Applying for: New Applicant
Reason for applying:
First/Last Name: Bob CooperI play OOTP full time these days now that I'm retired. I have plenty of time to devote to a league at this point. I've played every version of OOTP since before it was called OOTP. I've always been primarily a solo player, but now that I have the time I decided to join some online leagues. Basically I would be a dedicated, involved GM because I have the desire and the time. I also like to do write-ups, which i even do in my solo leagues.

What interests you about the BBA?: Obviously it's a long standing stable league. I'm retired now and have the time to fully immerse myself in online leagues and the appeal of your league is the focus on immersiveness.
Describe your GM style: I like to micromanage, set stategies for individual players, big on platooning, will always listen to trade talk.
Have you ever answered to the alias "Al Hoot"? (a little BBA inside joke!): Not that I recall
Tell us more about yourself: Just a pure fan of baseball, my father took me to my first MLB game in 1962, in Connie Mack stadium, saw Casey Stengel and Gene Mauch manage that day. I saw Sandy Koufax pitch in Spring Training in Orlando. I've seen Hank Aaron and Willie Mays play in person in Atlanta. Saw the Big Red Machine in the 70's. Been to most of the ballparks east of the Mississippi, including the old Yankee stadium and old Comiskey Park, Wrigley field before the lights. Also, I own one of the original 88 copies of Bill James first baseball book that he published himself and ran out of paper after 88 copies. Of course he went on to write his Baseball
