Introductions

[kenny]

Time to break the ice!

Feel free to introduce yourself in this thread. I know we have a very diverse group of people here based on the conversations I've had with you guys. We have a Dutchman, a Frenchman, a former minor league baseball player, an American living in Cambodia, some younger, some older, some who are familiar with these types of leagues, and others who are going to be doing this for the first time. I'm excited to be running this league.

Yes I know, it's a little corny, but hey, it's a chance for us to get to know one another in this little community.


I'm Kenny, 25, AFB commissioner. Been playing fantasy baseball and football on and off since about 2000. Favorite team is the Mets! I was a civil engineering major in college and am now working as a construction superintendent at the World Trade Center in NYC. Photography is something I enjoy doing and have been spending more and more time on it the past few years.

Glad to be part of this experience. Looks extremely well organized.

I'm Mike 31, originally from Boston but completing my med residency in Montreal, QC Canada. FB is a great escape from the daily grind and a way to keep up with teams. I'm a huge fan of Moneyball so taking on the A's was a natural... glad 28 other guys didn't grab this team before me. lol

Looking forward to lots of activity and deals in this dynasty league! Again, great work setting things up Kenny.

First off the back i am glad to be apart the start of this well organized league!!!

I'm Cedric  I'm 22 years of age, I'm from Westmont, Il. Right now I am finishing a dual major in Finance and Economics. Afterwards I'm planning on going for my MBA and after that I plan I getting my law degree and hopefully one I will be able to become a corporate lawyer.

I've been playing FB for going on 9 years now. My favorite team will always be the cubs but in here you will know me as being the GM of the Mariners.

Hopefully we can have a great time together in this league

I love all sports equal and have played fantasy for a couple of years now. My favorite team is the Marlins and im really looking forward to their new stadium. Live in Miami and thats pretty much it. Glad to be a part of this league.

I'm tarheels55 (Dave Martin)

In here i'm the Texas Rangers just because i'm a baseball fan but grew up a Pirates fan as i grew up 50 miles from there.

I am LOL (OLDER)than most of you guys in here but have been playing 10 years or so because i'm an addict and i admit it.I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and there i played on the baseball team and was drafted in the cardinals organization but decided to stay in college and ultimately played a couple of years in the old Expo organization as a first basemen in their minor leagues in Florida where i married and had kids which took precedent over everything.I now live in NC mountains where i spend my time with grandkids and my Dog Buddy and my wife and the fresh air and all the golf courses i can play.Work comes into play also quite often but there all hobbies.Keep loving sports fellas it is the greatest i can attest to that as i don't know what i would do without it.

By the way that picture of Ramses the mascot of the tarheels that is my son.He is a graduate.

Hey,I'm HJ.
36 years old.Married.Huge Metalmusic Fan.
I'm from the Netherlands in Europe.
Ever since i was a child i loved the 4 major US sport leagues[NBA,NHL,MLB,NFL].
Never had the change to really follow all ins and outs of it though.
A couple of years ago a tv-stationNASN[now ESPN America] began to air these leagues.
Finally i could watch my favorit leagues.
Been totally hooked ever since.
Began playing fantasy a couple of years ago.
Real fun thing to do.
I'm a RedSox Fan,but my nickname kinda gave that away already.
Outside baseball i'm more a NY guy.Knicks[Amare],Islanders,Jets are my teams.
But i don't dislike any team really,just have a sympathy for most NY teams because on a holiday i had the change to visit some of their games.(couldn't get myself to go to a Yankees game though,being a RedSox fan and all.haha)

Here i'm the Astros,trying to get this franchise back on it's feet.
A challenge,but that's the way i like it.
