Lights Out!

by George Barany and Friends

This "mid-week level" sports-themed tribute was constructed on the final weekend of one of the great careers in major league baseball history, and posted just as the postseason was getting underway.  After solving the puzzle (spoiler), you may enjoy a variety of articles and appreciations found by clicking here, here, here, here, and here.    

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. We thank Marcia Brott, Michael Hanko, Brent Hartzell, Martin Herbach, Nancy Herther, Amelia Rosner, Carl Voss, Alex Vratsanos, Mark Wieder, and Tom Williams for short-notice beta testing and useful comments.
