OT: How many Fantasy Baseball leagues are you in?

[Leon]

Me too except I don't even like watching much MLB anymore. It never came back for me from 22 yrs ago, the '94 strike. That being said I still love to play (softball) and love the game, just not MLB......Every now and then I will watch a few innings but I don't really care for it.

Nothing would take the fun out of enjoying watching baseball faster to me than having to worry about whether the catcher of the Minnesota Twins or shortstop of the Marlins got two hits tonight.

Whatever the gene is to get off on that stuff just passed me by.

The thing I enjoy about fantasy baseball is that it exposes you to other players around the league. I'm a Yankees fan and I really only care about the Yankees. But when I get involved in fantasy baseball I get involved in following other guys too.

I play in 1, a dynasty league in it's 8th year, and regularly turn down invitations to others. It's conflicting enough to watch a game in which one of your batters is facing one of your pitchers and you don't know what you hope will happen. I found that playing in multiple leagues made watching baseball impossible: I didn't know how to feel about anything happening on the field.

The great thing about playing fantasy baseball, as noted by the previous poster, is how much you learn about all of the teams and players you wouldn't care about otherwise. Since they might make a difference to your team, you end up learning about everybody, which I find more satisfying than only knowing something about the local nine.

I am with you, Leon. The nostalgia from my youth of playing ball, all through high school, is what drives me collecting. Modern baseball just doesn't do it for me (though I do still root for the Dodgers, I rarely watch a game). Therefore, no Fantasy leagues.

Amazing - the moderator of a baseball card board admits he doesn't like MLB baseball (at least modern MLB). The things that make you go "hmmmm".
