This was the week that the Immaculate Grid entered my life, and it’s impossible to explain just how deep that rabbit hole has become.
It’s a little like the time I discovered that every “Cheers” episode was on Hulu, a little like when that Beatles “Get Back” documentary was released on Disney+, and for the first time since 1979 a week passed in my house during which ESPN was not on my television.Immaculate Grid is the brainchild of a glorious man named Brian Minter, a software developer in suburban Atlanta, and it has recently exploded in popularity because baseball-reference.
But like any other great rabbit hole, even the frustrating things are overcome — and overwhelmed — by the Good Stuff. I’m reminded of a favorite podcast of mine, the “Revolutions” series by Mike Duncan that a friend of mine turned me on to. While there are stretches of, say, the French Revolution that drag for an episode or two, the overall magnificence of the work always shines through.
And we won’t even get into binge-watching “The Bear” or “Jack Ryan” or “The Righteous Gemstones,” or binge rewatching “Mad Men” and “Eastbound and Down” and “Truth Be Told,” or making time for the documentaries on Bill Walton and Rock Hudson and Mary Tyler Moore, or squeezing in your regular podcasts like “SmartLess” or “The Rewatchables” or “The Woj Pod,” and maybe you still want to make time for a book every now and again ….But if you’re a baseball fan? You need the Immaculate Grid.
