Write him in at the bottom. I think you can do it up to 25 times and email 25 friends. All of Red Sox Nation is doing this, so he may actually have a legitimate shot of making the team.

I voted but in writing in Ortiz as a first baseman, (there is no DH this year), it knocks Kevin Millar out of the voting box.

Do you know if there is a way you can vote for Ortiz without knocking Millar out of the voting?

[RedSox24]

Just do ortiz and not millar. I voted ortiz 25 of the times only.

[Tek04]

Voted Ortiz 25 times :) as well as pokey, nomar, mueller, damon, nixon, and ramirez, 25 times :D

[Zenny]

Big Papi Ortiz got 25 votes from me too. Hopefully he'll make the team. He might be the best 1B/DH in the AL by the time the All-Star Game comes.

[RedSox24]

Even if he doesnt win in the votes, he will most likely make the team as a reserve

This isnt answering your question, but I voted for Ortiz as well.

My question is: what is in your avatar? Is that Pesky? Who is behind him?

Unless you write in Millar for RF and write in Ortiz for 1B I don&#39;t see any other way to get both in.

To answer your other question that is Pesky. And seated next to him is I believe veteran announcer Curt Gowdy.

Good guess Yeszir, that&#39;s Pesky and the man behind him is none other than Dom Dimagio. The photo was taken during the Ted Williams memorial last year at Fenway.

Ohhh, I thought it looked like Dom, but I wasn&#39;t sure if he was dead or not and I didnt want to sound overly retarded.

I was wrong, it was a guess...Sorry to waste the bandwith and I&#39;ll back off posting here. You guys are probably sick of my posts by now. Bye...

Gotcha. Just don&#39;t like the fact that it takes Millar out of the running.

Funny stuff Yeszir, Roary and RoyNHSox too (Gowdy was not a bad guess)...

Geez, to think we have nothing better to do than comment about two old f_ _ts sitting in a ballpark, (and if you look even closer), reaching for their personal pocket knifes to clip the ungodly long hairs growing out of each others&#39; ears; can you see that too, "20/10 Ted Williams eyesight", Yeszir?

[yeszir]

I noticed it, but I didnt want to say anything for fear of making you all feel puny for not having great eyesight like mine and Ted&#39;s.

[yawkeyway]

Haha, what went on in this thread? :D I voted for him, hopefully he&#39;ll at least make the team as a reserve. Unless Torre goes apeshit over yankee players again, and picks his entire bench. It pisses me off when he always does that.

[GreenMonsterSeats]

Ah it&#39;s okay, let the Yankees play an extra game...maybe it will wear them out a bit.

Haha, this is true. Bigger chance of getting injured as well.

Nixon and Nomar? Ugh. They&#39;re beyond dissapointing. The mysterious nature of injuries to those guys are unbelieveable. Nomar had that wrist injury from September through spring training a couple seasons ago and it was never dealt with until the season started. Nixon can&#39;t tell a strained buttocks from a strained disc in his back. Who knows what&#39;s really wrong with these guys.

I wish you could have more than two write-ins. In theory there should be a write-in for each position. I spent all my first spot write-ins on Ortiz then half of the second slots on Millar for OF and the other half on Pokey for SS.

BTW-you can vote more than 25x if you have more than one email address (that&#39;s 150 votes for Ortiz, 75 for Millar and 75 for Pokey from me&#33;) I should really get rid of some of these unused hotmail/yahoo emails.
