This is mostly right. Thrills of baseball. No skill required. And for up to 30 players. It’s the return of our (now annual) 13-run baseball pool!
Our 13-run baseball pool is back! Pick a team, sit back and cheer (or jeer). That is all there is to it. The first person whose team scores 14 different run totals from 0-13 starting MLB Opening Day on March 28 is the winner.
Last year we ran this two times over the MLB season. The inaugural pool started May 1, with member brentnap winning the American League side thanks to the Cleveland Indians. Yours truly won the National League side thanks to the Milwaukee Brewers. It finished July 8, which I am told is fairly quick for 13-run baseball pool standards.
The second pool started July 1. We crowned member MabeRuth the NL winner with, again, the Brew Crew. In the AL, no team got to 14 check marks and it ended in a four-way tie for first.

To join our 2019 version, simply comment below stating the team you want to select. No one can have the same team, so check the available teams and comments before posting. That is all there is to it, and I will update the table.
Last year we ran separate AL and NL contests, but we will for now limit to one team per member. The only other rule I think worth mentioning is we will start counting stats on March 28, and not include the games played in Japan on March 20 and 21. Sorry Athletics and Mariners, backers.
I am taking the Colorado Rockies this year. Good luck!
