I will be hosting this year's Homerun Contest for those who are interested in playing. Big thanks to Dylan for doing this in the past (hopefully in the future again as well).
For those who are new, this is a simple*contest*that runs throughout the season. The goal of the game is to pick one player on the Jays that you think will hit a home*run during each game. You do not need to make a pick each game and you can join in whenever you want. The rules will stay similar this year. The season will still be divided into two halves and the top 10 members from each half will enter a three round playoffs. Please post any questions you may have. Good luck everyone.. Let's go Jays!
