We Have a Winner!

I threw up a little contest to celebrate this blog's 450th post, it's 1st birthday, it's 120th follower and also to eat some humble pie after the Rays were victims of a perfect game for the second time in 2 years. I asked who the lone baserunner was during Vida Blue's no-hitter and 8 of you answered with all of the correct information. I entered the names at random dot org and randomized three times and we have a winner of the autographed Vida Blue postcard. It is:

Congrats to BA Benny! Send me your address again and I will send this out to you. Thanks to everyone for playing. Next contest I will have to find a more difficult question. I actually know what the next contest will ask, I just don't know what the prize will be yet. As some of you know I get all of my statistical information from Baseball Reference dot com and I sponsor several different pages. Many player pages are available to be sponsored for between 5 and 10 bucks a piece. These donations help keep the site going and they are a good way to connect with other fans of your favorite players. I now have sponsored 10 different player pages. In the next contest I will ask you guys to name all ten. Thats all for now, congrats to BA Benny! Off to work! Go Rays! troll out.

The Randomizer has SPOKEN!!!

I typed everyone's name into the randomizer and clicked it three times and the results are coming... I will have the list posted within an hour. I want to get a fresh greatest ever poll up first. Remember that number one on the list is NOT the winner. The winners will based on the pre-picked "lottery" numbers posted on the side bar. Number 21 will get first pick, #3 gets second choice with number 53, 42, 13 and 5 choosing in that order. I still do not have all of the cards in hand yet, so I won't be shipping anything out until next week, I just wanted to notify everyone today. It is the winner's responsibility to send me their address so I can ship the cards. If you are a winner, please claim which card you want (based on your picking order) in the comments so those choosing after you can pick. Thanks to everyone for reading this blog-knowing that people might be reading is what inspires me to write everyday... Thanks to everyone and stay tuned for more contests in the not too distant future. Go Rays! troll out.

The Randomizer has SPOKEN!!!

Greetings Trollites! I just finished posting a lengthy trade blog featuring Baltimore Orioles cards on my other blog. Please go check it out, if you like it, follow that blog, too. You will thank me for that advice tomorrow. Okay. Glad you came back. On Saturday I posted a quick contest for an autographed 4X6 photo of Chipper Jones. Someone tried to manipulate the rules and clog all the entries, but he was thwarted in his efforts. Ten people were able to enter and their names were all entered into a list on Random Dot Org. This was, incidentally, the first time I used this randomizer. It was REALLY EASY. Highly recommended. I asked an impartial third party and he recommended re-randomizing the list 3 times to really shake it up. That is what I did. I had a co-worker handle hitting the randomizer 3 times so I didn’t see who was on top the first and second time. Anyway, the randomizer has spoken and this is what Senor Random has decided.
List Randomizer
There were 10 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
1. 1. Captain Canuck
2. 6. Drew
3. 2. BA Benny
4. 9. Roy
5. 8. dayf
6. 7. Baseball
7. 4. RWH
8. 10. MMM Rhubarb
9. 5. Dog Faced Gremlin
10. 3. Pack Addict
I didn’t anticipate the result. I thought that the Captain had jinxed himself with his shenanigans, but once again, Canada prevails. Drew finished in second place and BA Benny finished 3rd. Since this was a surprise contest I didn’t plan second and third prizes, SO those 2 will get 2 extra slots in the next contest. Anyway, Mr. Canuck, I suppose I will send you your prize next week that means it should hit the border by April of 2013. Thanks to all who entered, there will be another contest on ONE of my 3 blogs really soon. Remember you MUST be a follower to enter. Congrats to Waxaholic. Go Rays! Troll out.
