The World Series is over, and the results of the 2009 Good Phight World Series Prediction Contest are in. Congratulations to ScottAZ for getting 6 points in the context. FuquaManuel tied ScottAZ, but as the rules state, I did a random drawing and ScottAZ won. I'll be contacting ScottAZ shortly about the prize.
Here are the answers to each question asked in the contest.
-
Cliff Lee wins: 2
-
Ryan Howard home runs: 1
-
Shane Victorino and Jimmy Rollins stolen bases (combined total): 3
-
Eric Bruntlett plate appearances: 1
-
Phillies starting pitcher innings not by Cliff Lee or Pedro Martinez: 10.3
-
Brett Myers innings pitched: 1
- Jimmy Rollins walks: 5
-
Brad Lidge saves: 0
-
Alex Rodriguez hits with runners in scoring position: 2
-
Mariano Rivera runs allowed: 0
- World Series outcome (victor and # of games): Yankees in 6
A couple of entries are worth noting. Sept.28.Oct.27.Dec.28.2008 had 5 points, the highest point total for an entry not guessing the correct outcome of the Series. (Both ScottAZ and FuquaManuel guessed Yankees in 6, which was worth 3 points.) And Phils 2036 World CH guessed correctly that Jimmy Rollins would have 5 walks, something I consider an absurd guess and outcome!
Thanks to all for playing. Let's do this again next October!
