The knee jerk for lower left corner was Roberto Clemente but I had to go with The Flying Dutchman

Managed a rarity score of 51 due to my continued use of my old standby Roberto Hernandez. Took a flyer on the .300 average Reds player trying to get a low score and I was required by law to choose the bottom right guy.
Pirates? Reds? I only got 6, but I'm happy with my Hall of Famer who hit .300.
I went with Arky Vaughan for 0.06%. I think it was just me and Joe Posnanski guessing that one.
Dumb question, but do the percentages change during the day based on how many grid players may have selected the same answer or are they preset and remain the same?
How do they come up with the percentage score? I mean, the earlier you start the less of that percentage it should be, right?
For example if Rickey Henderson is a 6% HoF for the Blue Jays what is that 6% based on? Is it based on the times Rickey is being named in today's game? As the day moves along and more people play, shouldn't the percentages drop and fall?

Unless you're one of the first handful it should in theory be fairly consistent. If 6/100 pick the guy then odds are that approximately 60/1000 pick that guy.
Yeah, they don't drastically change, but it's updated as the game goes. You can look through the grids here and see the fluctuations.
In the NHL grid today, anybody know what "games played => 82" means? I just assumed playing greater than 82 games (counting playoffs) in any season, which seems way too easy, but then again none of my guesses that should meet that criteria were deemed correct.
Day three for me. I'm 8 for 8 and wracking my brain over the center square with a total of 77.4 so far.
I thought my picks were pretty good today, but I guess Sid Bream is too common of a Brave/Pirate for a good rarity score.
this game has showed me that i do not remember a fuckin thing about the NL Central and any of the no name garbage teams that reside there.
Anybody else keep confusing the Guardians and Cubs logos or am I the only idiot? Have done it across multiple games.

The only real head scratcher was the lower right corner. I remembered that, while great, Bon Gibson did not win 300 games. I had to activate the way-back portion of my brain.

I actually like the Guardians "C" because it's way more distinctive than the "Block C" they used as the Indians that could be confused for any team from a C city. I just don't understand how in the world the ugly "Winged G" ever got approved or why they even use two letter logos instead of coming up with a cartoon/tiki version of the Guardian of Traffic.
Actually, I'm surprised that the middle right percentage isn't much higher. Lower right seems to be creeping up. I think my RS may be 10 pts. higher by end of the day. You have great gets @Deweys New Stance! Your score may get lowered.
@Curt S Loew. I am so ashamed
@SoxJox, can you show me how to activate the way-back portion of my brain. But Bon Gibson?

I even looked Sam up recently. Just to see what other teams he played on. I do remember him with the O's but couldn't remember if he played anywhere else. All do is remember and use him.
7/9 today. Posting my grid for a bunch of familiar faces. Ruined my chances at finishing the grid when I got so excited to play Scott Cooper that I initially played him in the wrong spot and I saw Mets+pitching and put Pedro, even though I knew he didn't get 300 wins
I mistook the Braves for the Angels on one awhile back. At least those are both red, though.
DAMN, I whiffed on that one. The team combos were tough for me today.
Edited to say that I got that particular team combo and thought I did fairly well at 6%, but @Curt S Loew played it extremely well.

9/9 with a score of 80. I'm always surprised that more people don't answer the bad/forgotten return on infamously terrible trades (middle square).
Definitely
I got my KC/CLE one because of collecting cards.
Kevin Seitzer, FTW!
9/9 - Rarity score 216 - I mostly came up with popular answers - except for Melvin Mora and former NYM Warren Spahn
