Schaefer Year Twenty-One!

[Benjamin Grimm]

And here we go again! Schaefer is the Tabloid Cover Derby's less popular little brother, but it keeps chugging along. Voters will vote, votes will be tallied, awards will be announced, and custom Topps baseball cards will be presented.



Participation is welcome and encouraged! Those who vote in every game will get a free crappy gift and a chance to dance with Maja at the CPF Christmas party. But intermittent voters are welcome too. It's pointless and tedious and of dubious meaning, but we do it anyway!

Pointless and tedious and dubious are what we're all about.

No wonder this has gone on as long as it has.

It fills a void.

Saw this at my local beer store this past weekend. AFAIK, only available in 30-packs

Well, it is the one beer to have when you're having more than 29.

Hopefully the board runs smoothly and doesn't make it more tedious

This commercial is one of those that's ingrained in my memory, word for word, sound for sound, note for note. It was in heavy, heavy rotation on "Channel Nine" during Mets game in its time. I watched the youtube clip and was able to anticipate every single word of dialogue, right down to the "Sing. You better sing, boy" I know that there are many members here who are about my age, and thus, from the same generation. Youse probably remember this commercial very well, too, if you were watching the Mets, which I know youse were.

The last guy to (sternly but sonorously) tell him to sing kind of looks like Lou Rawls, but almost certainly is not, as Rawls was already a big shot by 1972, and would go on to be a voice of Budweiser a few years later.



BUT ... I am almost just as certain that the SHHH ... guy near the end is Paul Benedict.

[Frayed Knot]

JCL: AFAIK, only available in 30-packs



Me to self [upon reading this some 10 minutes ago]: Ooooh, I'm so going with the line about how it's the one beer to have when you're having more than 29



KC [very next post]: Well, it is the one beer to have when you're having more than 29.



Me: Nerts!!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Baseball Reference is always slow getting off the ground once the season starts, and since they're the source of the box score data, Schaefer voting will be slightly delayed for last night's game in Houston. I know how disappointed you must be. Please refrain from rioting and overturning vehicles. Thank you.

We'll try to contain our emotions.

Voting for all games played through April 16, the series against the Twins in Minneapolis, will close on Monday, April 28. If there are any games that you haven't yet voted for, and intend to, please try to do so this week.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Based on the vote counts, it looks like we may still have one to three voters who haven't voted the two series against the A's and the Twins yet, and maybe the last game or two against the Marlins. There's still time... the games will continue to be available for voting until Monday morning.
