June Hit Streak Contest - WINNER SCC76

[katester44]

It is back again for another month - The Hit Streak Contest, June Edition will open up on Saturday, June 1st. Congrats to our first two winners - fatrat & anglinomics.

Basic rules- pick a player, if he gets a hit, you are good. If for whatever reason he doesn't get a hit that day, you will get a strike. This time around, we will go with three strikes and you are out, rather than one and done. And there will be no minimum number of games needed to be played to win. Once you have selected a player, you can not choose him again. Your pick must be made prior to the FIRST GAME of the day. Pretty basic stuff.

Twists this time around:
1 - mentioned above - once you get a third strike, you are eliminated rather than one and done.
2 - I am hosting a side contest for those interested. I am participating in the contest and anyone who would like to challenge me is welcome. If you are interested in the challenge, just note it with your first pick. If you beat me, you can pick any card off of my Blog Tradelist as a prize (GU's/Autos etc. not included). If I beat you, I get to pick any card off your Trade Page. Max Value of $5 card. The side contest is COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY.

**Please edit your initial post with your picks**
**Please include the players team name with your pick**

The winner of the contest will get to choose one card from the A list and one card from the B list:

A LIST:

Question for the judge. I picked Brandon Belt yesterday. I didn't know they were playing a doubleheader. He didn't have a
hit the first game but did the 2nd game. Do I have a strike or since he did have a hit am I okay?

Thanks Stanley

Haven't checked games yet, but if he got a hit in either end of a double header, you are good.
