Draft night 2005

Last Thursday night at Rookies Sports bar, I conducted my 7th annual Fantasy Basebal Draft. One helluva night. Four solid hours of drinking beer, talking baseball with a bunch of baseball geek friends and drafting a team of MLB players. Some of these guys I see but once a year, but by October, after 4 or 5 hundred postings on the Yahoo Fantasy Baseball bulletin board, they are like your best buddies. An incredibly cool and addicting pastime. Fantasy Baseball IS what the Internet was invented for. My Team... the Jazzters. Baseball is almost here, and that's the best sign that Spring has Sprung.

Yaeh, and I awlyas thought slpeling was ipmorantt.

Pretty cool, huh?

Totally psyched! Initial discussions went real well. 2nd round to come early next week. Sounds like great opportunity. Even has ties to my favorite company. More info to come as this develops.
