As an avid Yankee/baseball fan since the age of 3, baseball has been ingrained into my repertoire for many years. It is the pure passion of the game that keeps me on the edge of my seat from the first crack of the bat in spring training, to the last pitch of the World Series. Growing up in Upstate New York for my whole life, it has been a privilege to be able to make visits out to Cooperstown, NY for the Hall of Fame. In fact, my family call it, 'Going to church' as we went, and still go, so frequently. It has been my religion, in essence, ever since. The Hall of Fame is really where you can take in the true appreciation for the game. My parents would basically be pushing me out of each room, just cause I could not get enough of the memorabilia, plaques and history within those timeless confines.
In terms of fantasy baseball, I have been an active participant in homegrown dynasty, rotisserie, auction and 2 keeper leagues since 2008. It has been important to observe sabermetrics into all of my players for my dynasty or redraft leagues. I can not get enough finding that breakout player before Opening Day, scooping up that prized call-up prospect to bring your fantasy team to the promised land or snagging a post-hype sleeper as he has the breakout year we have been expecting, just by implementing the advanced statistics into my roster decisions. Statistics are a part of the game, and with each passing year they seem to be looked at more and more. It is an honor to assist you with roster development, draft choices, sleepers, studs, duds and everything in between, in helping you make it 'YOUR YEAR' for your fantasy team. Play Ball!
