Each day, a new 3 x 3 grid is released. Operated by Baseball Reference, the Immaculate Grid challenges users to look deep into their wealth of baseball knowledge.

Each puzzle has three clues on the y-axis and three on the x-axis. While the clues are usually team names, sometimes a career achievement or statistical value takes its place instead. The aim is to populate the squares with players who fulfill all then given criteria.

Cecil Fielder spent significant portions of his career with both teams, and his son Prince would go on to become a star for the latter. As a 26-year-old in 1985, Fielder went 23-for-30 as a rookie on the Jays. After a brief stint in Japan, Fielder signed with the Tigers.

Known for his incredible hitting power, Fielder is one of only four players to clear the left field roof at old Tiger Stadium. Additionally, his 1991 home run stands as the only one to exit Milwaukee County Stadium in its 47-year history.

Pitcher David Wells was on hand for the only two Blue Jays World Series victories, occurring subsequently in 1992 and 1993. In 237 games between 1990 and 1995, Wells posted a 47-37 record alongside a 3.48 ERA, and a K/9 of 2.23.

After being released by the Jays in 1995, he signed with the Tigers. In 1998, while pitching for the New York Yankees, Wells would toss the 15th perfect game in MLB history against the Minnesota Twins.
