I wish this question was answered. There are so many crossword editors who don't take into account the problematic phrasing of clues or the fact that the solved word is only legible to a certain segment of the population (hello baseball?)

I worded that poorly. The baseball clues can be legible to a certain segment. I wouldn't classify them as pop culture.
