2013 MillersTime Baseball Contests

A few changes for this year’s contests in response to some readers’ suggestions.

Primarily, I have de-emphasized the Sox and Yankees (only one contest involves these two teams), and I have tried to allow for your specific interest in a favorite team, a favorite player, and/or your baseball knowledge (or lack of it also) in general.

Contest #1:

Make a prediction about the 2013 MLB baseball season.

Baseball Contests, Baseball Predictions, MillersTime Baseball Contests

The signs are all around us.

The football season is, finally, coming to an end.

There will be an announcement tomorrow about the new inductees to Cooperstown.

References are appearing to the number of days until ‘Truck Day,’ ‘Pitchers and Catchers,’ Spring Training, etc.

Two of my three Nats’ ticket partnerships have had their drawings for 2013 tickets.

Life is beginning to stir again.

Which brings me to thoughts of the annual MillersTime Baseball Contests.

As most of you know, I offer six contests each year based upon contestants predictions for the coming baseball season. The prizes are good ones – seats at future baseball games, often playoff ones. Even if not everyone claims his/her prizes! (To see the questions and results of last year’s contest, use this link.)

And it’s an equal gender contest as about half of the winners are consistently of the female persuasion (three of six in 2012).

So as I fashion this years contests, I’m calling for ideas on what would make for good questions. In the past, I’ve asked about your best single prediction for the coming season, who would be in and win the World Series, how well would the Nats do, what would happen with the Red Sox and Yankees’ seasons, etc.?

But I am open to some new questions, some new contest ideas.

Hopefully, some of you will send ideas for questions for the 2013 MillersTime Baseball Contests.

You can do so by emailing me (Samesty84@gmail.com) or putting your question(s) in the Comment section of this post.

Thanx in advance.

Go Sox.

Baseball Contests, MillersTime 2012 Winners

This year was not a good one for MillersTime baseball prognosticators.

In most of the Baseball Contest categories, except for how well the Yankees would do, contestants failed miserably to come even close to what happened this year.

Overwhelmingly, you said the Angles would beat the Phillies in the World Series, the Nats would improve to 85-77 (not bad but not close as they were 98-64), and the best you could do on choosing Division leaders at the All Star break was three out of six.

The one area that had some life was in Contest #1, making a prediction about the 2012 year.  There were 10 predictions that came true, and in a close vote, readers gave the victory to the prediction that the Nats would be in the playoffs.

Here then is a summary of the winners for 2012:
