Too late on Chicken Wolf for today; the question is, have you closed off the Chicken’s? I see Chicken Hawks is an option, and then there’s also Negro League HOF’er Turkey Stearnes. Also the geese (rather the Goose, Goslin and Tatum). A fair number of Ducky’s, but no Duck.
The next time the...
Love the work you're doing on the old-timers with the wonderful nicknames; I hope I can file these away in my memory.
Yesterday I also had a 1% day too, my angle was with former Twins managers-was able to put Frank Quilici and Johnny Goryl to use in the 3B & 2B/SS category. As it turns out...
Just finished the first half of the Stranger Things final season, and as the kids say (or said not so long ago) it slaps. The first half finale's got me juiced for the down the stretch wrap up of the show.
I was able to utilize three Twins alums as newbies today, but the only one in the exclusive Twins line was legend Mike Stenhouse (w/Expos). I was able to use Carl Pavano (Yanks/Expos) and Don Mincher (Pilots/Brewers and Angels) also. I'm fourteen players from 1900, but the climb is getting...
As I shared with Ope, Maksudian's SABR profile really needs to be read--he may have been a forgettable journeyman on the diamond, but he's got a Hall of Fame storyline (make sure you read through to his time with the Edmonton Trappers): https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/mike-maksudian/
A great day for myself also-I mined the old-timers (with a tip of the hat to you Ope for Johnny Frederick and Buddy Myers) to clean up on unique players and low scores. The wonderfully named Orval Overall was unique player #1850.
A couple recent tips found inadvertently:

Twins on the grid today. . .
Went with:
Larry Milbourne (.3%)
Lamonte Wade Jr. (2%)
Noah Davis (.01%)
Wade Jr. and Davis were newbies for me today, and by using Davis I'm awfully close to finishing off the 2025 Twins roster.
After watching the Woman in Cabin 10 (not bad!-low bar of expectations and it cleared it) on Saturday night, I wasn't ready to go to bed but also didn't want to start even an hour long TV episode, so as I was flipping through the Netflix options and The Last of the Mohicans popped up, I fast...
In anticipation of the Running Man remake , I watched the original which I realized I somehow missed back in the day; as I do the math, it was released the year before I got my driver’s license, hence the miss (same with Predator).
Anyhow, it was a silly joy ride with Arnold’s one liners flying...
