That's 48 total entries. Regular readers may recall I like to use the stats from an upcoming baseball game to help ensure complete randomness with no funny business and add some extra excitement and fun. Let's not waste any more time and sort things out tonight (6/21). Since there's only one evening game, ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball it is: Giants at Dodgers.

The deal is I randomize all entries to assign numbers to them. Winning numbers will be as follows:
Grand Prize = The combined hit total of both teams in the game.
Bonus prize / 2nd place = Total at-bats the Dodgers have in the game
Bonus prize / 3rd place = Total number of strikeouts Giants pitchers throw in the game.

Any repeat number/winner will skip to the next number. As for zero (ie, the Giants don't get a strikeout), then #1 would be that winner. Any number over 48, we'll go back to the top (ie, #1 is also good for 49, 2 is also 50, etc). Hope this isn't too confusing.

Ok, let's randomize:


There you have it. Good luck, all!

Oh, and big thanks to everyone who entered. I know I was fishing for compliments, but it was still heartwarming to read all the sweet comments. Even Alex Markle popped out of retirement not to enter but just to say hi. How nice! So yeah, all the kind words from everybody are very appreciated and you great folks really help make blogging about baseball cards a lot of fun. Thanks again!




UPDATE

Congrats to our winners:

Grand Prize = The combined hit total of both teams in the game.

  2. I missed it, what was the answer to the mystery song question, I didn't know the answer.

    1. It was "Lovesong" by The Cure. A bit of a stretch as an "80s song", I'll admit, but it was released in 1989, so hey, it counts!

  4. Well, I didn't win, but at least the Dodgers stomped the Giants.
