    3 Million Dollar MLB.com Contest

    If you can break Joe Dimaggio's streak you win 3 mill. I think this is a pretty easy contest for the prize you should give it a shot. I think of it like hitting 57 foul shots in a row.

    Got one in a row, today I took Matt Kemp.

    You must be a very poor free-throw shooter then.

    I bet I can hit over 85%. Calderon is only a 88% shooter and he hit 87 in a row.

    That is what makes it extra hard to win is picks lock when the first game starts, you could miss a day or pick a guy who is getting the day off.

    they've offered at least a million for years. It's meaningless, like when they offer millions for a perfect bracket.

    The odds against you are astronomical.

    Best I've ever done is 18, IIRC.

    At 3 right now.

    your streak stays intact if you pick a guy who does not get any official ABs that day.

    I've tried to purposely find guys unlikely to get ABs in the past, but once it backfired when the guy I picked pinch hit.

    They made it even harder a few years ago when they changed the doubleheader rule.

    It used to be that if you picked a guy playing a DH, as long as he got a hit that day, your streak continued. In like 2007, they changed it to he has to get a hit in each game, which is crazy and removes the incentive to take anyone playing a DH.

    I created a group for SBR.

    The group name had to be at least four characters, so it's SBRe
