- - Mr. T206 Competition! (http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=194217)

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...

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! (Then why does Shag cost so much?!)

and finally, in overtime, Rucker wins over Dahlen 34-30.

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!

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 !!!!!!!!!

How about a contest for the UGLIEST t206 card? That would be fun too...

How about best scrap? :D:D

Agreed.

Ugliest T206 - I'll save you the trouble. It'll come down to Egan v. Shannon. I think Egan wins . . .

ha ha...you just saved a lot of time!!!

Ha! Agree, Egan and his horse face wins that one running away! Though it could be interesting to see the carnage left in his wake...

Glad to hear many of you enjoyed this thread. As a fairly new poster, I hope it contributed to the fun on this forum, which I am really enjoying being a part of.

I see there are lots of other great ideas for tournament style threads above. Having already run this one, I think I will take a break from running others. If anybody else wants to run one, however, I would certainly enjoy participating! (I would also be happy to help with the initial setting up of polls, etc.)

All the best,
David
