Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

Amazin' Avenue Swag Contest: June Results

Congratulations to anonymous, the winner of the Amazin' Avenue Swag Contest for June!

For those of you who are new to the site or who still don't know what the deal is, all of the information about the contest can be found in the left sidebar under "AA SWAG CONTEST". There you will find a link to the current game, the current month's scoreboard, and the contest rules. If you have any questions about the contest I ask that you read over the rules first. If anything is still unclear after reading them then by all means fire away.

For winning the June contest, anonymous claimed -- among several options -- the New York Mets 1986 Collector's Edition DVD Set, which is a nine-disc collection featuring Game 6 of the 1986 NLCS and all seven World Series games in their entirety.

Having won a month, anonymous is not eligible to win another monthly contest this season. If the Mets are fortunate enough to make the postseason we will have some sort of playoff contest, so he would be eligible for any prizes there. Also, there's a chance to win a prize every single game for racking up a perfect 100 on that day's contest, so he (or any other monthly winner) could still cash in there. It's not easy to score perfectly; you have to get all five questions right, including nailing the pitcher's game score right on the nose. However, this is a neat way for past winners to keep playing and for folks who missed a few games or joined the monthly contest too late to participate and still win a prize even if they are too far behind to win the monthly contest.

Here are the top ten scores for the month of June:

# User Score
1 anonymous 786
2 simons 763
3 IanB in MD 746
4 mmxii 731
5 beelzebot 681
6 kingcritical 633
7 Sireric 539
8 ams258 400
9 Prince 387
10 Sesmus 351

The full June scoreboard can be found here. You may notice the occasional duplicate entry because some folks have filled in forms using different e-mail addresses. As a reminder, the scores for the month are aggregated by username and e-mail, so make sure you use the same ones every day. Also, make sure the e-mail address you use matches the one you signed up with here on AA.

Thanks again to everyone who participated this month. I think we all had a lot of fun, and hopefully it made the games and the game chatters here a little more interesting. Here's to more fun and even more participation in July.

Good job, Anon. I made up some ground in the last week, but not nearly enough.

hooray me!

I feel I should unleash a “suck it, hataz!” or something similar but I’m too warmly disposed toward AA right now to make it convincing. I just managed to squeak this out before - and during - a lot of travelling. It takes a surprising amount of planning to make sure you end an eight-hour drive in time to fill out the night’s swag form! Fortunately (for the rest of you) my wild-ass guesses will be out of the running now for a while.

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.
