. I’m jealous I didn’t think of it.7/9,
Rarity score 300
I forgot Russell Martin's name. But remembered Francisco Cervelli's. I was thinking of Brandon Belt for Tor/Giants. But worse is that Doyle Alexander fit there too. I use Doyle a lot.

Willie says "Hey", not "Cheese".why the fuck doesn't Willie Mays have a picture lmao
Like minds on bottom right. Percentage doesn't surprise me due to the circumstances. First guy I thought of, though.7/9,

I've used him a few times. I like this one because I'm pretty sure he's the only one with 20 wins with the MVP as a reliever.Recently I saw a gris square about 40 saves. That made me think of Eck. That is why I locked on to him qwuickly

AJ Burnett got me a low score in that category.But if I'm being honest I probably would have struggled to come up with a Pirate/Jay (did not remember Joey Bats was a Buc).
I thought of him but I assumed the square had to be filled by someone who won 20 games the same year they won the MVP. Obviously not the case if Eck counts.I've used him a few times. I like this one because I'm pretty sure he's the only one with 20 wins with the MVP as a reliever.
