HR Pool 2024

[Nationals]

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).

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

[BlueJays]

Didn’t have 2 entries or just 1? I can’t remember

[BlueJays]

Acuna and Riley are fucking me hard though

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

Ended in 8th place despite getting 13 homers from Casas. Lengthy time missed by Kye Tucker didn't help either. But I'll take it. My buddy Woody ended up in 5th.

Congrats, Nick. How you hung on with two big missing pieces is beyond me. Usually, that spells doom.
