The cache is not at the posted coordinates. That location is loosely tied into the collection of assocations that came to mind when placing this cache, but there's no reason to go there unless you're ready to play ball.
Le Grand Orange was a moniker given to a beloved major league baseball player when he joined the newly created Montreal Expos prior to the 1969 season. His baseball statistics ought to help you find the cache though many locals can probably figure out the cache's location from the other strange associations given the cache title, player name, and general location.
The cache is located at N 44° AB.CDE′ W 72° FG.HJK′ where:
- The player had 67A plate appearances in 1969.
- The player's last year in Houston was 196B.

Can you drive this one home? The difficulty was bumped up a bit thinking that there are people trying to find this who didn't grow up reading box scores.
Congratulations to mwein for being FTF!
