Also known as the Annual North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan Award For Outstanding Newcomer.

What better way to start off the festivities than by honoring those newest to the group? The awards are pretty simple. You know the drill. I'll put the poll up, and we spend the course of the Diary pretty much shamelessly pleasuring these fine people.

These four posters emerged here over the last year and have spent that time distinguishing themselves among our ranks as valuable, irreplaceable figures. Distinguished enough, even, to warrant individual nominations from their vry peers. All, in my opinion, are deserving candidates, and regardless of who ends up the victor, I'm just glad that they saw fit to come along and contribute.
