[MENTION=3744]cjedmonton[/MENTION] never disappoints with his prizes! MLB.TV is an incredible gift from a great member! Just want to say thanks again to [MENTION=3744]cjedmonton[/MENTION] for the great contest. I had a blast looking up the random old box scores and thinking "he played with them?" for a few guys or the "man, he did have a couple of incredible years." Thanks for the great contest Chris!

That was easy. Enjoy!

[MENTION=5359]clarkzac[/MENTION], I appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

As for the consolation draw, I have a final challenge for the following folks:

[MENTION=2196]Ashburn Alley[/MENTION] [MENTION=2671]aarne13[/MENTION] [MENTION=5359]clarkzac[/MENTION] @game****fanatic [MENTION=10072]Juan Gris[/MENTION] [MENTION=4428]MrMet[/MENTION] [MENTION=4047]mrmopar[/MENTION] [MENTION=3132]Pine Tar[/MENTION] [MENTION=2122]robertwolf1[/MENTION] [MENTION=1928]Y4NK335[/MENTION]

Using Google Maps, see how far your home town is from both Target Field in Minneapolis and Kaufman Stadium in Kansas City. Simply enter the city/state you live in and the ballpark. No other info.

Post your mileage for both in this thread.

Whoever is closest to each stadium takes home a consolation prize. Max. one prize per contestant.

The deadline for entering this is 10pm Eastern on Saturday, March 7.

Nowhere close enough:

1680 to Target
1871 to Kaufman

I would probably win furthest away from both/either.
