Contest Time – ‘3rd Annual Pick The Award Winners Contest’
Yep. Another fun contest being held by your good friend at ’30-Year Old Cardboard’.
I did this contest at the end of the last three seasons and it was very fun to see who everyone was predicting to win the post-season awards. So this year I’ll be holding a similar contest with just a slight change in how it will be played.
On to the rules. To qualify for the contest all you have to do is select who you think will win the Rookie Of The Year awards, Cy Young Awards, and Most Valuable Player award in both leagues. Each correct answer will earn you 2 points. To make things interesting, I will also award an additional point if you correctly name the second place player for the 2 MVP awards. In total you have to submit 8 players and designate who will finish in first and second place in the MVP race.
A correct entry will look something like this:
AL ROY –
NL ROY –
AL Cy –
NL Cy –
AL MVP Winner –
AL MVP 2nd –
NL MVP Winner –
NL MVP 2nd –
Entries are due by midnight on Wednesday so get your homework done and submit your picks quickly so you’re eligible to win.
And what is the prize, you ask?
How about this? A 1983 Donruss Tony Gwynn Rookie Card!!!!
Great prize, huh?? Yeah, I thought you would like it!!!
Sound like fun? Then submit your picks into the comments section of this post. Good Luck!!!
