About this Board
MLB Deep Cut #20, Tuesday, October 13: “Name a major leaguer whose first and last names start with the same letter (1,000+ games).” The prompt had 108 valid answers, and nobody played it that day. Correct answers score more the fewer people name them, so the deepest cuts are the ones worth the most.
