I suspect he played it right at 9am. I've played it at exactly 9 and gotten crazy % that adjust during the day.
I'm not sure how his answers displayed that way. I've never seen 0%. A correct answer has to have a percentage since you've given that answer yourself. If it's less than 1%, it will give it to the tenth or hundredth of a percent (at least one of the games will display to the thousandth). If he had a 22, there's something else going on though, because if those were all less than 1% his score couldn't be higher than 9. For starters, I also had David Howard, so that wasn't 0% even aside from his own answer.
I missed it, too. There were over 500 players who played their whole career with the A's and TWO had over 10 career WAR. The team has regularly moved on from their good players for their entire existence.
It's funny, I was coming here to post the same thing. Usually with old franchises there are plenty of well known players who meet the One Team criteria. But the Athletics have always been a transient franchise with transient players; pretty much all of their old stars from the first half of the 20th century were traded or sold, and that just continued from the Charlie Finley era to the current day. I finally came up with track star and pinch running specialist Herb Washington.
The only candidate from the A's heyday of the 70s was a mainstay, and should have won the '74 WS MVP for his incredible defense. Only problem was,
I got it right. Are you sure you put him in the correct box? I know I've made that mistake in the past, especially with players associated with the Sox when the Sox logo is on the board.
I had the same guy in that box. My best was
I think it’s because by the time he played for them, the Negro League was considered a “minor” league. It looks like after 1948 they went to minor league status.
Gotcha. That makes complete sense, thanks. I was thinking that I had a very clever answer.
