Baseball Reference doesn't round the WAR so it would be quite the feat to tie.

Find 16 bloggers and set them up in a bracket. Round of 16 in January, elite eight in Feb., final four in March (fitting, no?) and championship in April. Use a different year for each round. <br />Those interested would have to be willing to invest $40 over a four month span, but it would make for some great reading during the winter months!<br /><br />Oh, one last thought... do you have a tie-breaker?P-town Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437348006643978055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504646615318477533.post-22222222335653527952015-10-09T19:53:14.822-04:002015-10-09T19:53:14.822-04:00Sounds interesting.
