What is the dorkiest HBD quirk you have? Topic

Even playing HBD can be considered a nerdy thing... but wondering how obsessed some of you get?

I think my worst is, that I give my Major Leaguers jersey numbers in the excel sheets I save.

Every guy on my 40 gets a jersey number. And the one guy we have in the HOF had his retired.

I give my guys nicknames and they are hoooooorrible.

Dee Spahn - The Sphan man.

Don Parque - Don 'Parque the ball'

Dennys Jackson - Action Jackson.


And I've created fake bloodlines for my players.

An IFA I picked up a few years ago, Thomas Callabello, is the son of a retired HOF'er in our league Yunski Collabello.

One of my stud players, Derek Rose is son of the great, Pete Rose.

I've given a couple of guys nicknames.

Slammin' Sammy Davis and Jamey ******* Cambridge. 

And, if I get two guys with the same last name, I always refer to them as brothers even if one is a black guy from the Dominican and the other is a cornbread-eating  white boy from Nebraska.

Oh and The Great Jimmy Powell.

Haha. I've done that too. I have two Javier's right now on my team. I traded for lil Rodg (he's lil Rodriguez because he's not as good) and one year the Long brothers (one on San Diego one on Boise) won silver slugger awards.

Sometimes while driving in my car I will catch myself reviewing, out loud, team summaries and strategies. If my car is bugged ... somebody somewhere is either bored silly or dying laughing.

I think about faux sports section articles about my players or team

in order to troll the player's owner, somebody in Rickey (anonymous, but not me) made a twitter for  Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Russell Olsen

I go out of my way to make greats in my worlds don't get stuck at 2997 hits or so. If they are from Western Washington I try to narrow down where they live.

The first thing I do every morning is roll over and check my phone for the most recent score. And then between 11:19 and 11:24 I check for the score of the new game. At 7:19 I check for the score of the third game. I feel genuine joy and excitement seeing the small W next to the score.

One of the ways I get my starting line up some rest, is that I'll play a bench player instead if he is from the visiting state.  That way he can play in front of his friends and family.
