25-second pick · +100

Seattle Pilots One in a Krillion

13 letters · 2 words · ~4s to type · 48 accepted answers on the sheet

Walk past the supermarket default. We would type Seattle Pilots: One in a Krillion, +100, 13 letters, about 4 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, or New York Yankees — those are Plankton. It is also the One in a Krillion on this sheet, so the rare pick and the typeable pick are the same.
