1987 Fleer Superstar Special
’Big Bats At The First Sack’ – How telling is that headline??
Two of the biggest and hardest hitting guys in the mid-1980’s were Eddie Murray and Glen Davis. During the 1983-1988 baseball seasons, Murray tallied 33, 29, 31, 17, 30, and 28 home runs respectively. And from 1985-1989, Davis crushed 20, 31, 27, 30, [...]

While their were many impressive posts this week, it all came down to the tie-breaker to find this week’s winner in the Beat
the Blogger contest. The Blogger posted a respectable score of 8 but it was no
match for Yale Brown, who missed just one pick but hit on his doubler to post
a score of 10 and then won the contest with her 46 on the tie-breaker.
This week’s matchups and the Blogger’s picks will be posted below later today
so make sure you check back and get your picks posted before the start of the first
game to be eligible to win this week’s prize. As always, good luck and have a great
Thanksgiving.
While I enjoy giving prizes to several people vs. having just one weekly winner, from
this point forward contestants will be asked to provide a tie-breaker on the week’s
last game so we narrow our winner down to one. Contestants will now be asked to
predict the total score from the last game on the list and the closest to the actual
score will be deemed the winner). I’ll also require contestants to post their
e-mail address with their picks so I can track down the winners easier.
For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple.
The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his 
choices
for the winners of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest
by clicking on the “Comment” section below the post with the matchups and then select
their own 10 winners. You can also designate one of your picks as a “Doubler” and
you will receive an extra point if you’re correct so don’t forget to designate your
“Doubler” pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger’s
total and post the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly
prize is an authentic signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian
Tomlinson, Drew Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish
Hunter and many more. From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for
the weekly contest so look for special prize packages.
