I went with Isaiah Thomas in that square. He is sort of a cheat code, played for lots of teams recently. I was most happy with my King/T-Wolf........went with K-Mart 2.0, Kevin Martin, I recalled him having 20ppg games for both teams and allllmooostt used him on that square, which would have sunk me because I couldn't think of anyone else that played for those two teams.


Immaculate Grid (Men's) 58 9/9:
Rarity: 280
IMMACULATE!

Today was feast and famine. I had 4 very clever guesses of 8% rarity or better, and the other 5 were 41%-67%ers, so like the most common choice for each grid square. The Pelicans, especially, are tough for me.

I finally tried it. I was defeated.

Immaculate Grid - 1.
Snackmaster - 0.

I tried the NBA one first, but I couldn't think of any Bucks/Heat nor Bucks/Hornets players.

Since I play fantasy football, I tried the NFL one, but I could only finish one column. Cannot come up with any Titans/Packer players.

Baseball is the hardest for me, although I can do very well when the grid is mostly "guys who hit .300 and had 30 stolen bases in the same season, or guys who hit .300 and had 3,000+ hits for their career, etc. Not very good at finding "guys who played for both teams."

Sometimes I do really well in football, other times my mind goes completely blank. It really depends on the teams. AFC North and NFC East teams are strengths. Outside of very famous players and quarterbacks, I tend to blank outside of those divisions.

Rarity: 240


Was having a good day until the final square. Literally talked myself out of two correct choices and into a throw-away based on remembering a jersey color. Oh well!

Wretched day, just horrible. When I did think of someone, so did everyone else and

Spoiler
I could have sworn Dale Ellis was a Buck.......but it was the freaking Sonics jersey I was thinking of on him. Also could have sworn that Vinsanity had a stint with Boston, but nope, not this time.


I need one more for an Immaculate grid in football though, so hope is still alive

I found out you can go back and play the archives, so I haven't done this in a while. I'm just doing 1 a day now.

Yeah, I try to include the game number in my posts, so direct comparisons can be made (normally to my detriment!)

Side note, but my uncle and cousin are amazing at the baseball version. An immaculate grid can be assured, my uncle's rarity score today was 14, only two players had a rarity above 1%, his highest was 5%, lowest 0.01%.

If they had game shows about baseball players, not pop music, those two could win it all.

I could have sworn "Action" Bobby Jackson played for the Mavs at one point, but he did not
