***NEW CONTEST***

The winner of this contest will have their choice of

A) One (1) free double cheeseburger from McDonald's, redeemable by hanging out with me. (Item can be substituted for other dollar menu item.)

or

B) One (1) Deuce McAllister Game-Used Jersey card, courtesy of Fleer Authentix.

or

C) One (1) Chris Kaman game-used card, courtesy of Upper Deck.

To do this, you have to figure out what all of the following players have in common:

Jon Garland, Ben Sheets, Eric Chavez, Jaret Wright, Michael Tucker, Carl Everett, Charles Johnson, Robin Ventura, and Mark McGwire.

Also, you have to tell what makes one of these players different from the others, which is related to how they are similar.

No hints, no begging, but it is discernable using the internet.

That's all.

Mike

John, you can win this contest as I put a non-card related prize in.

I like how Adam Dunn and the Oakland A's are personally doing us in. The A's are now the team I dislike the most in baseball, though I still got some love for Barry Zito.

I told everyone the NL West was bad, although I clearly thought too much of the Padres. Geez. It's a good thing these teams get to play each other down the stretch, at least we know that somebody has to win.

Sorry John, that's not right.

The correct answer:

All are baseball players. However, Carl Everett doesn't believe in dinosaurs, which is stupid.

It's too close to call, both of you actually submitted correct answers; however, ties go to first answer.

Expect a lawsuit.

Yes, but if the lawsuit requires you to physically drive to an unknown location, I think I'm safe.

Grant, I might be willing to get you a box of dinosaur-related fruit snacks as a second 'first prize.'

Wouldn't a box of dinosaur-related fruit snacks be worth more than an item off the dollar menu at McDonalds?

This contest is arbitrary. Anyway, it might just be a large bag of fruit snacks... not a box.
