Giveaway contest #1 is the first 25 cards of the 1988 Topps set, from #1 Vince Coleman RB to #25 Andres Galarraga. To see all the other cards you'll be getting, just click through the previous posts here.
Here's how the contest works:
I have selected a number from the Baseball-Reference.com page for Andres Galarraga. All numbers on that page are fair game.
To take your shot at winning the cards, post your numerical guess in a comment on this post. The closest person wins. I'll mail you the 25 cards at no cost.
Rules:
1. One entry per person. If you make more than one guess, I will count only your first one.
2. This is basically a random drawing. You have no way of knowing what number I've selected, and so this contest can't really be tested for fairness. It's my blog, so just deal with it.
3. My decisions on this contest are final.
4. The contest closes Friday 1/18 at 5 PM eastern time. Comments must be timestamped by the blog before then.
If you are enjoying this blog, there are two things you can do for me:

Galarraga's career high in triples was 8, and he accomplished this is '88, the year in baseball cards that you are documenting. My guess is 8.
my guess is .282, andres's not so good OBP for the 1991 cardinals (1991 is not my guess).
I'll guess 370, which is his batting average in Colorado's first season.
By the way, I'm counting averages as what they are--percentages, meaning that .370 is greater than 0 and less than 1.
Don't read anything into my comment here about whether .370 is a good guess or a bad guess--I just want to avoid any confusion over it.
My guess is 2003. His career strikeout total and last year in the National League
I'll guess 235 as in he weighed 235 lbs...that's one "Big Cat"!
I guess 13, the number of stolen bases the Big Cat had in 1988.
I guess 6082, his career total for outs made.
I'm guessing his Rockies' single season RBI record, 150.
157
399 (career homers)
444 career doubles
839, his sim score with Will Clark.
π. Everybody loves π.
I give you style points for that guess, dayf! :)
The amount of money he made in his career: 55,779,167
My guess is 8096, career at bats.
1979 - when the Expos signed him as a free agent.
My guess is 29. The number of home runs he hit in 1988.
I'll go with his HOF Monitor value of 114. I'm still thinking about his teammate Raines getting hosed in the HOF voting.
