MLB Grid: today’s baseball grid
Three MLB teams across the top, three down the side. Fill each square with a player who played for both teams, using nine guesses or fewer. Every square has dozens of valid answers, and nine different players can always fill the board.
MLB Grid #1
Tap a square, then pick a player who played for both teams.
How to play the MLB Grid
- Each square sits where a row team meets a column team.
- Tap a square and search for a player who played for both of its teams, at any point of his career.
- You have 9 guesses for the nine squares, and each player can be used once. A wrong pick costs a guess.
- Each right answer shows its rarity: lower means fewer seasons among that square's answers. Your rarity score adds the nine squares (an empty one counts 100).
- A new grid comes out every day at midnight UTC. Today's hardest square still has 69 valid answers.
Stuck? See who played for both (spoilers)
Each of today's squares has its own list of every player who played for both teams, with his seasons and games. Opening one is a spoiler, so try first.

Where the careers come from
The careers behind every square come from the SABR Lahman Baseball Database (1876–2025, CC BY-SA 3.0), 20,151 players. A player counts for a team when he played at least one regular-season game for that franchise in a season. Old names and cities count for today's franchise, so Montreal Expos seasons are Nationals seasons and New York Giants seasons are Giants seasons. Seasons from the 2026 season are added after the next yearly release of the database.
MLB Grid: questions
How does the MLB Grid work?
Each square sits where a row team meets a column team. Tap it and pick a player who played for both teams at any point of his career. Right answers stay on the board; you have nine guesses in total, and each player can be used once.
What counts as “played for” a team?
A player counts for a team when he played at least one regular-season game for that franchise in a season, in the Lahman Baseball Database. Old names and cities count for today’s franchise: Montreal Expos seasons are Nationals seasons, Brooklyn Dodgers seasons are Dodgers seasons.
How is the rarity score worked out?
Each right answer gets a rarity from 1 to 100: his share of all the seasons played by every valid answer for that square. A long career scores high; a one-season player scores low. Your rarity score adds the nine squares (an empty square counts 100), so lower is rarer. It is estimated from careers, not from other players’ picks.
When does a new grid come out?
Every day at midnight UTC. The board is the same for everyone, and past boards stay playable from the archive.
Is every square solvable?
Yes. A board is used only when each of its nine squares has at least three valid answers and nine different players can fill all nine squares at once. The answers page for each day lists them.
Is this the official MLB game?
No. AllStar Grid is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Major League Baseball, its clubs or any other grid game. Team names and logos are used only to say which franchises a question asks about; the logos are trademarks of their teams.
