How to Enter :
You may register to participate in the Contest from 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) on March 18, 2008 through 11:59 p.m. ET on September 8, 2008 (the “Registration Period”).
To register to participate, during the Registration Period visit www.mlb.com/fantasy and click on the banners, buttons and/or links to access the Contest registration page.
The object of MLB.com Beat the Streak (the “Contest”) is to establish a virtual “hitting streak” and keep it going for as long as possible. You’ll do this by selecting one Major League Baseball (“MLB”) player each game day, from a list displayed on MLB.com of MLB players who are on a MLB Club’s active roster on that day. If the player you select for that day gets at least one hit in that day’s games, your streak continues. If the player you select does not get a hit, you can still participate, but your streak is reset to zero. You must select a player each game day; however, you can make your daily player selections for up to ten (10) days in the future. If you fail to select a player for any game day, your streak will automatically reset to zero. You can select any player as many times as you want over the course of the Contest Period (as defined below).
Limit :
Limit one (1) registration per person.
