The only upset in the first round was Darryl Strawberry wiping out George Brett. That surprised me a little given what a better career Brett had than Strawberry, but the Mets cards from this set do have great coloring, and I can't argue with the votes.
Don Mattingly won with the biggest margin of victory, beating out Murray's card 71.6% to 28.4%. Several of the matchups finished close to 50-50 with just a few votes determining the winner.
Incidentally, each poll got 80-90 votes, which is great.
Round Two will commence with the highest seeds facing the lowest seeds from the above list.
Nooooo not Maddux! Wait, Lasorda lost? Wow.
ReplyDeleteMaddux was beaten pretty easily. Lasora and Dawson ended in a tie, but when I reopened the poll, Dawson got almost all the new votes and won fairly easily.
