Beat The Streak
In 1941, Joe DiMaggio recorded a hit in 56 consecutive games, a record he still holds to this day. Beat the Streak is based on this incredible feat. The basic rules of the game are as follows:
- Pick any player who you think will record a hit that day. You can pick one player, or "double down" to increase your streak by 2. Also new this year is that if you forget to make a pick on any day, your streak is not reset.
- If the player(s) you selected record(s) a hit, your streak increases by 1 or 2. If one of your selected players fails to record a hit, your streak resets to 0. He must fail to record a hit in a valid at-bat in order for your streak to reset, meaning if he walks, or is hit by pitch on every plate appearance and doesn't record an at-bat, your streak remain intact.
- If you have a streak between 5 and 9, you are allowed only 1 mulligan, which will keep your streak intact. This mulligan can only be used once per game year.
- The first person to grow their streak to 57 and beat DiMaggio's record wins an astonishing $5.6 million!!
- The longest streak of the season greater than or equal to 20 wins $100,000.

This game is hard, but it also very fun. The basic rules are as follows:
- Each week, pick the winners of all MLB games on Tuesday and Friday.
- If you correctly pick all games in a given week, you win $1 million!
- This game doesn't start until May, so an official rules link will be available then.
That's the gist of this game. It is fun, and makes watching baseball fun and exciting! You really have to know your stuff though, as correctly picking the winners of all baseball games on two days of a week can be near impossible.
