Happy Saturday folks!!! Here is my MLB Immaculate Grid number 1090 for Friday March 27, 2026.
The 30+ Save season was difficult to fill. Bobby Thigpen was the easiest of the three boxes to fill. Thigpen set the single season save record with 57 saves in 1990. Currently he is tied for 2nd on the list behind Francisco Rodriguez (62 in 2008) and Edwin Diaz (57 in 2018).
I'm lucky that I picked Zack Britton for the Orioles selection for 30+ saves. Part of me wanted to use Armando Benitez but after I finished the grid, I checked his stats. He did accrue 30 or more saves but not for the O's. His highest for the Orioles was 22 while he broke the 30+ saves threshold for the Mets three times.
I remember a slim Sammy Sosa with long jerri curls and a slim mustache playing for the White Sox before being traded to the Cubs for fellow Dominican slugger George Bell.
Well that's all for now. Enjoy your weekend. On to the next grid.
