Favorite Baseball Memory: Sid Bream slide, or Braves World Series Victory. We were essentially the Buffalo Bills playing the damn Cowboys in the Super Bowl Every year – it was nice to mix in a win.

1^st MLB Game : Braves game at Turner Field, no clue who they played – I was a kid

How did you get into the WWBA: Anthony Mendillo begging me to, and I’m pretty sure it was because he needed a player or two from the team I inherited and he thought he could rip me off

What other leagues: A league that is now defunct, the RBA. Group of us in high school started this league offline and then took it to the internet when things got faster than dial up.

What you like/dislike about the league: Like, the depth of knowledge in this league. Dislike, the depth of knowledge in this league

Other pro sports you enjoy: As stated previously but about a different question, I find it hard to really love professional sports lately. I’d say college football, but that’s not professional. I find that when I scroll through TV channels and there is a tennis match on I’ll stop and watch. So, tennis?

Favorite Movie: Interstellar, Apollo 13, anything semi-historically accurate about space, WWII, and history in general
