HeavyHardMetalmania: NORMA JEAN CHALLENGES YOU TO A FANTASY BASEBALL BATTLE

Calling all baseball fans -- join the Almighty Norma Jean Fantasy Baseball challenge to compete against Norma Jean and fans across the world! We're using ESPN's Fantasy Baseball challenge to host the contest and running it until the end of the MLB regular season. At the end of the season we'll turn to the overall leaderboard to determine the winners. The first place winner will receive a pair of tickets to the Norma Jean show of their choice where the winner will be invited ON STAGE to accept a special trophy from the band. The trophy comes courtesy FantasyTrophies.com. It will be custom engraved with the winner's name -- you can check it out here: http://www.fantasytrophies .com/ft/product/baseball/ace. Three runners up will win autographed vinyl copies of Meridional. Of course if we win, Norma Jean keeps the trophy! But you won't let that happen, will you? Here's a few key pieces of information about the league:

1.) You'll need a MyESPN account to participate. Registration is free atESPN.com

2.) You will need to join the Almighty Norma Jean league found here:http://games.espn.go.com/bbc/en/group?groupID=14891 -- password is meridional
