Haha! My father is Rich Lederer of Baseball Analysts/Bert Blyleven HoF candidacy fame...I merely penned a few articles on his site before he became a grandfather and retired as a blogger.

Howdy, everyone! Thrilled to be a part of the world (?) famous MBWBA (and UMEBA). It's been a struggle to find a league that doesn't fold within the first year and has consistently more than 66% real GMs, so this opportunity is extremely exciting.

So...you aren't Howard Lederer or Annie Duke for that matter? Just don't stare me down....I hope you enjoy the league!

No relation to Howard Lederer or his famous linguist father, the other Richard Lederer, but I am down to play Hold 'Em or talk puns.

As someone who wasn't hugged a lot as a child (kidding!), I appreciate all the warm welcomes. I think this single thread alone has had more engagement among GMs than the last year of the last online OOTP league I was in.

I've been scouting Airbnb spots in the Middle East (not as fruitful as I had hoped) as I prep from my new endeavor within the BBA universe. Thank you all, now let me get back to the conference call with both my real estate agent and pitching coach as I stress to them the importance of location, location, location.

Never thought I 'd say there's too many Lederers around to keep track of.
