    After I finished the grid, I googled clues and found a similar theme in a 2007 NYT puzzle. Not too original after all. Still, I like my take on it!
    • Sommersmith 🤓7:04 · 2021-10-27T14:05:05.521Z
      No shame in having the same good idea as someone else! I thought this was a great puzzle :)
      • sus 🤓16:08 · 2021-10-27T15:26:20.859Z
        Agreed, especially when the theme is such a sitting duck.
    • Mike D 🤓6:52 · 2021-10-27T13:46:46.090Z
      I really liked this one!

        The creature clues are great!

          I couldn't get past PUNTS. I should have realized the other clues referred to golf, not baseball. I enjoyed the theme!
