It all ended April 28th 2009 with this:
| Hitters | AB | R | H | RBI | BB | SO | LOB | AVG |
| 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | .395 |
The exciting ball game between the Mets and Marlins ended with our old friend C Belt in the on deck circle and as of that point a .395 batting average. It has been a great ride from the day we announced the Last Man Standing here at the WaterCooler with plenty of drama and intrigue to keep every fan excited. The season started April 5th and the Last Man Standing came to an end April 28th with a total of seven worthy competitors.

Nice job Jeff and heck of a pick, really a bold move and it really paid off for you as our first winner of this annual event and you will be recieving your copy of Mighty Ducks 3 soon in the mail!
Before we move on we have an offical release from Jeff:
From the desk of C2208,
I’m here today not to offer my condolences for your inability to be the last man standing, but rather to rub it in a little. I guess there really was no chance for anybody else to win because I have worked for this all my life. I am the “Loose Cannon” for a reason, and I fully expected to win from the outset. To my family who helped me out over the years, thank you for sticking by my side. To those who I beat, I know you are all jealous that I won Weekend at Bernie’s 2, so if you really were hoping to win that, I can make copies for everyone…NOT! (Surprisingly, Borat never gets old.) And now to follow the tradition of anybody who ever won any sort of award I have to mention that I couldn’t have been here without the big man upstairs. So, in summary, I win, you lose, O’Doyle rules! And “WE’RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!!”
Sincerely,
Jeffrey “THE Loose Cannon” Rube-man
