Amazin' Avenue Swag Contest: May Results

Congratulations to Endys Game, the winner of the Amazin' Avenue Swag Contest for May!

For winning the May contest, Endys Game claimed the Essential Games Of Shea Stadium DVD Set, which is a six-disc collection featuring some of the most memorable Mets games played at Shea in their entirety.

Having won a month, Endys Game 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 May:

Num	User	Score	# Games	Avg.	High
1	Endys Game	1194	27	44.2	72
2	anonymous	1169	28	41.8	70
3	kingcritical	1142	28	40.8	79
4	Durelo	1086	28	38.8	84
5	IanB in MD	1080	28	38.6	77
6	hotchipwillbreakyourlegs	1052	24	43.8	79
7	sireric	1018	24	42.4	80
8	RIPShea	1002	26	38.5	69
9	DevonEdwards	958	24	39.9	74
10	Sesmus	925	22	42	65

The full May scoreboard can be found here. 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; if you signed up at SB Nation with a junk email address, now is your chance to update that to your real one.

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 June.

I kept missing games

and just gave up about a week into May. I probably should have kept going for the 100, but oh, well. Hopefully June will be my month.

My goal in june

is to play every day. I missed one in may because of bad timing and two because of a funeral (and subsequent flying across the country). Very pleased to come in 6th regardless. This month I’ll even look at the starting pitchers before wildly guessing.

I played every day last year

It was always fun. I want to get the 100.

I miss way too many games to be competitive...

But I will flaunt my 45.2 pts/game average. NYAH NYAH

If I don’t win one of these months I am going to be really pissed. Can you win swag for trying a lot?

No night spent pantsless is a wasted night.

thanks, I def will

I am really looking forward to seeing the 69 footage and also Game 3 of 1986 NLCS in particular. I was at Game 3 as my uncle took me as a present for my 16th birthday and we actually sat in a corporate box. I remember when Lenny hit the home run, one pinstriped suit wearing dude got so excited, he almost did a header right out of the box. Good times.
