As you may or may not know, Red Reporter celebrated it's 4th anniversary just before midnight on Monday morning. The site was birthed by this post by JD on that day. I've got to say, this site is every bit like a four-year old. We occasionally throw tantrums. We like to tell random, rambling stories. And every once in a while, we "accidentally" pee on ourselves. Our little site is growing up so fast.
To celebrate our fourth anniversary, we're having a little giveaway for all of you loyal, and not so loyal, readers. If you are lucky, you could win one of these fabulous prizes:
An all expenses paid trip to everywhere for you and all of your friends!A new car!A Chewbacca PEZ dispenser!- A game-worn, Sunday Alternate Reds jersey worn by #65 Josh Roenicke!
OK, so you can only win the Josh Roenicke jersey, but to be honest, that's still a pretty kick-ass prize. Roenicke has a chance to be a part of the Reds next playoff contending team if he can remain healthy for the next 10-15 years and not sign with someone else. You don't want to miss this chance to purchase his actual jersey before they become too expensive for people like you and me to afford, do you?
You don't believe this is real, do you? Well, here's photographic proof...

So, how can you win? After the jump, you will find 15 Reds or Roenicke related questions, all of which have numbers as their answer. Add up all of the numbers and post your result in the comments. We are only looking for a single total answer, not the answers to each individual question. The first person to post the correct answer wins the jersey! The contest will run until Wednesday, January 28th at 10 PM ET. If no one has posted the correct answer by then, the individual with the closest answer without going over wins the prize. Ties will go to the first person to post the best answer.
One final note, you only get one guess. If you post multiple answers in the thread, we will only accept your first guess. So as to limit the confusion, please post your comment with a subject of "The answer is" followed by the number you are guessing.
Thank you for sticking with us all these years and good luck!
