AND THE DVD CONTEST WINNERS ARE...

Hello again on this beautiful Sunday morning. BOTH winners will receive the A&E Home Video 6 DVD production named THE ESSENTIAL GAMES OF FENWAY PARK. And they are...

Gary J. (from Connecticut!) and....
Jarret Boon.

Guys, c'mon down! Oops, wrong show. I'm no Bob Barker anyways. Gary hit it right on the head with his guess of 18 and Jarret was the next closest, one number away, with a guess of 19. If someone had guessed 17 or 18, there would have been playoff action, but Gary and Jarret, you have my congratulations and I will email each of you within the hour. And to all the other friends who entered, THANK YOU. And I'm talking to Darren, Soxy Lady, BFW (Chuck), Keith, Jerry, and last and assuredly least (kidding!!), Sully. Thank you all. THAT MAGIC NUMBER WAS 18. It means life, or chai, in Hebrew. So to all, l'chaim (to life!).

Here's a preview of today's game... yes, NO Papi!
