First of all, thanks to everyone who participated in our contest these past couple of weeks. You all made such fantastic fanposts and this whole thing has only reinforced how unique and awesome the Gaslamp Ball community is. I know I say this a lot, but I really do love reading what you guys have to say and I'm so happy to be a part of a network like SB Nation that allows readers to make their voices heard through more than just comments.
Now for our winners. The first jersey goes to ajwang, who received 14 recs for his FanPost telling the story behind his Padres fanhood. The second jersey goes to sea.tiff - a new Gaslamp Baller who wrote a wonderful piece on minor league baseball from a fan perspective. I used this website to pick the winner of the second jersey randomly in order to make it fair.
Aside from the jerseys, TheThinGwynn also offered up some baseball cards to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runners up for recs. Those winners are as follows:
- Evil Sammy - How I Became a Padres Fan (My Dirty Little Secret) - 12 recs
- tonoxtono - Padres Related Art - 9 recs
- marcusSDTX - There Is No Way Out - 6 recs
But that's not all! As I said, everyone who writes a fanpost for the contest will get a Gaslamp Ball sticker sent to them. In order to get yours, just email me (jodes0405@gmail.com) your name and mailing address. I can pass those along to TTG as well for those who won the baseball cards.
Once again, thanks to everyone for all your fanposts and I hope you guys keep them coming!
