Update: ‘Who will win’ contest

A month ago, we challenged readers to predict the eight major league teams that would make the postseason. Most of the races seemed easy to call at that point. But…

Nearly everyone got the American League right, but the NL’s wild finish tripped up most contestants. Just four people—about 10 percent of the entrants—were able to name all eight Division Series teams. So, give a high-five to:

Gerald Andriole

Daniel Bruner

Allen Freye

Kyle Lobner

First tiebreaker to win a copy of the 2011 Hardball Times Annual: The four League Championship Series teams. We’ll let you know how that goes. And thanks to everyone who entered.
