The (Second) Dime Box Frankenset, Page 16: Numbers 136-144 (The final page!)

Frankenset Page #59 WINNER -- 1995 Score #525 Kent Mercker (6 votes + tie-breaking vote)

We've got ourselves another tie!

Last week's page was a clustered affair: though six votes isn't usually enough to sniff a victory, a clustered trip to the polls meant that both Ryan Anderson and Kent Mercker wound up tied at the top with just six slim tallies a piece. As usual, I ask the first five people who care to comment on this post to leave their choice between Anderson and Mercker. The first to receive three tie-breaking votes will win the page.

I'll update this post once we have a champion.

EDIT: Mercker wins!

In the meantime, it's a bittersweet moment here today, for this week will feature the last of the 74 pages of this second Dime Box Frankenset.

While I'm looking forward to the big frankenset bracket coming up, I have to say I'll miss posting these pages every week. Once again, I thank all of you who've taken the time to vote with each passing group: your participation is what makes this series so much fun for me. And I didn't mean to do it this way, but by some weird coincidence the close of the frankenset matched up nicely to the end of the calendar year: looks like 2020 will be the Year of the Frankenset Bracket.

First, though, here it is, the final page: last, but not least, is Page 16 (#s 136-144) of the binder -- let's meet the nominees.

A rare sighting of the innards of a baseball stadium.

Happy voting!
