MLB Immaculate Grid releases a new puzzle every day to test the knowledge of baseball fans. Unsurprisingly, an ever-growing number of fans are flocking to complete the daily challenge.
Released by Baseball Reference, the Immaculate Grid features nine squares in a 3x3 format. It is up to participants to consider the six clues and populate the squares with the names of relevant MLB players. While team names are often used as clues, sometimes a statistical value or career achievement is used instead.
On Aug. 22, the Immaculate Grid asked users to name players who have spent time with both the Baltimore Orioles and Houston Astros at some point in their respective careers. Let's take a look at some of the applicable names.

In 2007, Baltimore Orioles player Miguel Tejada ended a consecutive game streak that extended six years back to his 2001 season as a member of the Oakland Athletics. Tejada, who won the 2002 AL MVP, hit a league-best 150 RBIs during his first season with the O's in 2004.
In 2008, Tejada went to the Astros, where he would lead the league in doubles for the second time in his career in 2009. However, revelations of PED use as well as legal troubles have mired Tejada's post-MLB image.

The Orioles and Houston Astros were just two of the teams that hosted journeyman catcher Gregg Zaun over the course of his 16-year career. Zaun began his career for the O's in 1995, but did not achieve full-time status until 2003.
He spent the 2002 and 2003 seasons on the Astros before being traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. After his career, Zaun took up a broadcasting role with the Blue Jays until he was fired for "indecent conduct."

First baseman Glenn Davis hit .271/.332/.474 with 20 home runs and 64 RBIs for the 1985 Houston Astros. While the performance would earn him Rookie of the Year consideration, the best was yet to come.
The following season, Davis connected for 31 home runs and 101 RBIs, winning him a Silver Slugger and a runner-up finish in MVP voting. In 1991, Davis joined the O's, but injuries limited him to just 185 games before retiring in 1993.

While Curt Schilling went on to become one of the best, and most controversial pitchers ever, the 6-foot-5 right-hander began his career on the 1988 Baltimore Orioles, where he posted a 0-3 record and 9.82 ERA in four appearances. After a brief appearance on the 1991 Astros, Schilling would move to the Philadelphia Phillies, becoming one of the most dominant pitchers the franchise has ever had.
