Surname of all three Giants outfielders for the last innings of a 1963 game crossword clue
18 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 6, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Surname of all three Giants outfielders for the last innings of a 1963 game” is ALOU. It appears as 18 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 6, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Double Duty” by Vasu Seralathan, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 2, column 1 of the 21×21 grid.
The clue is a straightforward definition, so the answer is a direct synonym or a factual match for the words as written. The entry begins with A and ends with U, and contains 3 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. This weekend puzzle uses the largest grid of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
