So Commish informed me I haven't done this yet. Sorry. Here goes.
Hi my name is Micheal. 29 years old with a wife and 4 year old. I live in Aiken, SC which is right across the river from Augusta, GA. This is where the Masters golf tournament is held. I am a pharmacy manager in a town at a local pharmacy. So I get the luxury of dealing with all the crazy people of the world. I love baseball. My wife gets mad all the time because I inform her that baseball was my first love. I now run sports leagues for kids so I get lucky and still get to play a little ball every now and then.
Favorite movie : I love some one liners from Rookie of the Year but I also love Sandlot Favorite player: Growing up it had to be Frank Thomas. Can't explain how a boy from South Carolina ended up liking a team from Chicago??

Aaron, or bigfly73 which if you don't get is a reference to a home run and the number of home runs that Barry hit in '01. Yes I'm a big Barry fan, and no I don't want to hear your rant about him I'm 34, from Sacramento, huge Giants fan. Also a 49ers, and NY Knicks fan(sadly.) Yes I also like the Kings(sadly.) I'm unemployed, which would be great if I could make it work and devote 100% of my time to baseball and fantasy, bad sadly I will be homeless soon without a job. Oh and I pretty much set this league up and then got a little burned out and luckily had two awesome owners willing to take over the reigns so to speak in Py2sl and Turbanator. Favorite Movie: Anything to do with baseball is usually good, except for when it's not like The Babe. Favorite Player: All time- Will Clark, although I'm sure it would be Willie Mays if I could have seen him play. Currently it's Buster Posey and Matt Cain.

My name is Bobby, and I'm 32 years old. I've lived in the Seattle area for about two years now. I grew up in the area, but spent ten years in the Sacramento area until I moved back up here when I was 30. I'm on my second marriage and have a 6 month old son named Oliver. I do inventory for a wholesale restaurant supply store. It's a pretty crap job. Once my wife finishes up her master's degree then I can go back to school to get a degree in education so I can be an elementary school teacher. Then hopefully I'll be a bit less miserable for most of my day. My favorite player as a kid was Jose Canseco. I collect baseball cards and wanted to be a Jose Canseco super collector, but sort of ruined it when I bought a couple thousand on Ebay at once. Ebay ruins the sports cards hobby. Boo. My favorite baseball movie is the documentary by Ken Burns. Not sure if that counts, and if not, then it's *61.

Kyler, 24, Worcester Massachusetts I'm a fantasy sports enthusiast and a huge baseball fan. I remember one of the first games I went to as a little kid (5 or 6) and I caught a foul ball from Mo Vaughn, the original big papi, and I've been in love with the game ever since. Played through high school, made all-conference junior year, got lightly recruited by local colleges until I threw out my shoulder and had to move to 1B (I'm 5'8 and at the time like 150 pounds so I was a little unique for the position haha). Now I run a camp for children with Type One Diabetes year round, and spend a lot of my free time going to the gym, binging netflix, reading, and probably spend far too much time with fantasy sports.
My favorite baseball movie is Rookie of the Year, with Angels in the Outfield and Little Big League. Also like the rookie with dennis quaid and of course field of dreams. Looking forward to chatting/negotiating/competing with all of you!

Bert 36 (Feels 60) Berkeley, CA
I grew up in the LA area and moved up north for college, UC Berkeley, and I never went back. Didn't really get too much into baseball until around '98 and thought that Nomar Garciaparra must be the best player ever... that didn't work out too well, but I stuck with the Red Sox. Having access to the A's was also helpful, much easier to attend games vs. the Dodgers or Angels. My first dynasty league was with Stephen and Eric, and I remember seeing 30 teams with all the rules and thought "This is f*cking insane... I have to do this." Three leagues later, here I am!
Favorite baseball movie is The Natural, hands down. If you are a Big Lebowski fan (like you can basically recite the movie word for word) and think Office Space should be shown as a corporate orientation film, I think we are going to get along.

Mark, 30, Chicago Suburbs
Grew up in Chicago watching Sammy Sosa and Frank Thomas. One of the few people that roots for both teams and not just one. The Cubs had some rough years but Theo has righted that ship. Cant believe the Cubs sold for $845 million in 2009 and the Marlins have a deal for $1.6 Billion. At first I didn't like the Sox going full rebuild because they have a lot of talent on that team, but the returns have sold me. The past few years, I have moved out of the 10-12 teams leagues and started going to 20 teams, as it is much more challenging. This is my first salary league so I'm excited to be here. I work in an accounting firm and I guess my favorite baseball movie would be Major League.

Joe, 27.
Born in Carle Place, NY (tiny little town on Long Island). Moved to the DC area before I could hold my own bottle and have been here ever since. While all my friends growing up were DC sports fans, my parents raised me right. Yankees and Giants were the only way. Been a pretty solid fandom over the past 20 years, I've had the pleasure of experiencing 5 WS wins and 2 Super Bowls, and a few losses of each. Married for 2 years, and a daughter who just turned 1. Football has always been my sports fan passion, but baseball always held a special place in my heart as I grew up playing it, idolizing Derek Jeter like every other Yankee fan between the ages of 20-35. Favorite baseball movie is 61*.
