Name: James "Sawyer" Ford
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
Birthdate: July 1, 1976
Hometown: Jasper, Alabama
Position: 2b
Bio: James has had a troubled life. After watching his father kill his mother for losing the family's money in a sex scam, he witnessed his father take his own life. While struggling to cope with the death of his parents, Ford created two goals for his life. One was to find the man who ruined his family's life, a man by the name of Sawyer. Secondly, Ford wanted to become a professional baseball player. Not possessed with a strong arm, Ford was placed at 2b, the only position a man with a weak arm could play. He's never been dedicated to the game, spending most of his time travelling from school to school as he searches for Sawyer. In many instances, Ford used his successes on the playing field to scam random women into sleeping with him. Now that he's on the verge of becoming a big leaguer, Ford hopes to use his newly found fortune to run long con's on women and continue to hunt down Sawyer.

Name: Frank "the Pilot" Lapidus
Bats: Left
Throws: Left
Birthdate: October 24, 1976
Hometown: Bronx, New York
Position: RF
Bio: Frank gets his nickname for two reasons. The most obvious is he has a love for flying planes. Frank learned to Pilot his own aircraft at the age of 14. While many kids were dreaming of getting a car at the age of 16, Lapidus was dreaming of flying the friendly skies. Those who have only watched Frank play baseball would assume his nickname comes from the monster homeruns Lapidus hits when he comes to bat. Frank's best line in high school came when he overheard a fan state after one of his homeruns "That homerun traveled so far it should have a stewardess on it!" Lapidus looked at the man and said, "Well, I'll be the Pilot!"

Name: Hugo "Hurley" Reyes
Bats: Left
Throws: Right
Birthdate: January 20, 1973
Hometown: Miami, Florida
Position: DH
Bio: Hugo has a love for chicken. Especially fried chicken. It's relatively evident he loves to eat when you look at his 6 foot 2, 375 pound frame. Growing up, Hugo was limited to what he could do due to his size. Many told him football was the only sport suitable for a man of his size. But Reyes loved baseball. When he tried out for his high school team, his coach told him he couldn't play the field to his lack of speed. Fortunately, the state of Florida has a designated hitter slot for their high school teams and Reyes was fortunate enough to find himself in the lineup as a senior. He was an all or nothing guy. He either hit a homerun or was an out. On 6 occassions his senior season, Reyes hit a ball into the outfield, only to be thrown out a first base due to his lack of speed on the basepaths. He was plunked by a pitch 18 times that year. Any inside pitch usually got swallowed up by Reyes' massive gut.

Not only is he in the game, but he's a badass catcher.

I thought we were focusing on purely made up guys?

[recte44]

The aim is to have about 90% fictional, and then 10% celebrity. It's fun in small doses.....especially with real life people that you can actually find a tie-in to baseball (example, some of the rappers we have and guys like Brett Favre; other sports stars are a great way to go).

HAHA NO, but me and my wife watched seasons 1-5 on Netlflix and season 6 on hulu in about a 2-3 month span so we could watch the finale when it aired. For 3 solid months, the only thing on my tv at home was the NCAA tournament, MLB, and LOST. And that isn't an exaggeration.

That's why I presented my Kid Rock one last year...huge Tiger Fan, throws out the first pitch, does things like that. Hes the right age, too.

Boston Ron from Survivor I thought was decent because he always wears that Damn Red Sox cap!

And Kid Rock made it into the draft and is now rocking it out in the Crusaders' farm system. I couldn't bring myself to put Boston Rob in.

But, on the whole, we are largely focusing on amateurs we ourselves make up.

I was going to create the whole male cast, but didn't want to OVERRUN the league with LOST characters.
