No other player invokes emotion from the hardcore baseball fans in the OneSeason Nation world like Ken Griffey Jr. EVERYONE at one point or another owned one of those ‘89 Upper Deck Rookie cards. It is a sign of the times. Griffey is 40 years old and in the twilight of his career. For many of us, thinking about Ken Griffey Jr, playing for Seattle, in his younger years, is symbolic of our glory years, of our youth. Trading baseball cards, shooting hoops, ditching homework to go to the arcade with your friends. Griffey was an absolute beast. He was the Michael Jordan of baseball. It is sad to see what injuries did to his career. Check this out.

During his 20 year career, Griffey averaged about 680 plate appearances per season. Because of injury, Griffey missed out on approximately 1700 plate appearances in his career. Griffey averaged 1 home run every 17 at bats in his career. So tack on 100 more home runs. He’d be at 717 today.

Griffey’s injuries started as Bond’s career (and size of his body) began to explode. Griffey was always an opponent of becoming huge and muscle bound. He maintained too big of muscles would reduce flexibility, and the ability to be limber, which are necessary to be a great baseball player.

So, we watch for Griffey to come to OneSeason. It might be today, it might be tomorrow, but it will be this week sometime, and it’s bittersweet for this Griffey fan. It’s great that he’s coming to OneSeason, but it also makes you think about what is going on in your life, and where the past 22 years since “The Kid” was drafted, have gone.

What are your thoughts on The Kid?

Week 3 of “Beat the Bacon” is set to begin. This has been, hands down, the most popular game played so far in the OneSeason Universe. Last week we had over 30 people playing to get their hands on the cash! Don’t miss this VERY easy game to play. You have until Monday Night to get your picks in. We are opening this up to the entire OneSeason community! You can send your picks to dancenham@oneseasonnation.com for this week! Here is the official rules.

“You know, the best part of the best drug in the world isn’t the high. It’s the moment just before you take it. The dice are dancing on the table. Between now and the time they stop, that’s the greatest high in the world.”

Week #3 - More Money Week

At the start of contest period, you will select 1 MLB SOI that you have in your sportsfolio. You will then be given OSN Money to use based on your Fan Mogul Rankings. You will then take that money and make bets throughout the contest using a pre-set table of bets.

Fan Mogul Ranks & $$ that it gets you:

#1 on the Fan Mogul gets you $100
#2 gets you $99
#3 gets you $98
#4 gets you $97
.
.
#99 gets you $2
#100 gets you $1

Each contest will start on a Sunday, that will give Dancenham an entire Saturday to go through the Fan Moguls to verify how much OSN Money you start with.

What Can I Bet On?

Everyone will use this Table of Bets:

Positional Players

15. Pitcher gives up 3 or less Earned Runs in the game: 6:1

You need to have your player picked by Monday Night 11:59:59PM EST. (two extra days to get your entry in)

I will hand out the OSN Money during closing hours so you can begin placing bets on Sunday.

Legends CAN be used. We have a Baseball SIM with MNTL and BABE. We place them in the NYY lineup and have them play who the yanks are playn in real life

You can only select 1 SOI to use.

The bet of course is based around your SOIs performance

The one with the most OSN Money at the end of the Week (6/13/09) wins $75 cold cash that will be sent via PayPal. If you do not have paypal, I guess I will mail you the check.

Since October of 2008, OneSeason’s first 3rd party site, the OneSeason Nation, has been striving to bring you fun things to do and talk about. All for free. We started with just forums, and since have added everything that the community has asked for! TV, Radio, articles, games, contests, prizes, T-Shirts, and much more. As many of you know, we also added a video game arcade where people have been duking it out for the high scores, and competing for the champion of the Arcade trophy. The battle has been raging between Dumbchump, Acancellie, and Sdog for tops in the arcade. Recently, we have added TONS of new games to the arcade for you to play, when you’re looking for something to do. Tetris, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Mega Man, Super Mario Brothers, Solitare, Majong, and TONS of others are available for you to play. ABSOLUTELY FREE! Have fun! Here is the direct link right to the Arcade! http://oneseasonnation.com/forum/arcade.php?

Another OSN Member is currently looking for folks to beta test a new site he is making that is a rotisserie type game using SOI’s in your sportfolio! If you are interested in this, please contact bullpup@oneseasonnation.com and he will forward your email to this new site being built!

Good Morning everyone! Happy Chris Johnson Day to you! Chris Johnson will end up between 5 and $7,000 Market cap today. Remember, OneSeason was not created to be an investment site. Their goal is not to make you money. Their goal is not to raise the value of your sportfolio. Nowhere, anywhere on OneSeason does it say anything, anywhere about investments. The site was created for the fun and entertainment of Sports Fans, and NOT for investment purposes. The Yahoo! Factor has a lot of people sitting around waiting for another boom again that isn’t going to happen. And now some folks are expecting OneSeason to deliver that boom again. If you are on OneSeason for only 1 reason, and that’s MONEY. You should leave. Now. The site isn’t for you, wasn’t created for you, and won’t be changing to cater to you any time soon. OneSeason will grow the site to the numbers they anticipate at a very slow rate, ensuring there isn’t another crippling boom again. If a crazy boom happens, every last one of us will sell all of our shares to the new users, and we’ll go 100% cash, sticking the new users with our shares. OneSeason knows this as well, and will make sure this doesn’t happen. It may not be what you want to hear, but it’s the truth. Sorry.

For those of you (the majority of OSN and the OS community) who are here to have fun, create side games, have fun interacting socially about sports, fantasy sports, and everything else then you already know all this!

Oh, and there are presents for EVERYONE in the OSN Arcade! SDogg has already been cleaning house in the new additions to the arcade. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Congratulations to last weeks winner “Ron” for his clever caption. You win $5 in credit for Art2Shirt.net’s Online store! Please email bullpup@oneseasonnation.com so we can forward your email address to the sponsor! Remember now there is also an item available for purchase w/ this credit, and they have been VERy popular w/ the people who have recieved them! The OSN Silicone Bracelets! Thanks again to Art2Shirt.net for doing this for the Nation, and making these items affordable for the community!

Here is this week’s picture. See if you can beat the caption below. This one should be a great one. Have fun!

Say no to Crack (too easy?)

As you guys know, The OneSeason Nation has been at the front of delivering you games based around OneSeason. We launched the TSTL Performance Matters Contest back in December, followed that up a month later with the TSTL All-Star Challenge. Then we are on Season TWO of OSN Survivor sponsored by Dancenham, INC. 4th up, OSN member Jayhawk89 launched the 4th game around OneSeason over at his site www.OneSeasonTools.com. It’s an NCAA Bracket style game where you can win $50 cash per week! Congrats to ASL for your win in week 1!

Now, OSN has stepped up and has a full fledged arcade for your enjoyment. Complete with leaderboards, high scores, trophies and everything! We currently have Pac-Man, Space invaders, Super Mario Brothers, Asteroids, Jouse, and a TON of others. Good Luck beating Bullpup’s score on Space Invaders. Sheesh!

We have the ability to have tournaments on any game we wish, and I predict some heavy wagering going on around these games.

This arcade will be available to EVERYONE (even you Randy) who is registered for the OSN forums. Have some fun! Get some high scores!

GO HERE TO THE ARCADE!!!

Congratulations to Last weeks winner OrangeAssassin! Orange’s winning caption can be seen here!

Great News for the OneSeason Community! OneSeason Nation Member and regular chatter “OSA” OneSeason Alerts! They have added trading and IPO requests from their desktop tool! You can view charts on players real time, as seen last week on OSNTV. There won’t be much that goes down without you knowing about it. It also works OUTSIDE of your web browser, and can be minimized into the part of your computer down by your clock, and won’t be blocked out from typical work web filters!
