Do you own OOTP12, and plan to buy future versions? yes
We have a Participation Point System to foster activity. Cool with this? Understand this completely? I am getting up to date with this right now.
Willing to troll the boards and participate in polls? yes
Have you read and understand the MBBA League Constitution? currently reading
What interests you about the MBBA? I want to join a great, ongoing fictional OOTP league that has lots of depth and tradition. I love the OOTP format and guarantee you'd be getting an active, enthusiastic member.
Do you have any weird OOTP quirks that we should know about - like you don't believe in making trades? I love historical-fictional leagues. I love low injuries.
What other hobbies do you have? I do yahoo fantasy baseball and hockey. In each sport, I commission two leagues. I have been active in "fantasy baseball" since I played play-by-mail leagues with the APBA board game (pre-PC). My all time favorite player is Phil Niekro, whose autograph I got on July 4, 1984, the night he struck out his 3000th batter. I attended the 1972 All Star Game with my dad and brother. We moved to Texas a couple years later. I am still a Braves fan and also a longtime Rangers fan. I've been following the NHL since the year after the strike (four or five seasons).
I am an avid movie fan. I love traveling and dabbling in foreign languages.
EDIT TO ADD: I was a 11-year old fan in Atlanta (charting Hank Aaron's home runs) when I heard about the so-called trial run idea about a "designated hitter." (What the heck?!) I am still waiting for that trial run to be over and the A.L. get back to playing real baseball.
