Default Immaculate Grid (Baseball trivia)

I feel like there is a decent portion of horse racing fans who are also baseball fans. Both have a lot of nostalgic appeal.

There is a game out called Immaculate Grid that gives you two teams, or a team and a career/season accomplishment (Cy Young winner, 200+ hits, etc.), and you’ve got to figure out players who fit both requirements.

If you haven’t seen it and like puzzles, you might like it. I’ve been having fun with remembering obscure players that I had totally forgotten.

A horse racing version of this would be pretty cool.

Hard as hell! I got 3 Silver Sluggers (Jeter, Griffey, Stanton), but only 2 players..

Funniest was the Yankee/Phillie I came up with.... Jay Johnstone (0.2%)

6 is pretty good. I range anywhere from about 4 to 8. I’ve gotten all 9 once but I’ve been playing for a couple weeks now.

Kind of lucked out today with the grid. Grew up in a Phillies fan in South Jersey, living in Seattle area now.
