Greetings Trollites! I am currently in Houston at the airport on a layover... I should be in OKC in a few hours. I wanted to share this photo which taken on December 26, 1991 of my little baby Zadeh (the one in the Santa suit). I thought I would share and embarrass him and let you know that there is still time to enter the contest. I may close it later tonight, maybe tomorrow, whenever I can get access. Basically, GUESS, guess and guess some more. Have fun with it... No one has come close to guessing his name yet, so that means that the world will have to wait for Revolving Door Generous. Go Rays! troll out.

Are You Ready for some FREE Cards? The CONTEST!!!
Okay. The contest. I will be hosting a special contest here at Troll at the Plate to commemorate getting 100,000 hits on this here blog. There are other things for me to celebrate, too, and that just makes it cooler (to me at least).
Before I get into the contest you will have to indulge me while I share some personal news. It DOES tie into the contest, so…
I, the Troll, am going to be a GRANDFATHER! Yes, a Grandfather. My oldest son Zadeh and his girlfriend Holly are expecting and have been for a while. The wife (Esther Gin N Juice) and I will be heading to Oklahoma City next week to hang out and hopefully meet our new grandson.
I say hopefully because he hasn’t been born yet.
There in is the contest.
I want you folks to guess what time he is born.
Pick a time, any time, once a day until he is born. The winner gets a prize of sweet vintage goodness which will include at least 3 Hall of Famers from the 1956 Topps set. I am not going to tell you who just yet, you are going to have to trust me on this one.
So, beginning today, you can guess a time. If you want to be more thorough, you can pick a day as a tie-breaker. That way more than one person can pick 7:00AM and the day will serve as the tie breaker. If you want to go one step further, you can try and guess his name. I will give you a hint, his name appears in this year’s Allen and Ginter set. It isn’t Prince, Carl, Ponce de Leon, Stegosaurus, Pan or Francisco, but you would be on the right track. So, my dear readers, you can start guessing immediately and closest to the minute will win a pile of 5 (at least) 1956 Topps baseball cards including at least 3 Hall of Famers.
The prizes are good, you want in, trust me. The prize will not be mailed out until after the New Year. I don’t get back to Floriduh until January 5, 2011. I will determine the winner then.
You can enter once a day every day until I close the contest. I will try and post daily to keep up. You can advertise on your blogs, BUT that doesn't give you any extra credit. You need to pick the time and be the closest. For example, if he is born at 7:58 AM and Joe guesses 7:55 and Bob guesses 8:00, Bob would win as he would be the closest. If Bill also picked 8:00, too, then we would go to the tie-breakers.
Okay, that’s it, comment away. Go Rays! Go Grandparents! Troll out.
