Welcome. I suppose "spreadsheet dad baseball" is better than what my oldest calls it -- "nerdball".

My wife constantly asks me if I am nerding, although she does have to clarify if it is fake baseball nerding or athletics (that is track and field for my fellow Americans out there) nerding.

On a topical note, welcome Mike!!

What in god's name is athletics nerding? No. Nope. Never mind. Don't tell me. I don't think my wife can handle me if I add another "nerd" activity to the mix...

watching any track meet (or major marathon) that I can find and discussing it on boards that make this look like childs play with how opinionated people are.

Spreadsheet Dad Baseball actually lends it a dignity I'm not sure it deserves ...

Thanks fellas - i have just been getting familiarized with the site. Took in some podcasts while tackling the honey-doo list for the night. A bit more about myself, i have been playing OOTP since version 12 (all offline). In real life I am a die-hard Brewers & Lions Fan (Honolulu Blue and Shame are our colors). I have been to many games in Detroit and Milwaukee - I was at game 2 vs Dodgers last year in the NLCS. Born and raised in CT, ive been happily married for 23 years and have 2 boys (both in HS now). I work in the IT field, I co-commissioned a FF site for over 14 years with my bro-in law (before kids) so i know what its like on the other side of the glass. Happy to be hear and looking forward to the challenge of you other others that I have read and heard more about on the PodCasts tonight.

No one will admit they're a Lions fan, but me, well, I'll claim to being a Bengals fan (insert bag over head emoji here)
