Every day, MLB Immaculate Grid posts a new, dynamic puzzle that aims to test the extent of baseball fan's knowledge of their sport.
The Immaculate Grid follows a relatively simple concept. The 3 x 3 array comes with six clues, three on the x-axis and three on the y-axis. To complete the grid, users must use the clues to populate the nine spaces with names of relevant MLB stars.
On Sept. 9, the Immaculate Grid asked users to name players who have garnered All-Star nods as well as Gold Gloves in a season. Let's take a look at some of the top names.

All-Stars who have also won Gold Gloves | MLB Immaculate Grid Sept. 9
Ichiro Suzuki is regarded as the most successful Japanese player to have taken to an MLB field. In 2001, he posted one of the most incredible rookie campaigns ever seen.
He led the MLB in hits, steals and batting average, posting a slashline of .350/.381/.457 as his Seattle Mariners tied the AL wins record with 116 wins. Although he went on to win numerous more accolades, the 27-year old won the MVP, Rookie of the Year as well as an All-Star starting spot and a Gold Glove for his play in the outfield in 2021.
Current St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado has won 10 straight Gold Gloves.
Regarded as one of the best tenders of the hot corner in baseball, Arenado has also put up seven All-Star appearances as well. In 2015, his 42 home runs and 130 RBIs for the Colorado Rockies led the league in both categories, as did his 41 home runs and 133 the next season.
Yadier Molina won eight Gold Gloves during his 19 seasons serving as a backstop for the St. Louis Cardinals. The Puerto Rican holds the all-time record for putouts as a catcher and picked off a whopping 41% of runners attempting to steal during his career.
A natural leader, Molina is often brought up as a possible option for future Cardinals manager.
Cy Young Award winner in 2009, Zack Greinke is regarded as one of the league's best fielding pitchers.
A six-time All-Star, Greinke won six straight Gold Gloves between 2014 and 2019. A first-round Kansas City Royals draft pick in 2002, many expect the 39-year old Greinke to retire after his victory lap season.
