Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

I thought this was pretty cool. Today's NYTimes crossword has the following clues:
17 across: 1908 Cubs player and position
25 across: 1908 Cubs player and position
43 across: 1908 Cubs player and position
57 across: What 17-, 25-, and 43-across were, famously.

Here's what it looks like complete!

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

Eh, the fact that there were clues about Cubs players is secondary...

Snrub just wanted to show off to everybody that he completed a NY Times crossword puzzle… ;-)

Seriously, nice work, and thanks for sharing!

haha

CaughtInTheVines is right. If what you said was true, I’d be posting 3-5 of these a week!

I know you were kidding.

I used to be "Jones," but I got swooped on the redesign.

Does Soriano's defense at 2B really cost more runs than in LF?  He makes a lot fewer errors in LF since misplays and mental mistakes aren't figured into the stats, but I have to imagine that his mistakes are more physical at 2B.  Any thoughts?  Is there a statistic on this?
