The coveted zero. Walter Johnson in the outfield is one of my favorite Grid tricks (he played all three OF spots).

I hit the year-long Wordle streak!

Going for a year straight of Wordle tomorrow.

I'll have to go back and see what word I missed to start this nonsense.

A Tim Salmon mention in 2025? love everything about it.
You know who's on the 2025 All-Star team. Now here's an All-Quarter Century roster of standout players who never made it, from Eric Chavez to Travis Hafner to Kyle Hendricks and more

The MLB All-Quarter Century ‘Never Been an All-Star’ Team
Tim Salmon, Pat Burrell, Juan Pierre and Eric Chavez are among players whose stellar resumes lack an All-Star appearance in the 2000s.

Al Simmons was very much an All-Star. As it happened, it was very much so with the Chicago White Sox ... not the A's.

FYI @phungo2008.bsky.social

The NY Giants did not trigger the "wrong team" red highlight in Game 8.

How did Pringles not get Wade Boggs to sponsor these?

2025 Topps Chrome is the 30th edition of the product, and it has some special goodies for both the modern collector (did someone say Golden Logoman patches?) and those who like a touch of nostalgia. Read my Beckett preview here: www.beckett.com/news/2025-to...

Ray Chapman is such an underutilized Grid selection.

Take today for example...

Haven't shared one of these in a while. Since starting the first volume of Connie Mack's bio, I have been trying to up his usage on the Grid.

Another perfect week that involved incredible luck that I will certainly pay back to the universe soon and brings me to a career-long streak. Next week will mark half a year for me playing Starting 9!

I was cruising along until I tried to put Steve Gromek in the All-Star/Played MLB square and accidentally selected a gentleman named Steve Green. Then, it turns out Gromek was never an All-Star, so two blanks today, but another Bob Wood sighting!

Apparently, the fourth time was the charm on the E and D today.

That said, Jack Chesbro also had great @mlb.com moments, too - like this 14 game winning streak in 1904. Chesbro had learned and mastered the spitball and turned it into his greatest weapon.

Andrew Harner has this tale.
