Ack! I forgot to put my username next to the Red Sox, but I don’t want to edit my post. No worries if that voids my entry

SIGNUP CLOSED. Thanks to all who entered!

@gamecockfanatic

Nice idea, but since we ended up with 16 entries, there are not enough teams remaining for everyone to claim a second.

At the very least, someone is guaranteed a date prize. I never mentioned having to be the closest without going over, so if there is a tie for the closest (over/under), each will win a Paypal gift.

Good luck to all!

Chris

*The signup started with 19,944 players. As of this morning, it is showing 19,962. At this rate, we should hit 20k by mid-late May.

When I entered this contest with the Mariners, I was dreaming that it would be Jarred Kelenic to be the 20,000th!! Actually pretty close, only 13 away!!! Came way sooner than my June 8th prediction, though!!!!

25 new players since April 26th, we may be one or two weeks away!!

Very close! Although we’re sure to hit 20k before June 8, you still have a shot at a prize if Seattle calls up Julio or some other prospect.

I'm golden if five new players get called up tonight

 

[mrmopar]

It appears my guess was exactly that...A GUESS and a poor one, at that! Next time I need to pout a bit more thought into it.

 

[cjedmonton]

We have our 20,000th player!

Jose Godoy of the Mariners will forever hold that cool distinction.

Employee No. 20,000: M's C makes MLB history

Mariners backup catcher Jose Godoy made history on Friday, as he became the 20,000th player to make his MLB debut.
