Or if you confuse the Reds logo for the Indians logo?
Looks like baseball-reference is affiliated now and was upgraded. I also think this might be a younger man's game as my 80s players seem to have a small percentage of guesses

Small % is what you want, no? I assumed a lower score was better because its more unique.

Yes. It’s sorta like SwampCrash. The number at the end is the sum of the percentages of your responses. Wrong responses are a 100 point penalty.

Some of us just want right answers...but yes, getting unique answers is fun. Pretty proud of my 0.1 percent Gary Pettis answer the other day.

I dropped a Pat Listach on the Brewers' 30-steal name over the weekend and was proud of that result.

i think i got a personal low with 0.04% in Tom Burgmeier (Twins/Boston) yesterday - guy's 1976 Twins card just popped into my head. Which is a little weird.

It must skew heavily towards younger players of the game? Eckersley (Cubs/Red Sox) was only 1% which i was surprised at.

Also interesting to find out how spotty my knowledge is in different timeframes - i have this relatively giant blank from ~2006-2015. I'm sure it has nothing to do with having 2 small kids at the time.

That range, give or take, is when I only know the Yankees and the NL because I was in an NL only fantasy league. Since the minor league draft was so important there, I have pretty solid knowledge of guys + drafting team, but was burned on a prospect who didn't debut with their original team yesterday (Murton w/ Boston) and almost again today (Singleton w/ Phillies).

Went 19th Century today.

After playing this for about a week, I realized my weakest area is the Class of 1969 teams (KC, SD, MIL, MTL/WAS).

SC was on at the bar yesterday and they did a whole segment filling out a grid with whoever it was who was on. ESPY day is a slow news day, I guess.

162 Uniqueness

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Wed Jul 19, 2023 7:12 am

There's going to be a lot of gimme answers today, but my score today is 28.

[+] spoiler: Jose Canseco (2%) / Ben Grieve (1%) / Carl Crawford (8%)
Paul Molitor (12%) /Don Baylor (0.8%) / Ron Coomer (0.5%)
George Bell (8%) / Al Simmons (0.4%) / Willie McCovey (0.1%)

I love this game. It's a daily dose of Remembering Some Guys.

Could not for the life of me get the middle square. Boo.

180 total.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Wed Jul 19, 2023 7:50 am

Wild that the high score for the bottom right answer is 10% (at least when I did it) when there are almost 500 possible answers.

I got a list of NFL players in my dropdown.

Got my first grid and a 61.

Brontoburglar · Post by **Brontoburglar** » Wed Jul 19, 2023 1:47 pm

my strategy in this is very swampcrashesque. rather go safe and big percentage than small percentage and risk a wrong answer

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Jul 19, 2023 1:48 pm

I can't stop thinking of an answer then trying to be more clever and missing. Like is B-Ref suuure Profar never played for Tampa? Really?

6/6 on guesses this morning, followed by 0/3.

I hate these games because while I always knew I was a dummy, I know for a fact now I'm dumber than I thought.

OK, reading the rules would've maybe made me feel a little less dumb. I thought the boxes were a player who achieved that stat for both teams.

Tried the football one that only goes back to 1999 and did OK on that one (7 out of 9).

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:01 am

Ugh. I missed the Phillies-Blue Jays square because I was convinced the late David West started in Toronto. (It was Minnesota.)

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Tue Jul 25, 2023 8:24 am

I'm better at the statistics squares when there are 5 possible answers than the team-to-team ones where there are 200

Today I learned several great players did not have 200 hits in a season. Almost got yesterday's but who the hell knows people who played for the Mariners and Rays.

I got a 9/9 86 today and that includes a 70 on one guy.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Thu Aug 03, 2023 9:32 am

I can usually get 4-5 fairly easily, even with some deep dives (I had 3 on percetners today) but I somehow blanked on the top left corner. 8/9

[+] spoiler: Corner was Guardians/Giants

I just got the greatest answer of alltime. After I get my 3 or 4 answers correct, I type in a random name and click down the line until I'm out of guesses to see the correct answer. ROY with a +.300 batting average. My answer had .003%. Not sure if this is too big of a clue, but he won as an AL pitcher, and batted .500 9 years later, with 1 hit in two ABs.

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Fri Aug 04, 2023 3:22 pm

I'm starting to get a little better suited for this. I try to start with the stats line(s) first, because those seem easier to pull out some random guy. Today I did a finger snap when I came up with my final slot in the top right (SD/WAS) with

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Sat Aug 05, 2023 12:15 pm

All stats today and only ended up with 43, primarily due to the 20 in the Marcia slot. Only one <1:
