If you're a baseball fan who has not yet heard of the Immaculate Grid, then you're definetly missing out. The baseball quiz game has fast become one of the hottest pieces of news in the MLB sphere.
Each day, Baseball Reference publishes the Immaculate Grid. The puzzle features a 3 x 3 square with nine cubes to be populated.
In order to succeed at the game, users must match up a team on the y-axis and a x-axis. In order to do so, players must list at least one player who has played for both of the intersecting teams. Sometimes, a team is replaced with a statistical criteria.
One of the squares for the July 29 edition of the Grid asked for players who have played for the Atlanta Braves and the Chicago White Sox. Although there are a total of 180 players, today we're taking a look at some of the biggest eligible names.

A ten-time Gold Glover, Jones spent the 2009 season on the White Sox, where he hit his 400th career home run.
