C'mon nickelsearcher, you're the last one standing for the lads from NYC, Let's Gooooooooooo.

I believe that would require a World Series first of coming back from a 3-0 deficit, but it isn't completely without precedent!

He may yet. Despite tonight's loss, he still contributed 75% of LA's runs.

Sorry man

It was a bold move considering the match up and it almost played out. It certainly added some drama to this contest.

I don't watch sports so:

4-7 games
Some number of runs
Some player

I can't lose!
It is not enough to merely enjoy coins; one must Advocate for them!

It would, although Boston did so in the 2004 ALCS by winning the last 4 games against the Yankees.

The Yankee bats finally woke up last night - so it's still game on.

Thank you, spruett, for masterminding this contest! Without it as motivation, I would not have watched any of the games. Instead, I was treated to some excellent (and some not so excellent) baseball!
And congratulations to the winner!

The fat lady sings!

With more dominance than I expected, the Dodgers have taken the highest trophy in baseball to end the 2024 season. Here is the final tally:

Winner: LAD
Games: 5
Runs: 49
MVP: Freddie Freeman

We have two winners!

Being one of only two contestants to correctly choose the winning team and number of games, I6609 claims the Grand Prize for guessing within 7 runs of the actual total scored!

But wait, there's more... I6609 was also the first contestant to correctly identify Freddie Freeman as the MVP, thus claiming the Bonus Prize!

Coming in a close second, kurdlezuit was the only other contestant to correctly guess the winner and number of games required. Guessing 16 runs above the actual total means they will claim the 2nd Prize!

Winners, please message me your shipping info and I will get your prizes in the mail ASAP!

Thank you to all who participated. It was fun! Till next time....

Spruett001 thanks for the contest it was fun to follow around and congratulations to kurdlezuit as well. I seem to be having trouble turning on my pm I did this about a year ago . Never turned it off. Anyhow went back and reread how to turn it on when I click on my username I don't see my ccf it's nowhere on my page. Tried signing out and back in. Still no my ccf. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again Spruette and congratulations 16609 on the win.

A fun contest to follow and provide some excitement, even if we aren't very sports oriented.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
