I used my award-winning wonderful book, The Least Among Them, (and a few other players) to help me solve this Immaculate Grid.
(Spoiler Alert - The finished grid from 8/17/25 is pictured below.)

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post
"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."
—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life
"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

I also used Spud Chandler for pitching MVP. But I had Rick Reuschel for the Gold Glove -- you look at the guy and think, "How could he ever be a good fielder?" I scored a 2 total.
NOTE - The "missing box" is Tom Burr.. B-R just didn't have a photo of him. (Which speaks to the terrific research I did for this award-winning book. ) :)
Paul, your book “The Least Among Them” looks very interesting. Is it Yankee centric or MLB in general?
Please tell us a little something about it. It’s not the typical “baseball book”. What gave you the idea?
There, I set it on the tee for ya!
Been playing the Immaculate Grid for awhile now. It’s a fun puzzle. Look for it on the Baseball Reference site.
I was “Immaculate” on that grid. Scored 101. The shortstops I chose, Jeter, Ozzie Smith, Arod accounted for 70 of those. Didn’t want to think too hard!
Btw, I used Judge in the blank space on your sample. He was at 4%.
Have fun playing!
