    This is the first puzzle I've ever constructed. Hope you'll take a swing at it ;). Feedback of course welcome!

      Loved it. Aside from baseball nerds, TNN fans will love that the following down clue included Emery, as in Ralph Emery. Paul suggested hockey, I'll suggest knitting and indycar racing.

        Funny enough, I was close personal friends with Dan Wheldon. So consider an Indy one in the works!

            Terrific! Just like a pitching staff with Vida Blue, David Price, and Don Larsen. Great clue on APGAR. One very tiny bit of feedback: you have both GAME Seven and A GAME. It's not a hard and fast rule, but in general words aren't repeated in the fill.

              Wow, Jeff! 4:46?! Very nicely done. Thanks so much for the solve and the feedback. Couldn’t agree more on your game comment. Drove me nuts on this one and for sure an “E” I won’t repeat in future puzzles :)
