Ye Olde Commish,
It has been a pleasure to be a part of your online leagues for the last 17 years of my life. Thank you for the time and love you put into this wonderful world, and for letting me ride along on this epic journey. Thanks for putting up with all the headaches I've caused. I have managed some 45 baseball seasons in a Matt Rectenwald league, and have enjoyed every one. I kind of wonder how many online years you have, and if "Ye Olde Commish" sometimes feels every single one when the latest dustup, controversy, rule issue, or bug occurs. I would have quit by now. This is obviously a labor of love, and it is a wonderful thing to be able to witness and enjoy.
Happy Birthday Recte!
and thank you.
Happy Birthday to Our Fearless Leader!

Re: Happy Birthday to Our Fearless Leader!
Actually, the "how many virtual baseball birthdays" you have is a really interesting question.
Personally, I think you look pretty good for 200 years old.

Happy Birthday, Matt. Thanks for providing this corner of the world for a bunch of guys still wanting to be eight years old playing baseball on a sandlot somewhere.

Re: Happy Birthday to Our Fearless Leader!
That’s so right Matt, when I first joined the MBBA I was the flakiest GM out but as the years have worn on I could never now envisage a future without the BBA
