There are certain signs in life. When you are getting older, your knees go bad or a wrinkle pops up overnight.
When you are gaining weight, your belt doesn?t fit or it?s hard to button your pants. When you are turning into a nerd, you play fantasy sports.
I?ve been pretty safe through the first two signs, but alas the last one has gotten me. I?ve been an official fantasy player for the last three years and I don?t see myself giving it up soon.
For years I was against the concept of playing fantasy sports. I would ridicule those who even asked me to participate. My comebacks would include: ?Why would I fantasize about sports?? and ?Why would I need fantasy sports when I can watch the real ones?? I should have stuck to my guns.
I don?t remember the specifics, but I was roped into this fantasy world in 2004. After years of berating those poor souls scrounging through the most mundane statistics on the Internet, I have become one of them. I never envisioned this path. Fantasy baseball is my favorite and it?s starting up again very soon.
I?ve spent so much time checking on different players that I can answer the toughest questions.
Who do I need to keep on the bench during road games? Who can hit lefties?
The difference between Mark Sweeney and Mike Sweeney? This I know.
I?m not just playing fantasy sports. I?m winning leagues here. One of my baseball teams (yes, I was in more than one baseball league) won first place last year. After going through all the stats, making trades and picking up players through free agency, my team came in first place out of 12 teams. Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies was my stud player.
