How to play The Card
Everyone in this time zone plays the same ten-line card today: C through P, then the manager.
Each spot has one rule. For a position, search a real player who played that position in a game and fits the rule. The pitcher spot counts anyone who pitched in a game — even a position player who threw one inning.
The manager line is a skipper. Team and decade rules there mean clubs they managed, not clubs they played for.
Some rules ask which organization a player first reached the majors with — a stand-in for who developed them. Some ask for two or three franchises — they must have appeared for every team listed. Others are season or career marks: a 20+ home-run year, 30 stolen bases, 1,000 pitching strikeouts, a World Series as a player. The pitcher line only asks for pitching marks — strikeouts or a ring — not a home-run or stolen-base season.
You get ten pitches — one per line. A miss burns the spot and it stays blank. A name can only appear once.
When the card is in, you get a rarity (how often the crowd would write the same names — lower is better) and a lineup grade from the careers you actually landed.
