Stan(d by) the Man

by Alex Vratsanos

In times of yore, a baseball player would spend his entire professional career with the same franchise [click here for an example]. We are pleased to now present exclusively a hitherto unpublished "early-week level" puzzle, written circa December, 2011, that describes the current realities, and (spoiler) features the superstar pictured to the right (click here and here for more information).

Click here to view or download the puzzle in PDF format; here to download it as a puz file; here to download it as an ipuz file [requires the free Puzzazz app to solve]; here to solve the puzzle interactively (thanks to Jim Horne); here for the solution.
