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.

Excellent solution, Lance!

To be fair, the method of choosing the winning number was all Bill's idea. I just thought I'd better clarify asap as it seemed some were getting the wrong idea about there being a televised drawing

Thanks Lance,
As everyone can see, the response has been great. As intended, this thread was to propose a raffle and find out what kind of interest there would be and to hash out any details to this raffle.
The decision to move forward is yes and I hope to have tentative details, dates and the rest of the rules posted sometime soon.
Graig is excited to say the least, as he has been monitoring the responses and in his old humble way exclaimed, "I didn't expect this kind of a response."
So now I will get back to finishing up the rules so I can post them ASAP.
