So essentially an independent, verifiable random number (with a baseball theme for fun).
That way everything is laid out in advance, no board members have any control over the selection of the winning number, and there should be no cries of "foul" or any question of the results being manipulated.

I guess I'm brain-dead today, or did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night (or both...)
If the contest is limited to 200 entries, what if the attendance for the pre-selected game is is 28,917?
So the winning number is then 917... but the entries go from only 1 - 200. How will this determine a winner?
I'm sure there's an obvious answer... just not getting it
