There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page then you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Washington Nationals (formerly Montreal Expos) and the Baltimore Orioles.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found a player who played for both the Nationals and the Orioles.
Matt Wieters
Matt Wieters was a highly regarded catcher in Major League Baseball, best known for his time with the Baltimore Orioles from 2009 to 2016. A switch-hitter with a solid defensive presence, Wieters accumulated four All-Star selections and two Gold Glove Awards during his time in Baltimore.

Vladimir Guerrero
Vladimir Guerrero was a big deal in baseball from 1996 to 2011, playing mostly for the Expos and Angels – but also with Rangers and Orioles. Known for his free-swinging style and rocket arm in right field, Guerrero earned the MVP title in 2004 while with the Angels.
Over his career, he smashed over 440 home runs, maintained a stellar .318 batting average, and stole more than 180 bases. He was also selected for the All-Star game nine times. Guerrero was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018.
Tim Raines
Tim Raines, who played from 1979 to 2002, is best known for his time as an outfielder with the Montreal Expos. Raines had an exceptional career, amassing over 2,600 hits, 170 home runs, and an impressive 808 stolen bases, ranking him fifth on the all-time list.
He was a seven-time All-Star (Expos) and won two World Series titles with the New York Yankees. Raines’ best season might have been 1983 when he hit .298, stole 90 bases, and had an on-base percentage of .393. Known for his speed and ability to get on base, Raines was one of the best leadoff hitters of his era.
