Let’s Play A Game

We’re still not anywhere near first pitch, but the weather is improving somewhat and folks are starting to stream in wearing their red. The first-pitch tosser, a guy named Bush, should be in the park by now and warming up.

In the meantime, let’s play a little game. You may recall that in a previous life, we had a pitching-oriented game. Well, apparently my intellectual property had to remain at the old home. So, instead, let’s go focus on hitting. But we will have a prize for this game. I promise.

It’s a simple game, really. All I want to know is: Who hits the Rangers first homer of the season? You give me the player, the inning, the count and the number of people on base. If you want, you can give me an estimated distance, in the event two people nail all the other stuff directly, the closest to the distance would serve as our tiebreaker.

Here’s a sample entry:

Nelson Cruz, second inning, 2-0, bases empty, 392 feet.

See it’s simple. Go.
