Immaculate Grid has diehard MLB fans chasing super-low ‘rarity scores’ to find lesser-known names

MLB Barry Bonds

This may not be news to those of you who play Immaculate Grid — the MLB guessing game that has swept the nation of seamheads and is now owned by Baseball Reference— but the most fun thing to see on Twitter now is everyone sharing their “Rarity Scores.”

That’s the score you’re given at the end of the game, showing if you chose players who other users didn’t choose as much. So if the answer to one grid box is a Giant with 500-plus home runs, you’d get a lower score for picking say, Mel Ott over Barry Bonds. Got it?

My buddy and I have traded text messages about ours (he’s beat me every time, although I just bragged about nailing Karim Garcia playing for both the New York Mets and Yankees).

Check out these mega-low scores:

Immaculate Grid 102 9/9:
Rarity: 144
IMMACULATE!

Nailbiter on upper left – I think that same combo turned up last week and I needed it to go 9/9, put the phone down to think and forgot to try
