Good luck!
Of the last 31 you have seen,
ubragging rights came with sixteen,
Each time you learn who wins,
Note how the text begins,
So you can prevent seventeen.
Puzzle Rules: The answer to the puzzle is a current or former Dodger. Comment freely in the thread, but if you have the solution, please don't give it away to everyone in the comments section. Instead, do the following:

You have until midnight PT tonight to submit your answer. Solution will be posted tomorrow. Good luck!
Hint #1 (10:00am): If you're confused with the 4th-to-last word of the resulting message, think about Tom Hanks' volleyball buddy.
Hint #2 (10:00am): You're gotta do it for all 31, not just the 16.
Hint #3 (2:00pm): Additional hint embedded in limerick.

Anybody working on this? Hint?
I'm working, and making progress.
Progress sent.
Hold on, getting coffee...
Sent in some progress, but seem to be stuck at the moment...
I've got everything but the answer.
No answer sent!
Answer sent... Don't feel overly confident, but it's an answer!
will review emails shortly...
Yowsa! Yowsa! Yowsa!
Hint will post soon...
Steve K in with the first correct answer!
1. Steve K
Newsflash: Mr C sort of got it before Steve K. I say 'sort of' because he sent in an answer that, excluding Hint #1, is just a valid as the actual answer.
So I'll have to make a judgment call. Result coming soon.
[1. Mr C?]
1. Steve K
Leave it to me to find a way to be outside the box.
Well, it makes more sense your way. I'm conceding my claim to the first answer.
Hint this!
East German judge votes for Mr. C, but I think Steve K stuck the landing
On last step. Don't know where to look for what I need.
Answer sent!
Mr C graciously concedes top stop. So it's:
1. Steve K
2. Mr C
Will check your email shortly Josh and will try to post another hint too soon
So my two wins this year are the one created by Mr. C that he couldn't compete in and this one, in which Mr. C conceded the win.
Josh S is in!
1. Steve K
2. Mr C
3. Josh S
BTW, if Mr C's concession becomes the difference between his victory and Ubragg's, I will have to reconsider letting him concede.
Had ideas. Not panning out. Hmmm.
Hint #3 posted
Answer sent.
Jason is fourth:
1. Steve K
2. Mr C
3. Josh S
4. Jason
Lots of research. Lots of notes. Not a clue.
I'm actually pretty surprised by the low number of solvers.
As am I.
I'm also surprised.
Those surprised by the low number of solvers:
1. Josh S
2. Mr C
3. Steve K
Answer sent!
