[Greg Ambrosius]

Rich Barry is the latest winner of our NFBC/Fanball $50/50 Teams Contest and the latest winner of our FREE 2026 NFBC Main Event entry. Barry topped 50 participants last night to become our 15th winner of the FREE 2026 NFBC Main Event. We again sold out last night's contest and will continue again next Friday with another contest.

Rich was led by Nick Kurtz who had 110 POINTS in a historic outing. He became the first rookie hitter with four home runs in a game and he tied an MLB record with 19 Total Bases. If you didn't have Nick Kurtz last night you weren't winning!!!
