12 Days of a Cleveland Christmas: Day 6

ornament1 copyOur 12 Days of Christmas giveaways reaches the half-way point today. Congratulations are in order to Alexander who won the pair of tickets to see the Browns play the Raiders on the 27th. Alexander’s favorite defensive Brown was Clay Mathews. (Alexander was not alone in that thought however, a strong showing by number 57 in our comments.) Hope you are enjoying the answers as much as we are.

Today we go back to the ticket drawer and specifically back to the diamond. Today’s prize is a pair of tickets to see the Indians take on the Cincinnati Reds, May 22nd. It is a Saturday game, which means there will be a giveaway!

Once again, here’s the skinny…

That’s right WFNY loyal readers- the December giveaway is back! Each weekday from now until Tuesday the 22nd we will be giving away a great Cleveland sports prize pack. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on the daily prize post answering the question of the day. It’s that simple. Look for the posts at noon.

- You may only enter once each day. You are free to comment on each other’s answers, however.

- The winner will be chosen at random from the qualifying entries. Winners will be notified the following day by email (make sure the email address you registered to comment with is a real one!) You must be at least 18 years old to win, and only one winner per household during this giveaway please.

-Entries must be made before Midnight EST to qualify.

Last year I made everyone give their answer in exactly 64 words, (last Cleveland title) but this year I’m going to be a bit more lenient. As long as you actually answer the question, it doesn’t matter how many words you use.

Today’s prize- A pair of tickets to see the Tribe play the Reds!

Today’s question- Who is your favorite baseball player that never wore a Cleveland uniform?

Good luck!

  • mitchum man

    Mike piazza. He was a hundredth round pick and worked his way to being an allstar

  • Corey

    agree with 92

  • Mark_CHI

    Tony Gwynn. What a hitter.

  • mgbode

    Ozzie Smith – just an absolute magician at SS. I love Omar and he is the 2nd best defensive SS I have seen, but Omar was/is no Ozzie.

  • erickups

    Ken Griffey Jr.

  • jbreg

    Cal Ripken Jr. – The consumate professional.

  • Cait

    Ichiro Suzuki.

    Jackie Robinson
    Never saw him play live, but without him, we may never have seen a lot of great players.
    Tribe (Spiders, actually) may have broke the color barrier with Louis Sockalexis and broke the AL taboo against African-American players with Larry Doby, and, even, managerial discrimination with Frank Robinson, but without Jackie Robinson’s calm, humble courage, baseball fans would have totally missed some of the greats (Satchel Paige?) and waited, perhaps too long, to see others. People forget he was traded to the Giants and chose to retire. Perhaps, if he had been traded to the Indians he would have declined to wear Lil red Sambo, as well.

  • Ann

    Kirby Puckett

  • Shawn Kemp

    I would have to go with Derek Jeter. the dude is just a gamer and knows the game so well

    Barry Bonds

  • Danny

    Joe Mauer, he is a stud

  • TSR3000

    Ichiro

    And the guy that said Curt Schilling is a cool guy has got to be joking.

  • TSR3000

    Also I agree with 92

  • Tribal

    Ken Griffey, Jr. We seemed to be in the mix for him when he was traded to the Reds. If he never got hurt, we’d be talking G.O.A.T.

  • brwnsgrl

    Keith Hernandez.

  • dave

    Mariano Rivera…a dominant closer for such a long time. Always a hole on the Tribe.

    Ryne Sandberg. I used to watch the Cubs a lot after school on WGN.

  • skoz

    Nolan Ryan…he was the ultimate competitor on the mound and was as fearless as they come. Just ask Robin Ventura when he was stuck in that headlock.

  • CapGG

    Mark Grace – The guy went 1 for 4 every night (it seemed that way anyway — never 2 for 4, but never 0-4 either). And who can forget the “If you worked at Wrigley Field, you’d work slow too” commercial. And the guy who brought us the term “slumpbuster”.
