PRESENTING: Your 2062 BBA Media Guide!

Post by RonCo » Thu Feb 06, 2025 3:08 pm

Image There they go again…

I thought last season may never be topped, but I dunno man, this year’s content…it’s just getting to the point where it’s hard to rate the BBA Goodness that you guys are creating year-over-year. Great is Great. There are no gradations, right?

Beyond all the “normal” previews and whatnot, the list of features is Full of Amazing.

First, there’s Nathan Garrison—who has embarked on a GARTGANTUAN project, putting together franchise All-Time Modern Era Teams. He’s got four of them in this volume. They are great reading for BBA newbies, but are guaranteed to bring a sentimental tear to the eyes of BBA long-haulers. Much great. Renato Umali checks in with BBA Hols ’em, a new BBA fandom craze. GBC’er Justin Beloit pens a view from the pen of a player. And don’t even get me started on what Jessie Ramirez has done—mostly because even if I could describe it, I wouldn’t want to ruin it for you.

And, did I mention that Mrs. 7teen makes an appearance? Chris presents his interview of his most patient half that really cannot be missed.

There are a few regulars, too. Of course. The Caleca Award is awarded. As is the 2042 Kevin Morales Award. Minors are reviewed. Good Cop/Bad Cop raises some questions perhaps better of not answered. And, of course, the Hall of Fame Inductees are … um … inducted.

And thanks to John Momberg, also for his BBA-mashups of cartoons.


As always, this has been so fun to put together. And, seriously, once again you really don't want to skip anything.

That's cool!


The fans hated it when the vote happened but when the merch came out it was embraced. I have a large amount of Chihuahua's and our alter ego Margaritas gear.

I agree with the choices on the CF All-time team. I might have chosen Dempster over Chapel, but that's the most I can say.

Thanks. Dempster vs Chapel was a close one. I thought about going with Dempster because he was great for an extra 80 games but eventually decided on Chapel’s lead in so many key stats.

didn't know Charlotte was such a young franchise.
And thanks to the opening cartoon, I managed to rectify, or maybe jessiefy, my Opening Day roster.

All around awesome Media Guide. What a bunch of talent, lore, depth, and wit! Great cartoons, John Momberg, did you do the color illustrations too? Haiku, interviews, fiction, previews, history, I'm still reading! Bad cop/good cop was/were amazing. Great job, Ron, putting it all together and publishing it. Everything was good; only improvement will be to have more contributors next issue!

Loved @Trebro's Morales Award write-up about Steve Tucker.

I was the GM of Boise when he got his BBA call-up in 2054. Fun fact: one of the main reasons I called him up was that @shoeless.db told me to when he sent back the Rule 5 pick. I know better than to disregard his advice. That, and his insane 10 eye (11 against lefties).

I didn't actually know he was originally a 20th round pick, so thanks for that journey. It was fun.

Awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed! Little tidbits like this are why I started the feature. Can't wait to see what else we encounter along the way!
