Trivia Thursday

As of the writing of this post, the Baseball Hall of Fame results haven't been announced, but from what I have read, Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez are locks, with John Smoltz and Craig Biggio the next most likely to make it.  I am excited and look forward to hearing who made the 2015 class.


I wanted to announce that we are going to be starting a new competition this year.  Every Thursday at noon ET we will be posting a trivia question on the blog.  The first person to answer the question correctly by sending a tweet to me @RokTikiTiki with the hashtag #TriviaThursday will earn a point.

There are a couple of regulations that I want to lay out:
1) All questions will be baseball questions, sometimes relating directly to MLB Showdown, but not always.
2) While it is impossible to regulate this, please refrain from using an internet search engine to find the answer.  If you know it, congratulations!  If you have a fairly educated guess, give it a shot.  We ask for your honesty in following this guideline.
3) Twitter answers not including the hashtag #TriviaThursday or not sent to me @RokTikiTiki will not be counted.  Those sent to @MLBShowdownGuru do not count either.
*4) If no correct guess is made by the following Wednesday at noon ET, there will be no winner for that week.  A hint will be added on Friday, Monday, and Tuesday until there is a correct guess or the Wednesday deadline is reached.

Now, to the good stuff...the prizes.  This contest will run the entirety of 2015.  The player with the most points at the end of the year will earn 5 free custom cards.

@MLBShowdownGuru and @RokTikiTiki are not eligible to answer the questions and compete in this contest.  Feel free to contact me below or via Twitter with any questions you may have about the contest.  Points earned in #TriviaThursday do not carry over to #ShotsFriday and vice-versa.

*Edit made 11 am ET, Monday January 12th
