Team: Tucson Cactus
GM: Stephen Lane
Other Leagues: SFA, GLB
Location: Norwalk, CA (just oustide of LA)
Occupation: Global Resite Engineer (basically I work on projects to re-qualify materials for use in aerospace. Without me, airplanes would be falling out of the sky!)
Birthday: February 1
Family: wife, married November 2015
Accolades: Pitched for an NCAA Div III school for a couple years. I'm left handed and always thought if I were just a few inches taller I could have been good. Competent at many things, great at few.
How would your friends describe you: Sarcastic, self-deprecating
Favorite Sports Moment: various playoff games at Dodger Stadium
Favorite Sports Movie: not sure
Favorite MLB Team: Dodgers
Favorite MLB Player: Kershaw
Favorite NFL Team: Packers of course
Favorite NBA Team: don't really care about the NBA but Lakers I guess?
Favorite NHL Team: Anaheim Ducks
Favorite College: Wisconsin Badgers! (I married into a Wisconsin family, hence the Packers and Badgers, wife's family comes from Cuba City, WI)
One place in the World you would like to visit: Italy
GM "Style": Nothing radical...have a plan, stay within the budget. Sign smart contracts.
Why do you love online baseball?: I'm a very competitive person so that's natural. And who wouldn't love to be a GM, so it's pretty cool to be able to do it, if only in an OOTP online league.

GM "Style": never special for me, conservative, focused on pitching/defense ( but after many failure i think it's time to change), Draft and fill in holes through FA - like to take full control of minors roster.
Why do you love online baseball? I like to be involved in sport "virtual universe" and i have a lot of fun.
Another thing: i'm approached Baseball late, in my late 40's, i fall in love of it, for me on-line league ( or replay games by others sw) help to take familiarity about "strange" numbers as AVG., OBS. OPS. ect. ect.

My favorite teams are so disappointing anymore, I find myself pulling hard against a team more so anymore than I do pulling for my own teams.

I once drove from the airport at Columbus, OH to Cincinnati to watch Reds/Dodgers and then drove to Marietta, OH. That was crazy.

I like other teams, sure. I'm always happy to see the Jays do well, and I have a soft spot for the As as well. But I would never call myself a fan of any club but the Cubs.
