    • Immaculate Grid and the Top Fifth Round Picks of the 1960s
    I'm a consistent Immaculate Grid player and use whatever cards litter my desk as "original sources" to plug in names. On Halloween 2023, the grid-makers added a curveball for game #212 with "First Round Draft Pick," something they introduced on earlier versions for football and basketball.

Some players like Rick Ankiel in the past and current teammate Jared Walsh hav...2021
