I was finally happy to just get a 9/9. I don't typically care about rarity score and try not to use pitchers if I can avoid it (I don't know why).

Rarity 205
Jeremy Giambi, Jason Giambi, Henderson
Papelbon, Ortiz, Ted Williams
Jay Bruce, Griffey Jr, Joe Morgan

Have to watch the dates. Lots of baseball players with similar, or same, names.

I don't care what it does to my rarity score, if I can pick Nolan, I'm picking him. This should be a Texas state law.

Doug Drabek, Clint Barmes, Andrew McCutchen
Ryan, Todd Zeile, Ian Kinsler
Lima Time!, Andres Galarraga, Harold Reynolds


Other observations:

1. If there is any justice in the Universe, Joey Gallo will one day be a candidate for the Rockies-Rangers square. As an every day player in Coors Field, he could be the first 40HR-250 strikeout player in the majors!

2. If you don't know the story of Rickey Henderson's phone call to Harold Reynolds the year Reynolds led the league in stolen bases, look up the video.

Tough grid. Watching all those Braves games on TBS in 1985 paid off though.

The grid did not accept Chris Davis as a legitimate answer to the Baltimore Orioles 200+ K Season square

The 200k's hammered me today. Jim Palmernope. Maxed out at 199 and had several seasons in the 190'sFrank Violanope. Several seasons in the 190s and one over 200, but it was split between two teams and didn't count. Instead of taking the layup 200k pick for the Cards I first went with someone different and whiffed on that one too. Ouch.

8 Hall of Famers and LaTroy Hawkins. It doesn't look like there is a HOFer who played for the Brewers and Orioles.

Zach Greinke, Hank Aaron, Craig Biggio (0.5%)
Duke Snider, Dusty Baker, Roy Campanella
Cesar Cedeno (0.05%), Eddie Mathews, Jeff Bagwell (0.5%)


Six players that have been associated with the Astros in their careers. Still get no damn respect

9/9, 81. Surprised the rarity is so low because I did some but names. Does it it change as more people play?

Altuve, Andruw, Biggio
Kent, Maddux, Henderson
Griffey, Chipper, Bagwell


Edit: my rarity score is down to 74 now

Rarity 5!
By far the best I've ever done.

Decided I was only going to use former Astros and see how far I got. That got me all but one.

Altuve (.4), Hampton (.4), Biggio (.8)
Kent (.4), Wynn (.2), Maddox (2)
Greinke (.09), Lofton (.4), Bagwell (.4)

26 points of my score was Maddux. Thought using a pitcher was clever.

C'mon man, I had a Rarity Score of 13. I did use Penny today.
