OK. I'm game . . . Rodney lives in Indianapolis after stints in Minneapolis and Salem Oregon in the past few years. Grew up in Indy and WLW with Marty and Joe Reds fan since 1970, but became a big Twins fan while living in MN and having season Tickets. Married to SHerry (who is a bit of a WIS legend as she has filled in during drafts when I was traveling and internet was unavailable). I was actually accused of being a pron star (jeri chokings). Jericho Kings was the name of my first Fantasy Team back in the 80s and I have kept the handle ever since. Oldest son is in the Navy (submarines) and is currently deployed somewhere in the Persian Gulf. YOungest just turned 13 and has Down Syndrome. After years in Sales and Marketing, I have been pastoring a church in Indy for the past 2+ years. Graduate of Purdue and still have season tickets for FB and BB. Got my seminary degree in Ft Worth Texas (Rangers connection). Love baseball always have and loved it more when I discovered WIS. Help start the GM league fun here at WIS - was making up crazy rules (FATs, etc) and then came HBD. Glad to be back playiong fake ball with real players.

Andy. Live in Dublin, CA. Grew up a Dodger fan then my brain started working, and now I root for the locals: Giants and A's. Definitely more of a Giants fan though. Because of the early Dodger idiocy, became a huge Steve Garvey fan. Currently teach High School history and am working on my master's in educational leadership, but increasingly finding educational leadership to be quite the oxymoron. Married, have two kids (5 and 2) and need my WIS fix to function in society. I've had a million teams and can't quite get past drafting players I like as opposed to players that will help me win, so I am still seeking that elusive first championship. Currently in 3 other progressives, and find them way better than single season teams...

Steve... As i stated earlier... I am a diehard Mets fan too. My little boys room is all decked out with Mets everything from the fathead to the lamp to the bedding... My wife suprised me this year for my birthday with a trip to New York and most importantly tickets to the Mets and Reds for my first game at Shea.

Tom Sellick...no the Tigers are not my favorite team and I never worked on a show in Hawaii. However (ONLY difference ick)my wife can honestly say she's married to Tom Sellick.
My birthday was this past election day Nov.4(1960) which fits since I teach 12th grade Govt. after doing 23 years of 8th grade U.S. history.

Born in San Francisco raised in South San Francisco(My mom has the same phone number as it was when I was born.). 10 minutes from the stick. Christopher Milk had coupons you could cut from the back of the milk carton and get into the game for free with a paying adult. My dad would be the paying adult and take the block. For a long time I thought wearing thermo underware to a baseball night game in July was normal.
College- 8 hours away in SoCAL graduated with a degree in Political Science from California Baptist University.
Actually saw Fernando pitch,"You fat burrito" (Class)
Teaching credential from SF State where I met my wife of 23 years who played on the softball team that went to the college WS.
Loved playing football and baseball....great coach because lol I knew how to sit on the pine.
Got a job in Mendota(Central near Fresno) been here ever since. Very rural.

LOL, yes I get paid to talk.
Stopped coaching Jr. High baseball 15 years ago.
Moved to the High School for the election. Almost all my Seniors the last 2 years are my former students from 8th grade.
2 kids..girls 18 and 21 one is at SF State and younger at UCSD.
My wife is a teacher too, who is now an administrator(lol the dark side)
As a kid used dice with my baseball cards and keep stats. Wanted to be a sports announcer(Well I do play historical baseball in class with my own commentary)
Number of years ago was with a group guys who drafted guys in A ball and watched them come to the majors as the games very simulated on the commissioners computer..it was great..league ended when our 30 yr. old comish got a teaching job.
Looking for something to replace it found fantasy baseball and Stats(Bill James)later ESPN then imagine sports. Later I wandered into What if but hated the clones. Later discovered the progressives and I was hooked...I suck at the other place(Only stay because of a group of guys...do ok here.
Stumbled upon Larry just recently. Wow what league!
Very sorry..lol I'm sure most of you have stopped reading
