With 2014 just getting started, we'll take a look at the best cooler soakings of 2013. The third highest scoring walk off shower went to Jamie Erdahl and Gomes.

C/Q = 8.8
D = 4

Scoring an 18.8 made her one of the wettest reporters of 2013. MLB, youtube and twitter helped score the soaking.

Cooler Cup 2014

A couple years ago, the Nationals had a couple Gatorade showers go off course... and the sideline reporter got the better of it.... and as boys will be boys the trend took off last year with several teams getting into the act. This year we intend to recognize the reporter who falls victim the most/worst and review some of the unluckiest from last year. To add some competition, below is a scoring system to determine the hardest luck reporter. Until the weather and baseball season heats up, several of last years highlights will be scored and reviewed periodically.

Individual Reporter Scoring
Coverage/Quantity: how much the reporter ended up wearing
+ appx # of coolers on reporter instead of player *2
+ up to 2 points for visible soaking of front
+ up to 2 points for visible soaking of back
+ up to 2 points for visible soaking of top/shirt
+ up to 2 points for visible soaking of pants
+ up to 2 points for visible soaking of hair


Damage: how much the dry cleaning bill would be
+ up to 4 for off colored liquid - dark on light clothes, staining
female wardrobe
+2 wearing heels +2 wearing a skirt + 2 wearing a dress
male wardrobe
+2 wearing a collared shirt +2 wearing a tie + wearing a suit coat


Publicity/Timing: how easy was it to score, how big of a game
+ up to 3 points rating of video coverage/availability
+ up to 3 points rating of photo coverage/availability
+2 postseason - including clinching celebrations
+3 all star game or another national broadcast/reporter who doesn't cover the team regularly
+4 world series

Bonus points: new ones to be added, scoring of last years included
+2 for second day in a row (+4 for the really unlucky third day in a row)
+3 for first day on job
+2 for reporters own cooler

Team Scoring
ratings under 10 will not count toward team, but will toward individual
victim and culprit's team gets the reporters score added to team points
new in 2014, once a team reaches 30 points, -2 for a reporter scoring less than 10
