It's HR Pool time!

The place to come to talk about all things IBC related. Or not IBC related. Just keep it reasonably respectful.

It's HR Pool time!

Post by Guardians »

You know what it is...in the last three years, IBC members have cracked the top 20 every year, including Jake Levine winning it all once.
For a $5 entry, you pick one player from each of the A,B,C,D lists and three players not named on any lists. Whoever has the most total home runs at season's end wins. Payouts range from $1-2,000 for first down to about $200 through 20th place. It varies based on number of entries.

Can you put a player not on a major league roster in the three other players?

Probably doubts the player playing 81 games "IN" Safeco Field. Tough place for a right handed power hitter to make a living.
