With only one more game looming in the 2010 season, Menace players have become a family over the last few months. The players have grown accustomed to each other quite a bit, and with this week being the last this team will spend together, they share what they've learned.

As the 2010 Menace season comes to a close, the players have grown into a family over the past few months. The team takes the field one last time against St. Louis this Saturday. Each player cast his vote for each of the following questions, and here are the winners:

  1. Who is the smartest?

 

Team Genius: Yuki Kariya (9 votes)

My comment: With all due respect to Kariya and Schmoker, I’m shocked by this. I guess the Ivy League doesn’t impress most Menace players (Stephen Baker is going to Penn this fall, hint, hint).
