Application from Herb DeSpain - New Applicant

Post by Anonymous » Mon May 25, 2020 1:44 pm

A user, Herb DeSpain, has applied with the following information using the application form.
Real name: Herb DeSpain
IP: 38.86.68.92
Email: herbdespain@thedespainfamily.com
Applying for: New Applicant
Reason for applying:
I have owned every OOTP since V2. I run my own league(do not have a team) in the Heartland Baseball League which is nearing 50 years itself. I am only in one league that I run a team and that is the FABL(St. Louis Pioneers). I don't mind writing if there is someone to read and interact with. Winning is not as important as the overall enjoyment of the league. I do not like real MLB online leagues. I will only play fictional in a multiplayer environment.
First/Last Name: Herb DeSpain
City/State/Country: Shelbyville, Indiana
Email Address: herbdespain@thedespainfamily.com

Occupation: Production planner
Other OOTP Leagues (with links): FABL(http://legendsport.com/index.php), HBL(https://statsplus.net/hblootp/)
Have you read the BBA Constitution and agree to abide by its rules?: yes
Do you own the current version of OOTP, and plan to buy all future versions?: yes
Do you understand the Participation Point System, and agree to be a regular contributor to our community?: yes
What interests you about the BBA?: the community and fictional
Describe your GM style: flexible...rebuild when necessary, buy when necessary...goal is to win team wise but to have fun personally...if you need/want more info just ask
Have you ever answered to the alias "Al Hoot"? (a little BBA inside joke!): no
Tell us more about yourself: 48 year old father of four(oldest is 28, youngest is 14). Big Reds fan(even though they suck). Been playing OOTP for a long time
How did you hear about the BBA?: OOTP Boards

I was always told Indiana was the hotbed for basketball, not baseball. LOL Didn't even know Indiana had this many baseball fans, let alone that they all played OOTP. LOL
