THEME: baseball diamond grid with circled letters as baselines spelling ways to advance runners
GOOD ONES: What the circled words (shown in the appropriate direction) are capable of doing ADVANCING THE RUNNER
Ones getting lots of Bronx cheers YANKEES [does this mean cheers for the Bombers or boos?]
BTW: Baseball commissioner under whom interleague play became a reality SELIG [only needed the first two words]
Spanish pronoun ESTA [rather than grammar, why not clue it the way it may be heard: "Como ESTA usted?"]
This was a particularly creative way to recognize the opening week of Major League Baseball, so as a fan...
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
