An Immaculate Grid solution that scored a 0

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

Wordle stats showing a 365-day streak

I hit the year-long Wordle streak!

Wordle stats showing a 364-day 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.

Tom Hamilton Reflects on 35 Years as the Voice of Cleveland Baseball Soon to be recognized by the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum, Tom Hamilton looks back on his iconic career as the radio voice of the Cleveland Guardians.

My latest, for Ohio Magazine. I got to talk to Tom Hamilton. www.ohiomagazine.com/ohio-life/ar...

A Tim Salmon mention in 2025? love everything about it.

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.

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

All 4 came from one guy 🤬

Ray Chapman is such an underutilized Grid selection.

Take today for example...

Bob Wood sighting #4!

A Starting 9 solution for June 9.

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!

An Immaculate Grid solution

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!

Wordle solution for 6/6

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.

The Bob Wood Grid quest finally continued again today. This is my second use (currently need 19 uses for him to enter my most used players)

The cover of SABR's book on Stan Musial shows him in uniform, leaning on a bat and staring away from the camera.

SABR's newest publication on Stan Musial has released! In it, I write about Musial hitting a home run on the same day he became a grandfather.
