What is Immaculate Grid?
MLB Immaculate Grid is a strategic game that presents a challenge to its players involving the vast history of Major League Baseball (MLB). Players are presented with a grid, a series of rows and columns, each representing unique criteria connected to the MLB, and the goal is to populate this grid with the names of players who correspond to these criteria. Additionally, players can rack up bonus points for selecting more obscure or less commonly known answers, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game.
The criteria within the grid can span a range of categories that reflect the multi-faceted nature of baseball. These might include the teams a player has been a part of, awards they've won, specific season statistics they've achieved, and specific rate stats, among others. For instance, a grid cell may necessitate the selection of a player who clinched a particular award during their tenure with a defined team, or a player who attained a specific season statistic while representing a particular team.
For a player to be a legitimate selection, they must have fulfilled the detailed criteria during their time at the MLB level. This implies that they must have participated in at least one game for the mentioned team, or achieved the award while affiliated with that team. Additionally, it is essential to note that rate statistics, like batting average (AVG) or earned run average (ERA), are only attributed to players based on their performance in completed seasons.
In considering the fluid nature of MLB, where teams may relocate to different cities or alter their names, a player's history and achievements continue to be linked with their original franchise. For instance, a player who made history with the Cleveland Indians would still be associated with their achievements even after the franchise renamed itself to the Cleveland Guardians. The game respects the complex lineage of MLB, recognizing that franchise shifts do not alter the past accomplishments of the players.
