WELCOME TO THE MR. T206 COMPETITION!!!
http://t206resource.com/Gallery%20Images/Wagner%20Honus%20Small.jpghttp://jessicawluther.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/boxing.jpghttp://t206resource.com/Gallery%20Images/Plank%20Small.jpg

The T206 portraits are full of iconic images, beautiful backgrounds, great facial expressions, awesome hair do's (and don'ts), etc. This is intended to be a fun "March Madness" tournament style thread, in which our favorite T206 (portraits only!) subjects will battle it out mano-a-mano (based on polling of net54 members) for the prestigious title of "Mr. T206"!

Based on a highly scientific (OK, not really) nomination process, we have narrowed the initial field down to the following 32 subjects (in no apparent order): HOFers (16): wagner, plank, tinker, matty, wajo, cobb (green), collins, lajoie, bender, young, keeler, waddell, evers, walsh, m. brown, griffith; Non HOFers (also 16): shag, chase (pink), titus, beaumont, kling, dahlen (boston), wiltse (with or without cap???), lobert, mcintyre, merkle, dougherty, rucker, killian, magie, elberfeld, revelle. Some good ones missing, no doubt, but a strong field by any measure!

You can see the tournament bracket (randomized seedings) and follow the results here: http://challonge.com/mrt206

New match ups will be initialized as new posts, to give the thread continuity, but will also be copied here (below) to ensure the current matchup(s) are always easy to find. Subject images, for better or worse, will come from the gallery at http://www.t206resource.com, though fans (enemies) of a given subject are welcome to post their own better (worse) images. Commentary, humor, and trash talk [preferably in the matched-up players' voices] is highly encouraged!

Hope many of you will enjoy participating!

Cheers, David

I nominate my fellow Indianapolis players:

Jimmy Burke
Charley Carr
Paul Davidson
Jack Hayden (not on T206Resource.com Portrait checklist, but appears to be a portrait)

As for the bracket, don't know if it will be feasible but was wondering if it could be broken down into "regions" (like March Madness). There could be an American League, National League, Southern League, and Minor League section. That is, only American players would be in the American League section (no mixing of leagues).

Thanks,

Thanks to everyone who has participated so far with your nominations!

By my count, we have now over 70 nominated portrait subjects thus far. Of those, the following have been nominated and (at least) seconded (in no apparent order):

HOFers (16): wagner, plank, tinker, matty, wajo, cobb (green), collins, lajoie, bender, young, keeler, wadell, evers, walsh, m. brown, griffith

Non HOFers (also 16): shag, chase (pink), titus, beaumont, kling, dahlen (boston), wiltse (with or without cap???), lobert, mcintyre, merkle, dougherty, rucker, killian, magie, elberfeld, revelle

Some good ones missing, no doubt, but a strong field by any measure! Plus it is a perfect balance between HOFers and non HOFers, which was something I was hoping for... I know it will not please everybody, but Will anyone throw a fit if we just go with these 32, in the interest of simplicity?! Let me know what you guys think...

Cheers, David

OK then, it is settled, and we will go with those 32!

I have toyed briefly with seeding, but find that a randomized bracket is actually much more compelling, especially in the early rounds. So, I plan to use the bracket (still tentative) found here:

http://challonge.com/mrt206

I like this draw, as it leads to a potentially epic Wagner vs. Plank battle in the 2nd round, if they at least make it that far! I will set up and post the first matchup (tentatively: tinker vs. chase) during the football games today (er, tonight for me, as I am on Danish time...)

I plan to run about 1 matchup per day (roughly), so this will give us about a months worth of fun!

Best, David

Each new match will be initiated by a new post, which I will also copy to the first post of this thread so it is always easy to find. I will aim to run (roughly) one matchup per day, so the tournament will last approximately one month. Commentary, humor, and trash talk [preferably in the matched-up players' voices] is highly encouraged!

Maybe this methodology should be used in Cooperstown, so we don't have to justify guys like Belanger being in Hall on the basis of statistics. My wife thinks he's cute enough.:D:D:D

BicycleSpokes

09-23-2014, 12:49 AM

YESTERDAY'S RESULT: In a mild upset, a handsome Chase takes down Tinker's well-styled hair 31-16! (I am calling it now, but all polls within this thread will be left open in perpetuity...)

Updated bracket found here: http://www.challonge.com/mrt206

After starting, one per day feels rather slow. So, to speed things up, I will run three today, to be followed by four per day until Round 1 is completed...

By the way, I forgot to mention that Round 1's exciting action is sponsored by:

POLAR BEAR "Is now - Always has been - Always will be - The Best Scap Tobacco"

(I always loved their slogan!)

PS - Frank, you could do far worse than this methodology (certainly could be better than the veterans committee!)...

Agree, both Cobbs are classics... But I am afraid the green got more nominations! (Plus I only want to include one pose per subject, for simplicity.)

YESTERDAY'S RESULTS:

As always, the polls above will be left open for fun, but I am calling these now...

We have some greats advancing:

WaJo mows down the chubby cheeks of McIntyre 42-12
Young defeats Killian handily 35-15

... and also some fantastic upsets:

Rucker shaves The 'Stache 29-23!!! ('Stache backlash???)
A well-groomed Dahlen takes down the Hideous mug of HOFer Evers 29-20!

I think we saw a HOF bias with voting yesterday. If I remove the individual and just vote based on the composition I can't see Lajoie or Keeler winning. But as they say, that's why we vote. BTW - great idea David, fun post!

I was thinking the same when Wagner won. I think this would be a better competition for our significant others since they don't have the bias we have.

In an all time great pitching duel, WaJo rightfully destroys Young 36-2 (Would the 2 Young voters like to confess???)

And we end the "Mr. T206 Competition" with a final battle of two worthy candidates, with widely acclaimed portraits (not to mention, the best pitcher and batter of their time)...

In the left corner, standing at 6'1" and weighing in at 200 lbs., sporting a career record of 417-279 with 3509 KOs, Walter "The Big Train" Johnson!
... and in the right corner, standing at 6'1" and weighing 175 lbs., with a lifetime 4189 hits and 879 stolen bases, "The Georgia Peach" Ty Cobb!
