So is the 35 point aspect of MBBW's rule still in effect?

Also, I thought we got a point for matching the first letter in the [b:a79e80ef8d]last[/b:a79e80ef8d] name, not first name. :?

Once someone kindly answers/confirms these two points, I'll make my pick. :wink:

I would, BM, but I am now lost as to what constitutes points, or how they accumulate. Decided I would figure it out as we go along. :)

from the first page of this thread:

[quote:3d8f77e069]A. 1 point for every player on your roster whose last name begins with any letter in "Buck O'Neil". Throw in J, R and D(to honor Larry Doby and Jackie Robinson)[/quote:3d8f77e069]

hornsby does not qualify for this rule as only last name counts.
