How these answers are checked A player is a valid answer when the SABR Lahman Baseball Database (1876–2025, CC BY-SA 3.0) shows at least one regular-season game for each of the two franchises, in any order. Rarity is his share of all the seasons played by that square's valid answers. Seasons count for today's franchise (Montreal Expos seasons count for the Nationals).
Is my answer right if it is not listed here? This page shows the best-known and the rarest picks for each square. Every square's full list is on its “played for both” page, linked under the square; any player on that list was accepted on October 8, 2026.
Why was a player I know rejected? He needs at least one regular-season game for both franchises. Postseason-only appearances, spring training and minor-league time do not count, and the current season is added only after the yearly update of the database. If a real game is missing, tell us on the contact page.
