Moises Alou playing 2 games for the Pirates in 1990 has helped me get SO many low % boxes by using him.

I missed Giants/Royals after burning Reggie Sanders on Reds/Royals. Apparently only 54% got that square.

Boy, the ads are ruining this game for me since sports reference took over.

Yes, on my mobile browser the page gets filled with the sports reference ads that take up the whole border and expand and contract. they refill as soon as I hit the tiny X in the corner. it's very distracting

I pretty consistently get 9/9, it's just a matter of getting my picks obscure enough to get my rarity score under 100. I've played A LOT of Fantasy Baseball over the last 20 years, so those deep cuts help a lot.

A lot of Todd Zeile, Fernando Rodney, Kenny Lofton, Moises Alou, and Rickey Henderson usage.

I've used Kenny Lofton fairly frequently. My last ditch effort is always Edwin Jackson or Octavio Dotel, though my success rate is below 50% on them

Oh Yeah, a lot of Octavio Dotel usage, because he also checks the "former NY Met" box for me.

The funny thing about Lorenzen is, yesterday I saw a clip of him doing something in relief, and made a mental note that I'd use him next time CIN/DET came up, haha.

7/9. Shoulda been 6/9. I lucked out on the Padres/DBacks guess I was thinking of his time with the Giants (not the Padres) early in his career and lucked into it.

I also accidentally used a guess on Byung-Hyun Kim, thinking that one of the slots was for Rockies/DBacks. Oops. (It wouldnt have made a difference, I was outta ideas.)

The Braves/Rangers player I entered is Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Also, I nearly missed Acua. Woulda been really pissed if I missed that low hanging fruit.

Also just 5/9, which is pretty bad considering BOS and NYY were two of the teams

9/9, rarity 201

Only reason I got Milwaukee/Philly was the guy I used, Valerio de Los Santos, has a super long last name that would literally wrap around his jersey number, and I got a big kick out of it when I was younger. I would jokingly pick him in the last round of fantasy drafts because of it. Its literally the only reason why I know he exists.

Those Marlins ones were tough. I burned Metd/Marlins on Mike Piazza and should have saved him for Marlins/A's.

I still got it, rarity score 101.

I got the COL/200K one, although I guessed. Didn't know the answer group was that miniscule.

Overall, a 6/9 effort. I don't like missing CIN clues if I can help it, though.

I never finished yesterdays. I was doing horribly. Only had 3. I was guessing Jorge de la Rosa for the Rockies 200 K guy he was close, but didnt make it.

Much better today 9/9, rarity 167. Love it when they do the White Sox.

Interesting that Steve Stone came up as 9% for you and it was 33% for me. I must have jumped on right when the puzzle was posted.
