Scathe,

None of the links work.  Looks like there's an extra double-quote at the end of each link which is fudgeing it up.,

And what is our due date?

Scathe,

Sorry about that, Jeff.  I fixed it, so now it's in working order.

And what is our due date?


Voting ends once everyone has voted or March 31st, whichever comes first.

After reading and commenting on all of them, I've gotta say that they are all great. In fact, I'd say that they're all better than mine (I was looking over all of my parodies, and found it odd that I only have 2 sports ones, and neither of them very good). However, I've got to chose my votes, and here they are:
5 points to #4, "Jesse Orosco" by Jeff R.
4 to #2, "Chicago" by Guy D.
3 to #10, "Mantle" by Kimba T. D.
2 to #13, "Cubs and Sosa," by ARFoM
1 to #9, "Buffalo(and Minneapolis), by Rex U.

It was really hard to chose just 5, and even harder to order them. Great job to everybody involved, and best of luck!

I had no idea it would be so hard to pick and rank five of these. And if I did it again tomorrow, my rankings (and my top 5) would probably be different. Congrats to all for such good entries!

1. 5 points to "Mantle"
2. 4 points to "Master of the Outs"
3. 3 points to "Jesse Orosco"
4. 2 points to "The End of the Curse of Bambino"
5. 1 point to "Cubs and Sosa"

Here's my votes:

5pts=#6, Mike A
4pts=#15, John J.
3pts=#13, A Roomful of Monkeys
2pts=#12, Charlie D.
1pt=#8, Stuart M.

guy's link should say chicago - el paso is the original. Now i'll read that song and the rest of them.

5 points - Master of the Outs
4 points - The End of the Curse of Bambino
3 points - Cubs and Sosa
2 points - Buffalo(and Minneapolis)
1 point - Mantle

Apologies to Guy DiRito for the title mix-up.

Don't sweat it.  We're barely half way through the month.  There's no rush.

Thanks, but they'll be there tomorrow.

i hope nothing bad happened to kimba

Ethan, Kimba is fine, thanks for asking.  She has yet to give me her picks but I've threatened to ban her from the next NYC meeting if she doesn't do them tonight.  (She's a stubborn dog).
Thanks
bob
