Win a copy of Knuckleball

I am going to make this an easy contest.  In the comments section of this post on MetsPolice.com all you have to do is tell me which current Mets player celebrated his 28th birthday yesterday.  I will then pick three winners at random.  Contest ends at 11:59pm ET on Friday April 6, 2013. No substitute prize is available.  Winners in the Continental US only.

Kunckleball

From acclaimed filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg (The Devil Came on Horseback; Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work) this heartfelt, funny and deeply engaging film delves into the legendary subculture of the knuckleball and the brotherhood of men who share the drive, imagination and humility to throw baseball‘s slowest, most disrespected pitch. Filmed throughout the 2011 season, KNUCKLEBALL follows 37 year-old R.A. Dickey (New York Mets and 2012 All-Star) and 18-year veteran Tim Wakefield, formerly the oldest player in the major leagues and an icon of the Boston Red Sox, detailing their personal and professional triumphs of the season while exploring the bond between them and their only allies, the five living retired knuckleballers – Charlie Hough, Wilbur Wood, Jim Bouton, Tom Candiotti, and Hall of Famer Phil Niekro.KNUCKLEBALL is the story of these extraordinary men, and the sacrifices they made to a pitch that would come to define their lives.

  53. “Winners in the Continental US only.”

    Et tu, Brute? {I know all you literary types like those Shakespearean quotes.}

    I do have a US address. Can I be in the draw? Please? Pretty please, with a Strawberry on top? {You thought a Met fan would opt for cherry over Strawberry?}

    Daniel Murphy.

      1. Oh, all right. I guess I’ll just accept my second class Met fan (baseball fan) status.

        {But if my name comes out of the hat you can send it to my alias at an upstate NY address.}

  64. Terry Collins. I’m kidding, I’m kidding. Daniel Murphy, our second baseman.
