I actually got 0.2% with Jesse Orosco there.

But I bungled two squares, so my grid is overall a disaster today.

A silly way to blow my grid today, as I forgot that the All-Star Game didn't start until 1933 and Al Simmons wasn't on the A's at that point. Oops!

I got lucky with sim god Mike Norris for .1%!

Half of these grids have the Astros or Tigers as a category. Makes it much easier for me to get the obscure guys. Got a 14 today, with Piazza and Sheffield at 5% a piece being my most common answers. Edit: wonder how many people guessed Joe Morgan for Astros A’s. Figured he’d prob be around 10%

Old KC A’s star Bob Cerv (0.01%) FTW

TIL that Eric Chavez was never an all-star. Gold Glove, yes. Silver Slugger, yes. MVP candidate - 4 times. But zero all-star teams. I find that surprising.

I used Jay Howell for .03%

Morgan was 4% for me wish I could figure out how to post my grids

I screenshot the page, upload it to Imgur, then copy the image link and paste it into that picture icon

Baseball-Reference actually tweeted this out as a hint today. I assume a lot of people guessed him.

TIL what TIL means

Can thank the sim for my .03% Ryan Buchter today, was still 50/50 on remembering if he had been an Angel but would have been up in air otherwise,

Well, I blew today's grid on my first square. Apparently perennial Gold Glove winner Bobby Grich stopped winning them as soon as he got to the Angels. And here I was so excited to drop his name in there. Well after that, I didn't particularly care anymore and just got it done. Congrats to Frank White, I guess.
