No M's in the top row obviously (Campanella, third baseman, at 4%?) but all M's below there.
All nonwhite players, too, keeping the theme with the top row.

Bonus all-M's grid to correct a grave oversight from this morning. As soon as I hit "post" on my phone I had that moment of "Wait....shit"

Speed grid!
I'm sure this score will drop in a few minutes, let alone midday.
And it's all M's.

All M's. Pat Borders comes up clutch. Using him is starting to feel like using Terry Mulholland/Ron Villone/Mike Morgan, i.e. a bit of a copout 🤣 but the only other guy I could think of for that square is just like the ocean under the moon, and he probably would have been a big chunk.

All M's. Bottom-right would have been a killer were it not for a viral social post that Blanco is the only player to have played for all four 2025 LCS clubs.

Call it 7.5 M's (the club signed Fulmer to a minor league deal in the stretch run this past season, but to my slight surprise it was Luke Jackson and not him that actually got the callup). Squares that require pitcher winners of full season awards position players can also win are diabolical

Bonus maximum M's grid (had to repeat Olerud; RA Dickey 5.7 is, best I can tell, the next highest). Choo does score worse than Burba. I filled this one out cause I'm on mobile now and I did the first grid on PC, and I wanted to look at the top answers without injuring my pride by hitting Give Up

Maximum M's, and I don't really care about the score for bottom-left and bottom-middle. Burba surprised me a bit; he probably scored better than 추신수 (that's Shin-Soo Choo to you -- but I'm learning Korean!), but still, maybe I should save him for actual M's categories.

All M's. Not a bad score by any means, but I think I could have done better putting Franklin at middle-right rather than middle-left. I thought of Arthur Rhodes to take over at middle-left; just scrolling here, I see Juan Nicasio and Rick White on others' grids, so I had options.

All M's. Not a bad score considering most of it came from a square where I had no choice.

Josh Naylor is a Mariner for the next half-decade. The sun is shining a little bit brighter today.
Oh, and I got a great score on an all-M's grid too 😄

Perry was a bit more of a chunk than I was expecting, but still, please, please, let me live in this moment for just a second longer where a decent score is possible, before I completely obliterate it 😂

All M's (Hamilton 2022 ST). One of the more obvious squares to put Josh in, but I think he's actually my only answer anyway. Willie Bloomquist topped out at 25 SB; Mark McLemore never played 1B, not even once. (Must be incredibly hard)
I don't think any other choices in the whole bottom row either

Well, the preponderance of Black pitchmen is not exactly a coincidence. This article says it better than I ever could www.esquire.com/news-politic...

One of the easier basketball grids I can remember seeing, so I gave it a go. Hoops isn't really my game, I'm happy just to have gotten 7 correct answers.

All M's. Middle column restricted my mobility a lot; I think I mitigated the damage the best I could.
Will we see 1's and 0's today? This is about as wide open as the grid gets.

All M's. Another good couple seasons (or one really good one) from Ketel Marte saves me from El Chunkaroni in middle-right, but as of writing Randy's the only answer. (Too bad Schilling fits 3 other squares)
God bless Terry Mulholland, cause without him PHI/ARI/SEA is a hell of a head scratcher.

All possible M's. I wonder when the West coast wakes up, will my middle column scores drop even further? Mainstream M's fans will probably use Raúl Ibáñez (or *maybe* Gil Meche), Carlos Santana, and Randy Arozarena.
New mission: use Arquimedes Caminero and Arquimedez Pozo on the same grid.
