They should allow you to see the top 5 or 10 picks for each square after you finish the puzzle. As-is, I don’t really trust those percentages.

Right? How does Willie Mays have such a low percentage for that block? There aren’t a ton of 3,000 hit 500 HR guys and for me he might be most well known. Maybe Bonds?

The second player you mentioned does not qualify for that block…

I assume wrong guesses are included in that percentage? But still, the percentage for the player we both picked is crazy low.

I guess I thought Brooks Robinson had more homeruns than he did. So tried that box again and then left the O's/Padres one blank on purpose

Thome is a great pull. I forgot he was a Twin. Was just having a discussion the other day about all time 3B. Brooks had the glove. Eddie Mathews had the stick. Mike Schmidt was both of them combined.

Thome was dating my cousin's neighbor when we were both around 7-8 years old so I have a bunch of signed bats and balls from him, his career was one that I followed quite a bit besides the Cardinals while I was growing up

My dumb ass remembered DAVID Murphy instead of DANIEL Murphy for the Wash/Mets spot. I really didn’t have anyone for the Marlins Angels block anyway though IMG_2979.png

We both missed the same block, but only had 1 crossover match.

Yours were more rare, so I bow to your victory…

My Angels 20 game winner was a lucky stab. Can’t believe I forgot about your selection there. The Nationals/Expos connection was big for me.

Same, And I won't spoiler this as a warning to others. Verlander was my 20 game selection winner for the Mets and they didn't give it to me.
think for the seasonal stuff, it had to happen WITH the club. The career stuff just requires an appearance.
