YESTERDAY'S FIRST ROUND RESULTS:
We had 3 blowout victories, with some of the big guns advancing: Mathewson 29 - 11 Waddell Wagner 25 - Dougherty 12 Plank 28 - Brown 9 ... which is actually great, as we are now assured an epic Plank-Wagner heavyweight bout in the 2nd round! Updated bracket: http://www.challonge.com/mrt206 I will post the new matchups shortly... |

This is kinda like rooting for a football team based on the uniform?
|
|
Ha! Indeed... Can we get a show of handsome???
|
the rucker one....
is close:)
|
I think the red Cobb has to be in the mix A true classic!
JimB |
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.)

Titus goes down!
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! Updated bracket: http://challonge.com/mrt206 Thanks to all who voted. |

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!
|
Thanks Bill. Yeah, I thought the same... On a neutral playing field, no way Keeler takes out the dreamy Beaumont!
|
I would like to second my nomination of Addie Joss and....
.....ah crap. Tom C |
Sorry Tom, not everybody made the final cut. Made me laugh though...

Some heavy-weight battles this round. Plank and Johnson got my votes.
|
Johnson is going to win it all
|
Round two results:
Chase takes down Matty 23-16 Wagner's powers are too much for Plank (Wagner 23 - Plank 17) In an all time great pitching duel, WaJo rightfully destroys Young 36-2 (Would the 2 Young voters like to confess???) Tie: Rucker-Dahlen are tied at 19-19 - This battle of the common man remains open, I will check it tomorrow to see if we can break the tie... Updated bracket: http://www.challong.com/mrt206 |

Wee Willie takes out Collins 17-12 Lajoie easily defeats Magie 22-9 Cobb also gets an easy win over Walsh 21-9 In a surprise: Bender edges Shag 16-14!

Some close contests!
|
I like the final four! Great idea, David...thanks for doing this :)
|
Gonna have to agree with iwantit, I don't see anybody stopping the train.
|
Yesterday's semi-final results:
Some close ones: Johnson comes from behind to take out T206 bad boy Chase 19-16. Hit King Cobb edges rival Lajoie 20-15. Final coming soon! |
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! http://www.t206resource.com/Gallery%...it%20Small.jpghttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dZ_GPQitfx...A0/s320/VS.pnghttp://www.t206resource.com/Gallery%...en%20Small.jpg <form method="post" action="http://poll.pollcode.com/79266443"><div style="background-color:#EEEEEE;padding:2px;width:175px;font-family:Arial;font-size:small;color:#000000;box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #888;"><div style="padding:2px 0px 4px 2px;"><strong>Who shall be crowned "Mr. T206"?</strong></div><input type="radio" name="answer" value="1" id="answer792664431" style="float:left;" /><label for="answer792664431" style="float:left;width:150px;">Johnson</label><div style="clear:both;height:2px;"></div><input type="radio" name="answer" value="2" id="answer792664432" style="float:left;" /><label for="answer792664432" style="float:left;width:150px;">Cobb</label><div style="clear:both;height:2px;"></div><div align="center" style="padding:3px;"><input type="submit" value=" Vote "> <input type="submit" name="view" value=" View "></div><div align="right" style="font-size:10px">pollcode.com <a href="http://pollcode.com/">free polls</a></div></div></form> To honor our finalists, all are encouraged to post their examples of these two fine subjects! See their respective paths to the finals via the updated bracket here: www.challonge.com/mrt206 To give all who want to a chance to vote, the poll will be left open though the weekend, and I will call the result when I get to work Monday morning (i.e. in the middle of Sunday night, for most of you!). |

Ladies and gentleman, it is settled...
Walter "The Big Train" Johnson http://www.t206resource.com/Gallery%...it%20Small.jpg wins the "Mr. T206" competition, steamrolling the great Ty Cobb 26-11 in the finals! The final updated bracket is at: http://www.challonge.com/mrt206 Thanks to all who participated the past couple of weeks! Cheers, David |
David, great thread. That was a lot of fun. Why don't you do the same thing with non- portraits? You could start with:
Cobb bat off shoulder Mathewson dark cap Chase dark cap Mike Mitchell Speaker Donlin fielding and I'm sure some other members can come up with some more suggestions. |

I agree. I had a lot of fun following along and voting.
How about 4 brackets: caramel bracket gum bracket t bracket other candy bracket Could potentially have CJ Joe Jackson against the e102 Cobb :D |
Definitely a unique/neat thread!
|
How about we vote for our favorite Topps pre-1977 baseball set. Then from that winning set nominate 32 favorite player poses to be voted on to be Mr. Topps Baseball !!!!!!!!!
