If you didn't get a chance to get into any of the Beat the Geek or Playertrack fantasy leagues, one lucky person still has a shot... but, of course, there's a catch.
For 16 years, I have been playing a very fun baseball sim game at baseballmanager.com. It is unlike your normal fantasy game in that the game uses real stats from the night before and simulates ENTIRE games based upon the night before stats.

 When I was in high school, my high school baseball team won the city championship. A member of that championship team, which also happened to include former major league closer Rod Beck, was Pat Chawki.

The winner of our WBC bracket contest is Daigo Fujiwara of daigofujiwara.com!
He had the US, Japan, AND Korea in the final four... and Japan beating Korea in the final... this, as you can imagine, bested -- by a country mile -- everybody else.
Congrats to loyal playertrack user and podcast listener Tyler Mintz who selected Japan to win it all, but he couldn't match wits with the rest of Daigo's picks.
Thanks to everyone who participated!

 The following players are the most viewed player profiles (MPP = Most Popular Players) on the PLAYERtrack site for the week starting early 3-16-09 and ending early 3-23-09.
These rankings are a general indication of players who are generating high interest among baseball fans/fantasy players as these rankings are substantially the result of search engine searches (from google, etc.) that requested information on these players.
