Folks,

First of all, pleaes let me apologize for the grand-standing. I hope that this request isn't too out-of-place, though, considering it regards me being able to add something to the "November Pick-Ups" thread (when it occurs). I haven't posted a ton in my time here, but I've been here a while, am a huge fan and regular lurker, and this would mean a ton to me.

So, I entered the Washington Nationals' Pumpkin Carving Contest this year, hoping to win a game-used Adam Dunn jersey. My submission, based mostly on the mascot races that occur regularly in D.C., roots for poor, ever-losing Teddy Roosevelt.

I was fortunate enough to be judged into the top three entries, but now the voting is up to the fans. As I said before, if I win the fan voting, then I win the Adam Dunn jersey I'd really, REALLY like to have.

And so I'm asking, would you be willing to throw a few votes my way? I promise I'll post the jersey up if I emerge victorious.

If you're interested in helping me out, please vote here: http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/was/fan_forum/pumpkins.jsp?loc=vote . Please note that my pumpkin is the first entry, featuring a sculpted/carved Teddy Roosevelt.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Larry LaHaie

Thank you both!

And thanks for the compliment, Ted. I'd say the Roosevelt was about eight hours of work, or ten if you include the one I threw out. :) I was highly motivated to take my best shot at the Dunn jersey!

Thanks for the compliment! I think the second one is quite awesome, so I know I've got fierce competition. Of course, I prefer my own, but I'm biased. :)

Got my vote too. Although I found it frustrating that the ballot sheet did not support Canadian addresses. I guess you can't be a Nationals fan and also be Canadian (even though they were once the Montreal Expos). Needless to say, I filled the address of one of my buddies who lives in the US.

Best of luck!

Ted,

Actually, you can vote up to ten times per day (if you're interested, and no pressure of course, all you have to do is submit the form, hit back in the browser once you get to the "thank you" page, and then hit submit again. Rinse and repeat!)!

Oh, and geez! Thanks for going back at all! The effort is really appreciated! :D

FWIW, I PROMISE I'll post pictures if I end up as the lucky recipient.

Thank you all SO much for your votes. I've received the jersey in the mail, and to my astonishment, the Washington Nationals sent me the 2010 blue alternate jersey that Adam Dunn wore on 9/11 of this year!

Words can't express how excited I am about this jersey.
