HR Pool 2024

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

HR Pool 2024

Post by Guardians »

Hi guys,

Every year for at least the last 30-35 years, a group of guys has put together what they simply call the Home Run Pool. A guy creates four lists of sluggers. You have to pick 1 guy off each list and then three "at-large" players (who don't appear on any lists). Have the most HR at the end of the year, win money. $25 entry. Last year's winners tied and split $3,000. It's fun, it's zero-maintenance and it updates daily. Please check it out. Share with friends, family, coworkers. Entries are submitted online and payment via Paypal. (I have others, if necessary).

Now that the season is about two months in and IBC is just about at Opening Day, it's a good time for a HR Pool update.

Our own Nick Perry holds the early lead among the 190 or so participants with 81 total HR. He's +2 over 2nd place at the moment.
The rest of the IBC field:

Z: 71
Pat G: 68
Jim B: 66
Matt K: 65
JB (we'll still count him): 64
John A: 60
Pat G2: 59
JP: 55
Brett D: 52
Brett D2: 51
Dave T: 49
JP2: 49
Pat G3: 48
JP3: 45

How many of the low totals picked Acuna? Is that part of the struggles?

19 entries have Acuna. Same list with Olson, Ohtani, Judge, Alonso, Schwarber, Alvarez, so that's a tough one to deal with.
