I like fantasy football and every fall/winter I play in 3-4 leagues. Sometimes I win it all, sometimes I’m an also ran, other times I loose horribly. Every year after the SuperBowl I look forward to the next season so I can play again. I’m not much of a hoops watcher, although March Madness grabs my attention, and hockey, although watchable isn’t something I follow. Baseball is OK, but I don’t pay much attention to it until late September and the playoffs. However, I miss the fantasy sports world and figured I give Fantasy Baseball a try, at least for a year. Who knows, I might get into the game if I have a more vested interest in the players.
ESPN.com has free leagues and I found the most appropriate league to give this a try. The league is called “I Hate Baseball” and my team is the Keene Black Flys. Since I know next to nothing about “who’s who” in baseball outside the household names in the paper, I picked an autodraft leage that scores points based on pitching and batting stats.
We’ll see how this goes. Might actually be fun. At the very least I’ll have a new topic to talk about with my buddies that do follow baseball.
