I really enjoyed this one, and all the Easter Rabbit holes I went down before solving.

Am I going to need to know a "starting rotation" is or a "base ball game" is?
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Solved, but only because @CPJohnson pulled me out of all the rabbit holes I fell into -- appropriate for Easter!! Thanks, Cynthia. I'm not sure I would have seen it on my own.

I'm out of the box. Good one!

The title had me worried that this was going to be one of those things I know nothing about, so I was relieved to see that Will tagged it with "No Google necessary" and even moreso when that turned out to be entirely true.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Dinoed, after a nudge. Thanks @Schmeel!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

Same here. With the CDs puzzle it was pretty obvious where to start, even though it took me a little while to sound it out. I don't even know if this one has theme answers or not.
