Now YOU can be just like the Babe and call your own shot! I've never done one of these before and I'm just making this up as I type. First off, the winner will receive $20. 1. Initial lineups will be due by 11:59 PM, THIS Friday night. (April 10th) 2. You will be picking 5 players. 3. You will need to designate a "Clean Up Hitter" each month. This player's home runs will count double. No player can be your Clean Up Hitter more than once. 4. Lineups run month to month. 5. You will be allowed to submit a new lineup of 5 each month. Those lineups will be due by 11:59 PM on the last day of the month before the month you're submitting the lineup for. If you fail/forget to submit a new lineup, your previous lineup will simply roll over. 6. You will also be given 5 "Baby Ruths" TOTAL. Not monthly, but 5 TOTAL for the entire season. A "Baby Ruth" can be used at anytime. A "Baby Ruth" is a wild card that can be used to replace any of your players with another player at ANY time. This obviously would come in handy for an injured player or perhaps somebody that just sucks hard. 7. If you choose to use a "Baby Ruth", that player's home runs will only count going forward. It is not retroactive to the 1st of the month. 8. Obviously whoever has the most home runs by the end of the contest wins. Good Luck!!

Interesting. Suggestions: 1) Get rid of "baby ruth" gimmick b) make it a draft - everyone picks 8 players and can only play 5 per month iii) one player per month can be your "clean up hitter" and his homers count double. Can't be cleanup hitter 2 months in a row. Lastly) I'll take my money now in large bill format

Can't be cleanup hitter 2 months in a row. Lastly) I'll take my money now in large bill format After careful consideration I've decided to go with the original rules. However, I love the "Clean up Hitter" gimmick. This will be added to the contest!

Time to start thinking about your May lineup!

Don't forget, folks. Gonna need your new starting 5 by 11:59 tomorrow night. (11:59 PM 4/30) Remember that you have to designate a new Clean Up Hitter. If you do nothing, your April lineup will roll into May. (You still need to tell me your designated C.U.H. or I'll pick one for you.)
