While we await the outcome of the 2017 MLB playoffs to determine the MillersTime contest winners in four of the six contests, I can announce the winner(s) in Contest # 4.
(I previously announced the winner in Contest #5 about the 2017 All Star game.)
Contest # 4:
A. Which MLB team will have the best improvement in their games won over 2016?)
B. Which MLB team will have the biggest decline (most losses compared to 2016)?
What actually happened:
Best Improvement:
1. Minnesota Twins: + 26
2. Arizona Diamondbacks: +24
3. Houston Astros: +17
Biggest Decline:
1. San Francisco Giants: -23
2. Detroit Tigers: -22
3. Texas Rangers & New York Mets: -17
Winners:
No one got both A & B correct.
Ten of you had the Twins with the best improvement – Dawn Wilson, Todd Endo, Rob Higdon, Matt Eisner, Jesse Maniff, Ellen Miller, Tiffiany Lopez, Jeff Friedman, Matt Wax-Krell, Justin Stoyer
Nick Fels was the only one to predict the Giants loss of 23 games.
Since Contest #4 involved getting both right, by the power invested in me by me, I declare the following the Winners:
Todd Endo, Jeff Friedman, Rob Higdon, & Dawn Wilson. They all got A correct and all had the Rangers for B.
and
Meg Gage who had the second place team in A & B – Diamondbacks & Tigers.
So, Todd, Jeff, Rob, Dawn, and Meg, please send me your T-Shirt size, your home address, and your commitment to wear the T-shirt at least once during the 2018 baseball season.
