Winner - CMCJR999 -- Hit Streak Contest - June

[katester44]

It is back again for another month - the Hit Streak Contest, June Edition will open up again on Friday June 1st.

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 Bench Userpage as a prize (GU's/Autos etc. not included). If I beat you, I get to pick any card off your Bench Userpage. Max Value of $5 card. The side contest is COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY.

The winner of the contest will get to choose one card from the following list:

2008 UD Timeline - Daric Barton AU #'d 02/99
1997 Donruss Signature Series - Marty Cordova AU Sequential #0791
2004 Upper Deck Etchings - Ronny Cedeno AU #'d 437/700
2011 Topps Lineage - Fausto Carmona AU
2002 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Classics - Steve Garvey GU Bat

Good luck - the contest officially starts Friday, June 1st.

June 1 - Derek Jeter, Yankees
June 2 - Adrian Gonzalez, Red Sox **STRIKE 1**
June 3 - Austin Jackson, Tigers **STRIKE 2**

June 5 - Albert Pujols, Angels
