My first double digit win on Draft Kings Pick 6 baseball games

I just won double digits for the first time on Draft Kings Pick 6 baseball.

I did a Pick 3 lineup during spring training and turned $1 into $53. Now granted it is not the $100s and $1000s that some win, but for a $1 bet. It works for me.

I chose Sonny Gray of the St. Louis Cardinals and predicted that he would throw less than 4.5 strikeouts. I was correct, as he struck out four but was not able to get that fifth one.

Then I selected New York Mets Juan Soto and Mark Vientos and predicted that they would slug homers, and they did. Therefore my 3 of 3 pick was accurate. Soto and Vientos paid a bonus, therefore my winnings added up to $53.28.

Here is hoping that my baseball knowledge and the DraftKings Pick6 games combine for a winning 2025 season.

My first Draftkings Pick4 experience is a win

This weekend I played DraftKings Pick6 for the first time and I’m hooked. A free $50 promo persuaded me to give it a try.

My first auto redemption card is Chris Sale

It finally happened.

Today, for the first time in my 43 years of collecting, I pulled a

Topps redemption card for an autograph.

Now I have pulled autos out of packs before, but never a redemption card.

This is merry Christmas to me, as the autograph will be a Chris Sale autograph, the Atlanta Braves 2024 Cy Young Award Winner.

I didn’t make a video of the pull. One reason, I don’t have the equipment to make good card pulling videos and second, I don’t like to be on camera.

But I assure you there was joy and excitement. I was on the phone with a friend, and all I could say was “Finally! Whoo hoo! I got one!”

And how cool that my first Topps redemption is of an Atlanta Brave, my all time favorite team.

I know many will think how awesome, a Chris Sale autograph, while others will be like who cares, its not Ohtani.

But this could have been an autograph of a bat boy and I would be excited, as to me collecting should be about the love of the game and the hobby and not always the money.
