I know there are alot of under served segments of the Steam Community so this Event will try and reach out to a different group each day.

Tomorrow's Event is for people who like brain teasers,

and Wednesday it will be for politics followers....

Since the sports Fans are out there,
but they are not very
active on the SteemIt platform,
this contest will hopefully
bring some of them out of the woodwork.

The national pasttime kicked off this week...And I have really enjoyed the first couple of games...And it brings back thoughts of icons of the past we all loved...(pay attention to this picture you will need it later)

So since everyone's favorite Team is still in the Mix...

And no one knows who really is going to win or lose any particular game I've decided the classic pick some winners in tuesdays games in MLB as the first competition.

But since you could do that in any office pool I've decided to add some Trivia questions for more points.

So here are the rules:

I will announce the winners 48 hours from now and the reward pool distribution will come at 7 days when the upvote rewards on this post are sent to me.

Now, on to the Contest

Here is my submission, along with my team; the Mariners. Last time I saw them was in Seattle in 2013. They were having a veterans day, in which they gave out caps with the settle logo in military camouflage.

While this isn't the cap, I do not have the cap with me so it's not the same, but similar.
