  ⚾️ 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!

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...

Glad Lorenzen’s in Colorado or it’d be Kevin Ritz. Biff! Watched a lot of bad Braves baseball in 1981.

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...

Decided to go for speed today. This is what my brain threw at me. Went back and looked and no ex-Red ever stole 30 for the Expo-Nats. Herm Winningham had 29, which is cool. Shoutouts: Bill Lee!, Rob Murphy, Mike O’Berry, Paul Blair, Dave Concepcion, Eddie Milner, Bug Holliday, Charlie Comiskey, and...

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.

Did some double-checking, specifically on which Alou fit where. Just sorry Jesus didn’t fit; he played RF for Houston, but never scored 100. Gary Redus! Eric Davis! Frank Robinson!

Gary Matthews because I couldn’t think of a Red/Cub/Mariner. Went looking and there are 9 guys. Four pitchers: Milt Wilcox, Bobby Ayala, Mike Morgan, & Wade Miley. Five hitters: Bill Plummer, Ozzie Timmons, Chris Denorfia, Miguel Cairo, & Mike Freeman. Man I wish I’d remembered Wilcox or Plummer was a Cu...

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!

Just wanted to see if I could do it. Dontrelle is the only Red. Tanana is a favorite. Nemo was CF for 1924 World Champs! Scott Pose led off for the Marlins franchise and lost the CF job a month later to Chuck Carr.

Fairly easy for a Rays grid. Man, Jorge Cantú had pop. Glad to see he’s not forgotten. Gary Redus! Skeeter! Solid grid of Reds favorites. Also, R.I.P. Cory Lidle. Shoutouts: Eric Davis, Paul Blair, Joe Morgan, Duane Walker, and non-Red Randy Arozarena. 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...

Bid! Youngblood, Vail, and Francona were also Reds. Dylan Crews at 7%? Wonder what James Wood and Cade Cavalli were at? Teddy Higuera pitched the first game I ever attended.

Not much to say about this one. Between MVP, Rookie of the Year, and First Round Pick, there’s not much room for Negro League guys. Disappointing. But Slim fits and he was awesome.

  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

Used Ron Gant a square early and then couldn’t think of another Red/Rockie/A’s guy. Sonny Gray maybe wasn’t a great choice either. Otherwise pleased. Shoutouts: Eric Davis, Mike Lum, Drew Stubbs, Duane Walker, Rick Mahler. And non-Reds: Rico Carty and Joe Girardi. Cheers!

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. Jacob Brumfield was always great when I saw him during Spring Training; thought he’d be an All Star. Shoutouts: Shane Vict...

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. Maybe better score if I’d flipped Smith & Myers (they both fit both places). Shoutout: Tom Seaver, Larry Biitner, Paul Blai...

Yes, the Reds are paying Jeimer Candelario $13 Million Dollars to play for the Angels this year. Dumb signing gets dumber. Also, really Angels? R.I.P. Wayne Granger. He past last month.

Glanville’s a Penn alum and a nice guy. Baerga, man I would have bet he’d just walk into the Hall of Fame, then he just stopped hitting at 26. John Kruk is beloved in Philly. Remember that time he tried to hit righty against Randy Johnson! Funny guy! 4 Reds: Jefferson, Charlton, Vaughn, &...

I really need to get back to doing morning grids. End of day and my brain is done. I loved Tanana back in the day; classic example of flamethrower blowing out his arm and then learning to pitch. Bruce Chen bailing me out again. Shoutout: Ray Knight would have made it 9 Reds. Mike Remlinger, Dave Parker, C.J. Ni...
