Applying for: New Applicant
Reason for applying:
First/Last Name: Ryan HetzerI am passionate about OOTP and see it as my main hobby in life. I am in a couple of other leagues but I've kind of been searching and on the lookout for everything this league seems to bring to the table. I like producing content and have done so with other leagues, including a league podcast for a league that did not have one up until the point I took the initiative. I am reliable, I enjoy being active in the online leagues I am in, and I have a specific philosophy in building teams that is not a revelation but maybe slightly different than some may approach the building of their teams and roster.
City/State/Country: St.Louis, MO USA

Tell us more about yourself: I'm a school administrator, father of three, baseball is in my blood from playing in college, extensive coaching, and all along baseball gaming has been there. I played strat-o-matic as a kid and kept notebooks with boxscores and stats. Before console games had the capability, I kept notebooks full of stats and records to immerse myself in games like MVP baseball, Triple Play etc. I write for a St.Louis Cardinals well known blog and podcast site (well known within the Cardinal fansite community). It's called TwoBirdsonaBat and I've written hundreds of blogs for them in the past 2 years. I also have a Podcast called 'Long Gone'
How did you hear about the BBA?: OOTP forums looking for a third and final league as I felt I had the time and energy to give. Plus the SSG league is a live sim league, one day is one day in real life so it has a slower place.
