Unfortunately Tiger Bob has left the building. He hung on last year at our request to give it a little more time but ultimately he decided he just didn't have the time to devote to this.
If you know anyone interested in joining let one of the committee members know. Our admission standards are pretty low.

Awwww man. I liked TigerBob. I wish I wasn't the only baseball geek in my circle of friends. I've got plenty of Tiger fans as friends, but none who would have any interest in a sim league.

I wish I wasn't the only baseball geek in my circle of friends. THIS! It's probably why I appreciate this league so much. A small percentage of the world are actual baseball fans, and a small percentage of those are nerdy enough for a DMB sim league. |

Yeah, I get excited when I meet someone who calls themselves a baseball fan and my first thought is always recruitment. So I start talking to them to try to find out how much they might be interested in a league like this and most just don't have the interest. It's a niche inside a niche.
I did meet one guy at my last job that was interested, but he was an insufferable asshole and I didn't like him. Baseball was the only thing we could talk about and not argue. I just didn't want him in the league.

I never said that. But it's easier to never hire an employee you know will be bad than to fire one you've already hired.

But I absolutely do not like the league and have now paid $100 in entrance fees, so I'd say it's been a slam dunk of an investment |

Played high school ball with Bobby Dalbec, played a couple years of college ball at ASU, still follows all the levels of professional and amateur baseball... no interest whatsoever in the sim league. He would rather spend more time with his burgeoning family and his sports betting habit. So lame. |

You're a trash goblin. Dalbec graduated from Legend HS in Parker, CO. Looking at ASU's rosters from 2010 to 2017, no players on those teams came from Legend HS. Several from areas around it like Aurora, Cherry Creek, and Morrison, but not Legend HS specifically. So there is a missing variable that we missing. Did your hiring manager change high schools before graduating or something? |

I'll bother him about it on Monday. I know his dad lives down there and has season tickets to ASU football and baseball games, so I might have intermingled the stories because his dad's family are huge ASU fans. Nonetheless, Connor remains a trash goblin even in the face of my memory being terrible! |
