Holiday Weekend

Excuse Me?

Lords and Ladies,

Who voted for Paul Bako in the poll? Such an answer is as big of a joke as he is. My hopes of Mr. Bako seeing this poll with no votes in his favored have been dashed. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Song of the Day

Dean is the Winner

High five to Dean who won the Opening Day Trivia Contest. Now, you must make some decisions.

I can mail you the cards very soon or I can give them to you at the Football Draft or even next season Baseball Draft. OR i can keep them here, i can keep them all together and safe and as we run other contests, you can trade certain cards from your collections you've won on HandyJ with other winners.

example: You can trade your 2010 Allen & Ginter's Miguel Montero card with another teams card from a winning contest.

So like fun, eh? Just let me know via comment, text, email, phone call, pony express, smoke signal, blood message, mind bullet... Just no tweets or facebook. I pay no mind to that jumble of competitive haves and have nots, pictures, purchases and other b.s. Good day and may the Winds of Victory give you prizes and me a Championship. Bazinga.

HandyJ Opening Day Trivia Giveaway!

In order to win this great prize pack (see scans below), you must correctly answer the following trivia.

Question 1: Played consecutive seasons for a Chicago team from 2003-2004. He is a part owner of a bat manufacturing company. His most successful season was his rookie year in 1998 when he hit .272-3-30. Made the last out of the 2003 NLCS by flying out to left field. *I had incorrectly put NLDS instead of NLCS. Many Apologies. It should be 2003 NLCS.

Question 2: This 2005 AL all-star retired in 2009 after pitching for the Padres, Marlins, Cubs and Red Sox. He currently coaches high school basketball for his alma mater, Butler Senior High School. 

Question 3: Now dead, this former NL MVP never played for the Cardinals. He did win a NL pennant and 3 gold gloves at third base. Must have been something about playing near the "lines" (hint hint), because he finished his career by playing 33 games at first base for Atlanta in 2001.

If you know the answers, be the first to post in the comment section below! You may guess as many times as you like!
