Beat the Streak and win 5.6 Million USD

1 04 2013

One of the more enticing games to play is MLB’s Beat The Streak. The goal is to break Joe Dimaggio’s legendary 56-game hitting streak.

Pick up to two players every day who you think will get a hit. Get a hit, your streak continues; get no hits, start a new streak. Be the first to reach 57 games and win $5.6 Million. Actually you get $140,000 per year for 40 years, or a lump sum of approx $3.2 Million.

Bob Bowen said at a recent MLB Event that MLB Advanced Media has been paying insurance for this game for the past few years and they are desperately hoping someone will win so they can pay the fan instead.

Congrats Sim Bhullar

22 03 2013

Congratulations to Sim Bhullar, Indian-Canadian basketball star, on his NCAA debut. He stands at 7’5″ and weighs in at 355lbs.

His first season on the team, Bhullar averaged 15 points, 12.5 rebounds and 4 blocked shots in the semifinals and finals of the WAC tournament last week – leading his team to a second straight title and earning the Aggies an opening-round NCAA tournament matchup with fourth-seeded Saint Louis on Thursday.

On Thursday March 21, 2013, in the national spotlight, Bhullar posted 4 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks in 27 minutes in a New Mexico St loss. He will likely be back at it again next year.

During the game, the announcers did a brief story on his 7’3″, 16yr old brother Tanveer and his visit and warm reception at New Mexico St. Will he be following in Sim’s footsteps and attending New Mexico St as well?
