Bill,
I don't really remember why I even entered, but I do remember when the Orioles called me, they said "We never expected anyone from Maine to win, in fact we never expected anyone from Maine to enter". Since, I hadn't had many chances to go to Memorial Stadium over the years, my wife and I went down. I think they upped the prize a little because of the distance we traveled. We got tickets to the whole weekend series against Boston, a tour of the stadium, watched Orioles batting practice before the rest of the fans came into the park and a goody bag. I do remember our seats were beside Tom Neidenfuer's girlfriend in the Orioles family section. For those curious, Tom's girlfriend at the time was actress Judy Landers, now his wife.
I don't know if I was the reason, but I've noticed that most of the Orioles contests after that were limited to residents living in Maryland and surrounding states, but not Maine.
