Has a person ever finished last in their own feud before? Not that there’s anything wrong with it - I imagine that it could be challenging to have the low score. Thanks for the feud!! ---

> [@Labtrash](#): > > Did anyone else pick the Toledo Mudhens because of Klinger on M_A_S\*H ?? I picked them because I have a customer in Toledo, and stay in the Park Inn hotel kitty corner from their ballpark; it’s a stunning view (and I always request a ballpark view.) I always schedule my visit for when the Hens are in town and see a game. It’s a terrific park, AAA baseball is of very high quality, the people are friendly, and it’s cheap. I can’t think of a business trip I have to take with a more comprehensive and perfect little diversion. ---

Congratulations, **Munch**! Great job! 8 out of 10 was enough to get me 7th place, which I certainly can’t complain about. I realized after about 10 seconds that I should have said Yankee Stadium instead of Wrigley, but I _really_ thought the Durham Bulls would take the category. (I do love me some 'Hens, though. Never failed to have a great time at Fifth Third Field _or_ Ned Skeldon Stadium!) ---

I think that minor league games, in general, are much more fun to watch than major leagues. There’s much more of a community feel to them. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > I think that minor league games, in general, are much more fun to watch than major leagues. There’s much more of a community feel to them. I would have to agree. In addition, in AAA, a lot of those guys are hungrier. They give it their all in hopes of moving up to the big league.
