Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼I got this from the crossings, but it was tough to track down in research. The entry BLEEDER has not appeared in the New York Times Crossword since 1949, and in the three instances where it did appear, it was clued to people who live with the blood disorder hemophilia. It’s not listed as a baseball term in Merriam-Webster.com and, according to the glossary of terms on Baseballmonkey.com, it is defined as “A weakly hit ground ball that goes for a base hit.” A “blooper,” on the other hand — my first guess — is defined on the same site as “A weakly hit fly ball that drops in for a hit; typically, between an infielder and outfielder.” On the other hand, the second definition in the Oxford English Dictionary seems apt.
