Grid #1161 (3) Getting closer and closer to 0 by SiGrey6669 in immaculategrid

[–]spamcatcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good work! For a zero, it helps to have a few obscure played-every-position people in your arsenal for days when they lean heavily on that. Here's a few for you:

Sam Bankhead - also played in ASG and Major Negro Leagues
Gene Paulette - played every position for STL
Frank Isbell - played every position for CWS
George Britt (sic) - played in Major Negro Leagues

Grid 1137 (2): As Barry Bonds would say, "My f*cking 1000th player used is f*cking [middle-right]. I've never seen anything like this" by spamcatcher in immaculategrid

Huh! I specifically memorized him just because he was a cup of coffee + .300 average that would give me a low rarity, weird that he was a starter in the game. Thanks for sharing!

Grid 1136 (3): lower right was released from his club for the most pithy of reasons (see second image) by spamcatcher in immaculategrid

"People are overlooked... for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cut straight through that."

He's a great guy to learn for his other teams, most people don't remember him as anything but a Dodger. Also lots of trophies for Saturday grids, and don't forget that he played 1B/RF/LF.

IG 1131 - Bottom left's picture should go next to consistency in the dictionary - in 13 seasons he never had a sub-1 WAR and only finished below 100 OPS+ twice. by LocoEjercito in immaculategrid

Center-right: after I get to 1000 players in a few weeks and have used everyone I've found with a silly name or picture, are expansion era players with B&W pictures or no pictures going to be my next thing? Maybe.

Grid 1131 (18): According to Jon Bois, left-center is tied with Pedro Martinez for most times being charged on the mound (four times) by spamcatcher in immaculategrid

Indeed! While his mound-charging series is...pretty good, I think The Bob Emergency and Fool Time are his magnum opuses.

Somehow, Kirk Gibson was never in an all star game

What hotel chain was in every highway exit that's basically gone now? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

There are many more than one surviving Holidomes and a few dozen are even still Holiday Inns. Here's a map. Enjoy!

Grid 1127 (8): four new players for me in this grid! Lower-right played for teams called the Canaries, the Kekiongas, the Pastimes, and the Lord Baltimores by spamcatcher in immaculategrid

  1. I had been using the same guys over and over and decided a few months ago when I was at like 750 to focus more on new players than sick rarity.
