WINNER - sgbt4 - please close - September Hit Streak Contest

[katester44]

It is back again for another month - the Hit Streak Contest, September Edition will open up again on Saturday, September 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.

Only one tried the side contest last month - Gonavy beat the host and got a gratis card!

**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 following list:

1997 Donruss Signature Series - Marty Cordova AU Sequential #0791
2011 Topps Lineage - Fausto Carmona AU
