Contest Winners!
Posted by at 1:46 pm ET 53 Comments

Hey, who’s ready to check their answers against the book contest answer key and find out which three lucky contestants will be the recipients of the all-time #1 bestselling book in the long, storied history of the Triumph Books publishing company*, “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: Heart-Pounding, Jaw-Dropping, and Gut-Wrenching Moments From Philadelphia Phillies History” by Todd Zolecki foreword by Scott Franzke?

Not so fast, pal. Let me explain how I picked the winners.

First of all, thanks to everyone who entered. I was literally overwhelmed by the response we got from this contest, and I normally like to do things at night other than sit on the computer and grade ridiculous quizzes, so I decided against going through each individual e-mail to mark for accuracy and instead opted for letting everyone become eligible. That’s right — if you went 8-for-8? YOU’RE ELIGIBLE! 3-for-8? Fuggit, YOU’RE ELIGIBLE TOO! Honestly, the point of having the quiz was to weed out the people who can enter a contest willy-nilly from those who had to at least use their brain a little bit. And as my reward to you, if you even attempted to answer to questions, you got 100%.

haha, I’d be the shittiest teacher.

    Not such relevant news to this, but any one with an Xbox 360 (or PS3, I suppose) can download the MLB 2k10 demo starting today. The demo allows you to play 3 innings in Yankees Stadium as either the Philadelphia Phillies or the 27-time World Champion New York Yankees, for whom I will be a starting pitcher this upcoming season!

    Be sure to check out the full game, and also shop MLB.com to get your authentic Chan Ho Park New York Yankees jersey before the season starts!

  • Chad Kreuter

  • Watrick

    no honorable mentions? Come on! I changed my answers around to be the order of the lineup, and I get no love for my creativity. You’re right, you should be a shitty teacher. I’d be one of those students you lost because they felt no love. I’m about to start walking the halls for no reason…

  • Joe D

    Chad Kreuter….nice.

  • olo567

  • MaxL

    Whatever, I just won an autographed baseball from DIRK MOTHERFUCKIN HAYHURST. Yeah, let that sink in for a while.

    Hurts, don’t it?

  • http://www.majorleaguejerk.com Gonzo

    Max, I used to cut myself just to know that I can feel pain. Now, I will just read that comment.

  • Colin_K

    Printed it, finished it, didn’t submit it…don’t deserve to comment on it, oh wait…

  • BigMiles

    Victory! I feel like Brad Lidge after he struck out Hinske! (Ah shit I just twisted my knee during the celebration….I will probably blow 50% of the questions in the next quiz)

  • Sal Fasano’s Beard

    So im disappointed in JRoll not making any more predictions. He’s showing weakness. His predictions got us where we got the last two seasons.

  • Zeke
  • Pioneer

    “haha, I’d be the shittiest teacher.”
    -Not in NJ

    @Zeke i think he lives on a road lined with mansions. same place mcnabb was originally rumored to have moved and where one of boyz II men moved.

  • The Lone Filafel

    I got all the answers right after you posted them. Do I win anything?

  • http://www.myspace.com/gabriellejuliet Gabrielle

    @BigMiles I totally just LOLed.

  • Joe D

    Zeke…I used to live in West Deptford and went through Woolwich Twp. many times. There are a ton of beautiful homes there and it is set back. I’m surprised more athletes don’t live there as opposed to Moorestown which is a little more accesible.

  • http://twitter.com/gregotto gregotto

    wait, Amandah didn’t win ball girl? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

  • Bobby D

    is it fair to assume that nobody else on the team loves ice cream?

  • phils43

    disappointed in myself, mixed up chase & werth

  • jerseyfresh

    zeke.. i live bout 10-15 mins from jrolls place. its a nice ass development and hes got a big nice house. kolb lives in the same development as him 2…

  • Watrick

    I’ve never been to JRoll’s house, but I’ve been in his car. Drove it once, actually. Well, parked it. I almost took his AMEX that was in the slot on the door. Not to spend anything, really, just to have a a credit card with his name, and the signature on the back.

  • Joe D

    @Bobby D…..Cory Lidle was a well-known fan of cream of the ice variety. Arthur Rhodes told us so. In a way Arthur is responsible for his death.

  • Joe D

    @jerseyfresh….some of those homes in Woolwich Twp. are like god damn mansions. A woman my dad works with said she has seen J-Roll out a few times and he’s always super nice to her and her younger kids. Not surprising at all. Victorino would probably just eat the kids and then throw them up onto a t-shirt and call it a clothing line.

  • That Guy

    @Joe D… when you mentioned a t-shirt in that last post I just got the best idea ever. Meech should totally make a Birdland shirt that about Werth’s beard. That’d be amazing.

  • Bobby D

    Funny story about Cory Lidle. He originally didn’t like ice cream when he was a small child but his mother would coax him into eating it by using the “here come the airplane!” method. He’d often keep his mouth closed and the “airplane” would just crash right into his face like the wall of a highrise building.

    $10.17 is way too much to pay for anything written by Todd Zolecki. I get his tweets for free!
