Therefore, it's time for the annual Red Sox W-L Contest!
The person who correctly guesses the Red Sox's 2021 regular season W-L record will win a hard cover copy of Mitchell Nathanson's Bouton: The Life of a Baseball Original.*
Contest entries must be emailed to me and include the following two predictions:
Deadline: Wednesday, March 31, 11:59 PM (ET).
Good luck . . . and don't forget: Yankees suck!
* I was leaning towards this book as the prize in 2020, but there was no winner. I didn't buy it for myself, either. I finally ordered two copies last night. I'll repeat what I said last year: you should read Nathanson's 2012 book A People's History of Baseball.

Contest entries must be emailed to me and include the following two predictions:
1. 2021 W-L RecordAs always, the winning W-L prediction must be exact. The tiebreaker, if needed, will be the closest guess, either over or under.
2. Tiebreaker: Team ERA

People's History is on my ( ever growing )list.

Also have Conspiracy Of Silence and Ball Four waiting , which is Colson Whitehead's fault.
So now I have another two to add ( one if I win ).
