The Presidential Home Run Pool

Filed under Contests and Promotions, Home run pool

We are all awaiting the arrival of my neighbor and soon-to-be pal President George W. Bush for the dedication of the new Presidential Suite at Rangers Ballpark. He’ll apparently be making brief remarks, but taking no questions. Though if I do get a chance, I’ll ask him to enter the home run pool. I’ll also ask him to follow me on Twitter.

In the meantime, though, you can start filling up the pool with picks for tonight. Here’s the Rangers lineup against Houston RHP Brandon Backe:

2B Ian Kinsler, 3B Michael Young (who is 10-for-13 in his career against Backe), DH Hank Blalock, RF Nelson Cruz, LF David Murphy, CF Marlon Byrd, 1B Chris Davis, C Taylor Teagarden, SS Elvis Andrus and pitching for the Rangers … RHP Vicente “El Presidente” Padilla.

Don’t let W beat you to the best selections.
