Schaefer year TWENTY!

[Benjamin Grimm]

And here we go again! Schaefer is the Tabloid Cover Derby's less popular little brother, but it keeps chugging along. Voters will vote, votes will be tallied, awards will be announced, and custom Topps baseball cards will be presented.

I'm probably going to be away from my laptop for most of the Easter weekend, so voting for the first few games of the season may have to wait until Tuesday of next week. But fear not! Rest assured that we will complete our second decade (!) of this fruitless exercise!

Duda just gets more beautiful as the years pass.

Two decades is a lot of Schaefer!

If the winner isn't one we expected, it was either a very good year or a very bad one.

Always fun

Hopefully I won't miss any games this year

20 years , wow .. I plan on voting in every game

[Benjamin Grimm]

It looks like something changed on the server over the offseason, and the Schaefer voting form isn't working as expected.

We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Rest assured, the Schaefer Department in Stockholm is working to address this issue.

I just received this message from headquarters:

Vi har identifierat och åtgärdat problemet med Schäfer-omröstningen. De skyldiga har identifierats och kommer att straffas hårt.

I believe it means that we're clear to cast our Schaefer votes.

I'll post a "final reminder" on Monday, but I'll post this mini reminder as we head into the weekend. All games through April 29 have seven or eight votes, which might be just about everybody, but the game of the 30th is still a little light. There are still at least a few uncast votes. Please be sure to do your civic duty, Judy!
