CONGRATS to Jon Stadtmueller of Little Rock, Arkansas and his co-manager Josh Honeycutt as they held on for the NFBC Ultimate Auction League title and the $40,000 league prize. Jon and Josh were in a dogfight with Josh Blumenreich and Lowell Kaplan as they held on by 1 point for the league title. Finishing 3rd was Michael Stevens. Wow, what a finish.
The difference turned out to be batting average as Mudhen-Get Carter finished .0014 ahead of Bronx Beans. Had they flip-flopped in that category the results would have been the other way around. Crazy close.
But Jon would probably say the difference was Mike Trout. Jon had one roster spot left at the end of the Ultimate Auction and $3 left. He threw out a player who was already taken, so we asked him to throw out another player. Jon and Josh looked over their Cheat Sheets for one last outfielder to throw out and it was taking a long time after a long night. We said "c'mon Jon, who do you want?" Finally he said Mike Trout for $1. Someone bid $2 and Jon went $3. SOLD. It turned out to be the best $3 bid and the best last player on your roster in NFBC Auction history!! Nice job guys.
Here are the final standings of the NFBC Ultimate Auction League:
1 Mudhen-Get Carter 62.0 44.0 106.0 -2.0
2 Bronx Beans 46.0 59.0 105.0 0.0
3 Wiffle Ball Legends 60.5 40.0 100.5 0.0
4 BNBayers 55.0 36.5 91.5 0.0
5 Bama & Robinson 47.5 40.0 87.5 -1.5
6 coldwater coyotes 33.5 53.0 86.5 +0.5
7 Ricky Wins Again 51.0 34.0 85.0 -2.5
