Movies, Mets, and existential dread
16. 7 Mets— no Braves ROY works, and I blanked on ATL/TEX, even though, after looking at the list, there are several I should’ve remembered

“Enthusiasms, enthusiasms…”

1, all Mets. Not to complain, but Roger McDowell is insanely high

10. The spelling of Mat Latos’ first name always bothered me, yet “Bret” with 1 T vs. 2 doesn’t. Why is that?

5. Does Heavy Johnson cover his Pud with a Cap when doing the Charleston? You can be Honus with me, Hoss.

6. I pine for the alternate timeline where Duaner Sanchez never got hurt in 2006

5. Harry Kingman, only Chinese-born MLB player

Um, excuse me @mets.com , but why has Marcus Semien been issued this number when it’s been hanging in the rafters since the summer? #LGM #Mets #LFGM #MetsSky

6. Took a min to pull a non-obvious Twin/Giant. Knew Nathan/Pierzynski/Chili/Pressly were not gonna cut it

10. Merkle’s Boner

5. Would’ve been all Mets, but there’s only one possible guy who fits in the top right corner & I didn’t want to torpedo my rarity.

6. Really struggled for deep cuts in that bottom row but came out relatively unscathed
November 21, 2025 at 6:35 PM
4. Straight vinegar is not tolerated on this grid
November 20, 2025 at 3:38 PM
8. Pulled Frank Lary out of a hat & feel like I skated on Dmitri Young, who’s the first player I think of for those teams.

8 with Big Poison

9. Nelson Cruz is somehow the same rarity as Jeromy Burnitz, one of the first names that springs to mind. Also, 1% of any population remembering Corky Miller, even his own family, is absurd.

3. 8 Mets & Cap Anson, because I couldn’t think of a Met/HOF position player who worked & didn’t want to blow up my score. Zero commitment to the bit, undying loyalty to the rarity
November 15, 2025 at 5:44 PM
6. Waffled between Daal & Ian Kennedy, made the wrong choice. Kreevich was a photo on the baseball-reference homepage I clicked on right before playing, so can’t take credit for prior knowledge there (he’d also have worked in the O’s/Chisox square)
November 14, 2025 at 3:39 PM
4. Legendary ‘99-00 late season call-up Jorge Toca
November 13, 2025 at 3:17 PM
2, all Mets. Even managed to fit Eddie Adams from Torrance into that top right corner #IYKYK
November 12, 2025 at 3:10 PM
6. 1 Hoyt, 1 Dick & two sets of aggressive sideburns
November 10, 2025 at 3:11 PM
7. Got punished for using Kazmir almost as bad as the Mets did by trading him
November 9, 2025 at 5:18 PM
13, all Amazins. Refuse to accept that TJ Rivera rarity because I can’t conceive of another gridder pulling him there. Expecting 1-2 more zeroes after the decimal by EOD
