Contest: Win a copy of Nicktoons MLB video game & vote for your favorites
08.30
By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor
The postseason will be here before we know it, meaning that the MLB awards voting will be, too, but there’s another vote that’s perhaps as red-hot as the trio of Boston Red Sox on the cover of the latest issue of Beckett Baseball.
And that’s the voting for “The Showdown” taking place in advance of the arrival of the Nicktoons MLB video game, which you can have a chance to win a copy of if you pick up the magazine thanks to 2K Sports — or if you keep reading. (Click the link above for a look at our recent sneak peek at the game.)
As part of the video game’s promotion — and an overall push by MLB to get kids more involved with the game and its merchandise (sound familiar, card collectors?) — fans online can vote until Sept. 7 on which 11 MLB stars they want to see in The Showdown as well as which park and, of course, which Nicktoons they want to see take them on in a simulated game on Sept. 13, the day the game arrives.
The current voting (click here) looks like a who’s who of MLB All-Stars right now with Albert Pujols, Jose Bautista and Roy Halladay in the mix but it’s also a world where the done-for-the-year Buster Posey can play injury-free, too. (He’s the leading vote-getter at catcher.)
How can you win a copy of the game? Pick up the magazine for instructions on how to win one — and leave a comment below to a chance to win another.
We’ll give one of our games to one of you at random once they arrive.

Nicktoons invade MLB in upcoming video game
07.29
By Chris Olds | Beckett Baseball Editor
The stars of Major League Baseball have a few new rookies to deal with — guys who are pretty well-known in their own right — in a forthcoming video game release.
Who?
SpongeBob Squarepants, Ren and Stimpy, Chum Chum and Danny Phantom to name a few.
These rookies — and more Nicktoons – will be competing against actual MLB players in actual MLB stadiums in 2K Play‘s Nicktoons MLB for the Xbox 360 with support for Kinect along with versions for the Wii and Nintendo DS. The game arrives on Sept. 13.
Just think, SpongeBob in Wrigley Field … and who wins in a showdown between him and Cliff Lee?
Win original Diamond Kings art! Did you miss this contest in Beckett Sports Card Monthly’s Art Issue?
06.20
By Chris Olds | Baseball Editor
The Art Issue of Beckett Sports Card Monthly has perhaps been replaced on shelves already by the latest issue, but we wanted to make sure that everyone has a chance at this one.
It’s a framed piece of original art used to make the 2003 Diamond Kings card of Jim Edmonds of the St. Louis Cardinals.
The piece was donated by Panini America specifically to get into the hands of one lucky reader of the issue.
How can you win?
Find an issue and read the instructions on Page 21. (No purchase necessary.) The deadline for entering is July 1.
