Additional prizes for the HO

I'm thrilled to announce that the following exciting items have been added to the already fantastic prize pool for the upcoming Hartford Open:
  • one terry-cloth men's bathrobe, size XL, slightly tattered.
  • several pairs of gently used shoes, mostly men's size 13.
  • a dazzling assortment of textbooks of the sort that a college biology major would have owned in the mid-1990s.
  • one complete set of 1991 Fleer baseball cards, near-mint condition.
  • one black torchiere floor lamp, possibly working.
  • sundry mismatched kitchen plates and glasses.
  • one cat, black, who has grown rather fat and boring over the past few months.
I would like to stress that these prizes have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that we are moving one week after the tournament.

Most stores don't even carry 14s. And they usually only have a couple pairs of 13s in stock to choose from.

If I recall correctly, what you really want from '91 is Upper Deck Final Edition -- Pedro, Bagwell and Pudge rookies.

Although I think Chipper was '91 too? What set was he...?

I do think offering the eighteen-pound bag of dust bunnies is going a bit far.

Maybe it replaces the Uncle Wiggily game as a rabbit-themed consolation prize.
