We had a good turnout for the Baseball Talk 101 February Contest. I enjoyed reading all of this month's entries. The variety of takes on the relationship between Baseball and the Real Estate industry was refreshing. This variety speaks directly to the different approaches people take in their professional dealings. I must also point out that the results of this month's contest also demonstrates that the inherent positive qualities of the sport cross archaic gender boundaries. I hope you all find some positive inspiration in this month's entries that can translate directly to your professional life.

And now for the results:

Della's Blogs!Our first place winner is Della Lambert with her post Baseball is Like Real Estate -February contest 1000 POINTS!

Lindsay's Blogs!Our second place winner is Lindsay Pendleton with her post Baseball and Real Estate: There's No "I" in Team!!! 750 POINTS!

Brande's Blogs!Our third place winner is Brande Bradford with her post Baseball Talk 101 Contest Entry...Baseball and Real Estate...Two Very Similar Games 500 POINTS!

With the understanding these three capable Realtors are able to convey in both these entries and their other postings, I would say they are excellent referral sources and informational sources should you need either. Clicking on their names will take you to their profiles, clicking on their pictures will take you to their blogs, and clicking on their winning blog title will take you to their entry!

Keep on the lookout for the March Baseball Talk 101 contest! Winners and entrants have been submitted to Bob Stewart for dispersal! There is also a Season Long Contest - Your Winning Picks! that is going on. By clicking on the hyperlink you can see the rules for this BIG POINTS CONTEST!

Debbie - Everyone did a great job but alas there could only be three winners and they were the ladies. I think as much backlinking as possible is a good thing.
