Here are some of the possible answers for the 97th edition of the Immaculate Grid baseball game on July 9th featuring the Nationals, Royals, Padres, Rangers, and Brewers.

Immaculate Grid has staying power, folks. At almost 100 daily games signed, sealed, and delivered, the MLB trivia game is more popular than ever and even inspiring its own spinoffs in other sports.

I have yet to see an IMDB-ish version of this, which I really want someone to develop. Which actor appeared in Friends and 17 Again? That would be good fun.

Anyway, back to what you're here for, Immaculate Grid baseball. Today's grid featured five teams, with the only stat row/column being the right-most row, a 30-plus stolen base season. Let's start by looking at the most popular answers and make our way to other possibilities.

Immaculate Grid 97: Top answers and connections for each square (July 9)

Players that have played for Nationals, Padres, Royals, Rangers, Brewers

There is one player who has appeared for all five franchises and thus would qualify for any of the team squares.

His name? Matt Stairs. Stairs played 19 leagues in the bigs and was a true journeyman, playing for 12 different franchises and only spending three years or more with just three of them. Seven teams he had a season or fewer with, with fewer than 50 games with the Red Sox, Rangers, and Tigers.

Stairs won a World Series in 2008 with the Phillies after he was traded midseason from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for Fabio Castro.

By the time he hung the cleats up, he had a career slash line of .262/.356/.477 with an OPS of .832.

Stairs joined the Phillies as a hitting coach in 2016, but sticking with his journeyman ways, went on to serve that same role for the Padres a year later.
