I’m returning baseball fan and lifetime management sim game fan and after buying the game twice before fully giving it a chance and now I’m hooked; I’ve tried everything from the classic A’s/Rockies rebuild to staying up until 3 AM setting up a “realistic” expansion team and am now want to dive into an online league

Describe your GM style: I love a good rebuild, with a focus on building around cornerstone players or drafting my own future star(s) and trading around them, with a preference for pitching and power hitting

How did you hear about the BBA?: Found it on the Reddit weekly online league thread

Glad to have you with us, Ryan… I took a course in fencing in college, and it was a lot of fun. I wish I’d pursued it further, although I’m sure I could never have reached the level it sounds like you have.

Either one of you are welcome to come over and build a new fence in my backyard.

Thanks y'all for the warm welcome! After tonight, I should be re-adjusting from a night schedule for the job I'm leaving, but I will be spending my free time catching myself up on where the league is and looking at the Media Guide as it seems that it's the eve of preseason!

Honestly it’s never too late to come back (although it can be a bit pricy, lookin for a fencing club where I’m moving to try and pick it up again if I have time!
