Wekse, these are two pics of the sig portions of the bats. The bats themselves are the same -- blonde Rawlings Big Sticks, supposed to be the same size, but the Rios bat is about 1/4" longer.

 

Felix Pie

Sorry the Rios is fuzzy, but you get the gist.

 

Let me know which one you prefer. Thanks!!

 

(and congrats!!)

[Laura]

No, I'm not sure what all Felix included in his sig.

[Laura]

Hello, Wekse?!?!

 

Sitemailed as well.

 

Whichever bat he doesn't choose flips over to Predictions.

[wekse]

pm sent.....alex rios it is! sorry felix....but look on the brightside, rios will undoubtedly blow out his knee in career ending fashion since i will own a piece of his memorabilia.

[Laura]

Thanks, Wekse!

[wekse]

*BUMP*

 

 

i know this is kinda late...but i got the bat and it's pretty sweet....i look forward to winning this again next season.

[Laura]

yay!

 

I just kind of figured that no news was good news on that front.

[Clem Fandango]

Congrats, Weske. Those are nice looking prizes. Looking back, I am ashamed of my picks...

 

Group A: Ryan Howard

Group B: Alfonso Soriano, Adam Dunn

Group C: Vladimir Guerrero, Carlos Lee, Nick Swisher

Group D: Adrian Gonzalez, Morgan Ensberg, Mark Teahen, Miguel Tejada, Juan Rivera

Wild Card: Luke Scott

 

Juan Rivera? Luke Scott? Ensberg? Seriously me? What were you thinking, I know better than this. lol.

 

Congrats again on the win. Will the Felix Pie bat be held over for next year's competition?

 

EDIT: Hmmmmmm, BBCode is disabled on this thread? Oh well
