Construct a Puzzle

One for Opening Day

◆ · By andeux · Published 2022-04-07T18:36:19.386Z

Quote puzzles. Everyone loves those, right?....... Anyway, a version of this (unpublished) was one of my first attempts at constructing a couple of years ago. I redid all the fill, and it is somewhat better now, I think. Happy opening day, to all who celebrate.

    I struggled in a few places in this but it ended up feeling totally fair. Fun crossword and a great quote for a puzzle.
    It does look like 55D was misclued as 43A instead of 34A which took me a while to make sense of lol
