  ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 1109 9/9: Rarity: 9 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: https://www.sports-reference.com/immaculate-grid/play #immaculategrid x #baseball 6 Reds and 3 Legends Jackie Robinson & Larry Doby had to be included. Rude not to do so. Felt compelled to include Mays too. Black, Newcombe, & Crowe were all Reds. Cheers!

Feel like I didn’t quite nail this grid. Doug Bair played for all 4 teams and I wasn’t sure where to use him. Joe Morgan was too popular, but Cobra or Scott Rolen would be just as bad. Brumfield is a favorite. Always liked Freddy Galvis. Mullane for the Hall! Shoutout: Mariano Duncan, Fergie Jenkins, Jose Guille...

My first thought there was John Halama, who is a remarkably popular choice since people remember him as the other side of the Randy Johnson trade. Shoutouts...

Harry Wright organized & managed the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings—first openly pro team. No, that isn’t the same organization as today’s Reds. Heck, the NL was still 7 years in the future. Whatever. The proud tradition of Cincinnati baseball is absolutely his achievement! He counts! Also, a shame no Red has ever won...

Only 6 Reds, as I had a little fun with the Twins/Washington Senators row: Bobo & Firpo! (And Larry “the Devil” Milbourne.) Hey! Got Gary Redus on the grid! It’s been too long, but that 1 game at 2B pays off again. Shoutouts: Lee Smith, Chris Sabo, Frank Robinson, Scooter Gennett, Jimmie Foxx, and, after doing some di...

Also, I have no idea what mistake I made. Never entered anyone and was told I was wrong. Still think it’s an auto reload thing in the middle of entering a name. Whatever.

Forgot to post yesterday’s grid! Definitely a grab bag of Reds. Leibrandt was an early Reds memory for me and then I saw him pitch for the Braves the one time I got to old Fulton County Stadium maybe 1991. Gary Redus! Regret plugging in Mike Lum and then immediately remembering Jim Thorpe was a Brave. Cheers!

Paul Rudd was Moe Berg in “The Catcher Was a Spy.” John Cusack was Buck Weaver in “Eight Men Out.” 10 HR guys were all Reds, as were DiMaggio and Pop Schriver. Can I count Enrique Romo as a Red since he won 20 games for the Mexico City Reds in 1976. (Okay, “Diablos Rojos” but it said “Reds...

  Donut Day fell on a Sunday this week. This is suboptimal, as the church groups grab all the Apple fritters. Settled for a plain fritter. If they truly wanted to honor the Lord on Sunday, they should sleep in. #pastry

Really pleased today. 4 B&W Reds including little brothers Lloyd Waner and Vince DiMaggio. Joe Price & Rafael Landestoy were both 1982 Reds, the first 100-loss Reds team. It haunts me.

Don’t think any Red ever saved 30 for the White Sox. Oh well. Gary Redus! Redus and Vail were 1982 Reds. Love the OF column; not much to like on the Saves column.
