Are you hooked on Immaculate Grid, the daily trivia game from Baseball Reference? We sure are! We’ll warn you right now—this blog post contains spoilers. But if you’re looking for a little help with today’s grid (or you already filled it out and want to know who else qualified) read on.
To fill out today’s grid, you need to choose a player who played for both the Mariners and Angels. There were 111 players who played with both Los Angeles and Seattle. Here are some examples:

Alvin Davis
Alvin Davis played nine seasons in the majors, hitting 160 home runs and posting a .380 on-base percentage. He was the 1984 American League Rookie of the Year and was very popular with Seattle Mariners fans during his eight years with the team.
Davis played college ball at Arizona State University where he was a teammate of Marty Barrett. Davis had 200 RBI in four years at ASU. During college he played for the 1980 Alaska Goldpanners, hitting .400. Two of his teammates there were Kevin McReynolds and Harold Reynolds. Davis was signed as a 6th round pick in the 1982 amateur draft by the Mariners and scout Bob Harrison.

Davis was a very popular player in Seattle at a time when the team wasn’t winning many games. Their best finish in his years with them was fourth.
Harold Reynolds
Harold Reynolds had a 12-year career in the major leagues as a second baseman. A multi-talented player, he won three Gold Gloves, led the American League once with 60 stolen bases in 1987, and led the league in triples once with 11 in 1988. He also achieved quite a bit of visibility after his playing days as a television sportscaster.
Reynolds was born in Oregon in 1960, and was signed as the #2 pick in the secondary phase in the 1980 amateur draft by the Seattle Mariners and scout Jeff Malinoff. He worked his way up the Mariners’ minor league organization pretty quickly, hitting well at every stop. He particularly impressed with the Calgary Cannons in 1985 when he hit .363/~.440/.514 in 52 games.
After a couple of cups of coffee in the major leagues in 1983 and 1984, and time spent as a backup in 1985, he became a big league starter in 1986.
Chone Figgins
Chone Figgins pronounced his first name “Shawn”. He played twelve years in the big leagues, mostly for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and was once 10th in the voting for AL MVP – in 2009, when he made the All Star team. Although he didn’t usually lead the league in offensive categories, he was once the league leader in stolen bases and once in walks. His .330 batting average was sixth in the 2007 American League. He was a multi-position player, appearing in 640 games at third base, 279 at second base, 253 in center field, and at least 25 games at each of left field, shortstop and right field. He appeared in the 2002 World Series.

Kendrys Morales
Kendrys Morales broke into the Cuban Serie Nacional in fine form in 2001-2002. After being named the best junior player in Latin America by the Pan American Baseball Federation in 2001, Morales hit .324 his rookie season for the Industriales. He was third in the Serie Nacional in homers (21), RBI (82) and total bases (203). The 3B-OF set rookie records with 114 hits, 82 RBIs, 21 home runs, 46 extra-base hits and 60 runs. His hit record was broken by César Prieto 18 years later. He became the first teenager to make the Cuban national team since the legendary Omar Linares two decades earlier. In the 2002 Intercontinental Cup, Morales hit .270/.310/.459 with 15 RBI in 10 games for Cuba, which won a Gold Medal after Silvers in the prior two Intercontinental Cups. Morales was second to Yobal Dueñas in RBI that tourney, but did not make the All-Star team as Feng-An Tsai was chosen at first base.
Mark Langston
Mark Langston was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 2nd round of the 1981 amateur draft. He was drafted on June 8th, and signed on June 17th by scout Bob Harrison. He spent his initial pro season with the Bellingham Mariners, winning 7 and losing 3 for a 3.39 ERA. He did not finish among the top 10 in ERA but fanned 97 in 85 innings and was one of two hurlers chosen for the Northwest League All-Star team, alongside Brian Hunter. In 1982, he was pitching for the Bakersfield Mariners, winning 12 and losing 7 with a 2.54 ERA. He was 5th in the California League in ERA and whiffed 161 in 177 1/3 IP; only Tim Conroy and Curt Young struck out more that year. On the other hand, Langston walked 102 hitters, also finishing third in the Cal League in that department.
