I went to see my first Cubs game in 1969 at the ripe old age of 4. Joe Pepitone and Jose Cardenal were my favorite players. Little did I know the annual heartbreak awaiting.
In 1991, 11 friends and I started a roto league, using the weekly Baseball America paper to manually compile stats. That lasted until kids/wives/jobs took up more time than we had. Then....came the internet. Stats online? Yes Please!

I recently moved to Orlando, FL and am looking forward to absorbing spring training starting in the 2015 season. When not compiling lineups and scouring for deep sleeper prospects, I'm a photography nut, a motorcyclist, a musician, and a husband (the last one is the hardest to learn...)
