My 5001st post CONTEST - CONTEST ENDED AND PICTURE ADDED - *THE HUN WINS*

nam812

To celebrate this being my 5001st post (my 5000th post was this same contest, but in the wrong forum) I wanted to do a fun contest for all of you that make this place enjoyable for me. I have taken a picture of 24 different baseball cards in my collection (1 of each from 1952 to 1975) with 24 different hall of famers pictured. I will name all of the 24 hall of famers that I used, and if you decide to enter, you will have to match them up with the year of the card you think I used for that player. Here is an alphabetical list of the 24 hall of famers I used: Aaron, Ashburn Bench, Berra, Carew, Clemente, Ford, Kaline, Killebrew, Koufax, Mantle, Marichal, Mays, Mazeroski, Rizzuto, Roberts, F. Robinson, Ryan, Seaver, Snider, Stargell, Sutton, B. Williams, and T. Williams.

There will be only one guess allowed (with no editing), and the prize will be a nice package of mid-grade baseball stars and hall of famers from the 60's and 70's. The contest will close at 6PM EST on Sunday September 14th, at which time I will post the picture I took of the 24 hall of famers, and then a winner will be announced soon after that (depending on how long it takes me to go through all the answers) Good luck to everyone, and to keep it nice and uniformed, here is a template that you can all use:

I wont say who it is, but the early leader has 4 correct. In the event of a tie, I will add up each person's correct years (ie. 1953 + 1957 + etc....), and the higher total wins. Good luck.

Aww, is cutting and pasting too much work for you guys?

<< <i>Aww, is cutting and pasting too much work for you guys? >>



Modify the contest to: Which year was the Clemente?

That ought to get the ball rolling.

I still want your T218 set.

Sadly enough, even if your post had said "I must have one by now," it would be as incorrect as the sentence you did post.

Congrats on 5000+, Nick. I think you've provided a fair amount of insight and laughs to this forum. I suppose you can stay.

Too much Hefeweizen tonight to play the Match Game. I might have to go metalmike on these here boards, in fact. Hmm, grammar is still good, so maybe I won't go metalmike on y'all. I will leave you with this, though - you do spin me right 'round, you know.
