The Yankees, Giants, Dodgers, and Mets?

Old trivia question.... Did they have to wear the Dodgers & Giants uniforms as NYer's or at anytime?

Old trivia question.... my guess is Casey Stengel.............wish I could have said that in Stengelese [/QUOTE]Bingo!

Stengel had a managing career that will never be duplicated.

He started his managing career with eight losing seasons out of nine, including last place finishes four times in an eight league league.

Won 10 pennants.

Then ended his career with four last place finishes.

Amazing really.

Amazing really. Torre had a similar start and heart of his career. However, as bad as he was he didn't suck enough with the Dodgers.

Dan - are you guys still on Team #12?

DOUGHBOYS · Post by **DOUGHBOYS** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 12:24 pm

We are still on team 12.

I have lists for the other teams, so we're close...

Anyone have a number for Bruce?

Though we didn't win, I'm still very curious to see who did!

Dan I sent you an email this morning. You didn't resend it

[/QUOTE]Just got home and resent.....to the correct E-mail address.

Sorry guys. I actually sent Dan an E-mail with my picks at 8:30am this morning knowing I'd be out all day and not wanting to hold things up.

When I checked the site and saw Dan was still waiting on my picks, I figured he either just missed the E-mail or it went to spam. So for the first time in my entire life, I actually posted something from a phone thinking I was giving him a head's up.

When I got home and checked, I see that I actually misspelled his E-mail address. Sorry again guys for holding things up, feel like a jerk. I forwarded the email sent this morning to the correct address just now and Dan should now have my picks.

On another point, the first cards I ever bought and my favorite set to date is the '75 Topps set. A very unique set that still holds a special place in my heart.

[/QUOTE]The 1975 set is easily my favorite. A couple of years ago I set out to get a complete graded '75 set. I didn't finish it, but I really enjoyed just searching out the cards.

Russell if you need just a few cards to complete that set, let me know

DOUGHBOYS · Post by **DOUGHBOYS** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 12:50 pm

Alright guys, I have all the picks!

I'll be sending them to Todd in the next few minutes....

I have 2 complete un-graded sets and a ton of extras

Todd has all the info.

Have you guys talked about how you would like him to offer the final standings?

I do have a full ungraded set though. I bought one a few years back and really enjoyed going through those cards and the memories it brought back of doing so as a young baseball fan, buying cards, hoping a Met or an All-Star was in every pack, flipping cards, etc. One of the strong memories of my childhood in Brooklyn.

Suburban Strugglers · Post by **Suburban Strugglers** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 12:59 pm

I think we should just post who every one took in each round and then the standings. I mean you could do it one round at a time or all at once, it really does not matter to me either way.

DOUGHBOYS · Post by **DOUGHBOYS** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 1:01 pm

Last round, 13 teams got their first pick.

two teams got their second pick.

Navel Lint · Post by **Navel Lint** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 1:01 pm

Not sure how Todd is entering the data. I would like to see the updated standings after each blind round is included. 5---10--16--23

Id prefer roll through each blind round one at a time, then the final standings
