The Player Stack

The Player Stack

  • Ten real baseball players are dealt one at a time, not just legends, anyone with a real career. Slot each one into whichever of the ten career-total categories you think adds up to the most.
  • Their real career total in that category is revealed and added to your stack. Each category can be used once.
  • The target changes every board: a solver finds the best possible stack for that day’s specific ten players, and you need to clear a chunk of it. A board of stars and a board of role players are both winnable, just calibrated differently.
  • Clear the target after all ten are placed to win the day.

Career totals through the 2026 season, counted from real data, not hand-typed. Most days are batters only. On an occasional pitchers day (random, never more than one in four days, and any time in Unlimited with the Pitchers toggle) all ten players are pitchers with 150+ career games pitched (or 500+ innings), and the categories are Wins, Losses, Innings Pitched, Strikeouts, Walks Allowed, Saves, Games Started, Home Runs Allowed, Games Pitched and Hit Batsmen. These are the Lahman Baseball Database’s official season totals plus public season stats for 2022 on: exact, not estimated. Only players whose real career began in 1996 or later are eligible, so every included total reflects a full career, not a partial one.
