Blue Jays First Home Run Contest Thread

Dylan · September 2, 2013

FHRC would be so fun if our team was contending/power bats weren't injured

Next season will be more fun when we can start for the beginning.

Still deciding between all home runs or just the first.

Abomination · September 2, 2013

First home runs, if we decide all home runs then everyone would just pick Edwin every game. 40 home runs, easy 40 points

Could always do something like a significant bonus for getting the first home run correct, or perhaps all home runs after the first are only worth 1 point. The nice thing is that you still have something extra to cheer for throughout the season rather than someone hitting one in the first and you're done.

Easy 4 points for Sumo!

1 point for every home run after the first is a good idea. I'll probably get rid of the extra points for how many runs the homer was. Bonus for just grandslams, walkoffs and multi game.

I love waking up to good news. Yay me!

SumoNinja · September 2, 2013
