Immaculate Grid: Show Off Your Useless Baseball Depth Knowledge!

[StMic]

Haven't posted in a while but today's was kind of a special one.

For played catcher 1 game/1 team I used Bill Mills who was born in Boston and graduated from Holy Cross. He played in just 5 games in 1944 with the A's.
He was also my 7th grade math teacher!

Played for Providence in the New England League in the late 40's.

Ooof! I was one guess away from my first RS of 0, but ended up with my first 100 instead.

An opportunity to remember two Red Sox catchers of my youth: Andy Merchant and Roger LaFrancois (he of the .400 lifetime batting average). If I remember correctly, the latter was on the roster for all or most of the 1982 season and Houk found him 10 plate appearances.

Interesting to note that when they have the 1st round draft pick category, the player need not sign as a 1st rounder. I read the little info box which didn't exclude that, but I still didn't expect it to actually accept Tommy Hinzo as an answer, since he was 1st round draft pick three different times (back when there was both a regular and secondary phase draft each year). He didn't actually sign with a team until he was a 7th round pick, but sure enough, he works.

I was able to pull off a 0 today, with 9 sox.

If it wasn't for me, you would have gotten an even better score on Everett Scott.

Love my Red Sox grid today with a great center piece.

I say this without any snark, bless all of you who still have sharp memories!

I love these Saturday ones now that the East-West game counts as an All Star Game. But I'm kicking myself for going for Mookie instead of Rice. I'm sure he would have gotten me a 4 instead of the 5 I got for this one.

Managed to slip all my answers under 1% for a rarity score of 3.

Weekly Red Sox special

9/9.
RS: 1

This is probably the best I've ever done. Although I had to settle for 8/9 Clevelanders, because after using Boudreau for my 2B/C answer, I couldn't come up with another one for SS/C. Of course, as I type this, I realize I've forgotten about the negro leagues again and Quincy Trouppe technically was a Cleveland player and fits the category.

I've been waiting a long time to use The Rabbi of Swat.

I like the Saturday ones where you can use nine Hall of Famers and still get a rarity score of 4.
