GM Bio’s

Please email thomvan@yahoo.com if you wish to update your bio. I am especially interested in where you are from, what roto or fantasy sports you have participated in, and anything else that may be of any interest.

 

Angels

Tery – I’m 54 years old, reside in Columbia, MO and I’m a big Tigers fan.  I attended my first game in 1973 at Tigers Stadium.  Living between St Louis and Kansas City, I have the opportunity to see the Tigers play quite a bit.  In 2011, I’ve seen them play Denver, Kansas City and Detroit.  This is my second year of playing keeper fantasy baseball, but my first full year … I took over two teams partially through last year.  I’ve only played ESPN and Yahoo; mostly H2H.  I’m looking forward to this new league, but it looks very complicated … hopefully, I’m overreacting.

 

Athletics

My name is Randy Gould, I am 40 yrs. old, I live in Ambridge, PA, I work in customer service and have been a baseball fan since 1970. I have never been involved with fantasy baseball but I have heard so much about it that now I would like to try and see if I would be as good as I think I can be. I choose your league because it is the one that sounded the best.

 

Braves

Debock – Opeepee, Essex County, Ontario

 

Cardinals

Bruce - I am from Louisiana originally and currently live in Portland. If you don't mind, you could also post a link to a fantasy baseball blog that I have. http://fantasybaseballfever.blogspot.com/

 

Colt 45’s

I am your Commissioner. My name is Greg Sovan and I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, about 5 miles from Comerica Park in Detroit. I go to about 6 games a year.  My first game was in Tiger Stadium in the mid 60’s with my Dad.  I eventually had season tickets for a couple of years, first row reserved upper deck 45’ down the 3rd base line.  Now that was a view, right on top of all the action at the Old Ballpark. The new park is nice, but the $12 seats at Tiger Stadium are now $50 at Comerica. I have been involved in Fantasy Leagues since the early 80’s, and before that I used to play various baseball board games like APBA and Strat-o-Matic.  I have now created a new game called Ballhalla which incorporates many of the great features of all the great baseball board games.  I have rated all the players for all 110 seasons since 1901, uh over 60,000 player cards in 3 different versions of the game, so getting close to 200,000 cards.  All on web, not printed out.  It was a 3 year project in between my regular job as a high school English teacher, married, and a procrastinator (but I kept at it diligently every day almost).

 

Cubs

Brendan?

 

Dodgers

Alex. I'm from Rhode Island and am a huge Red Sox fan. This past year was tough but we will be back is 2012.  I'm 22 years old, work construction and am looking forward to take-home the fantasy championship with the Dodgers this year.

 

Giants

Greg - Miami, FL.

 

Indians

Tim – Hometown: Windsor, Ontario, I simply love the game of baseball and in my younger years played on and coached very competitive teams in the Windsor and Essex County areas.  I have 5 boys, ages ranging from 10 to 20 and who are all talented and active in baseball.  I am a Tigers fan through and through and have never been engrossed in other teams until this year.  This is my maiden voyage into fantasy baseball and find myself wholly engrossed in this league and MLB baseball in general.  I try to get to Tigers games when I can, usually go on a whim.

 

Metropolitans

Collin Kanelakos, 36, I live in Frisco Texas and am a CPA in a Dallas firm.  I am married with two kids.  Favorite teams are Astros, Red Sox then Rangers.  Favorite player growing up was Nolan Ryan as I grew up in Houston. 

 

Orioles

I currently work as a business meteorologist and analyst for a company in Berwyn, PA (near Philly) called Planalytics, Inc.  My job is statistics, which I like to think translates over to fantasy sports games pretty well.  Along with the math background, I'm a huge sports fan (baseball, football, hockey, pretty much everything except basketball).  My favorite baseball team is the Braves even though I grew up in NJ.  My family is from Ohio, and they raised me properly to be a Yankee hater, and the Mets and Phillies fall pretty close to the Yanks.  Aside from that, I joined the league in 2005, and I've enjoyed almost every moment.  I like to also press Greg's buttons and persistently propose new ideas.

Phillies

My name is Gregger Tiessen and am from Kingsville, Ontario.  I am 25 yrs old.  I played many sports growing up but am most proficient in baseball and hockey.

My name is Jerry Dwiggins,I am 45 years old and live in Alton Illinois (20 min from St. Louis). I have been in this league since 2003 and believe that this is the best league going. Also enjoy playing fantasy football, hockey and golf. If any of you ever have any openings in other leagues I would be interested. Email me at dwiggs867@yahoo.com

White Sox

Monte - I'm 57 years old and live in Orange, Texas .... been playing fantasy sports since 1995, mostly at Sandbox ..... have had a few teams at Yahoo and more recently at Fantrax (I’m liking this site more & more) ..... While I enjoy all sports, Baseball is my passion (my favorite baseball quote is "Baseball is like Church; Many attend but few understand") ...... I work at a sheltered workshop for the mentally handicapped and I absolutely love my job (it's a new day everyday) ..... www.ocarc.com ..... I spent many of my early years traveling around the country selling tye-dye T-shirts and grilled cheese sandwiches at Grateful Dead concerts (the greatest music ever imagined) .... I have 2 wonderful grandchildren (who are the light of my life) and a 3rd on the way) ..... This seems to be a really great league and I’m glad to be here!

Yankees

My name is Brent Coughlin , I'm a sports-fanatic from the “CAPITAL” of Canada – Ottawa , Ontario . I'm a computer IT Security specialist for the federal government. This is my 8th year here at BB3000. I think Sovan runs a great league, so I'll probably be around for many more. I commission a fantasy hockey & football league. Favourite Sports Franchises (in order): Toronto Maple Leafs, Miami Dolphins, New York Yankees. The Jays are my 2nd favourite ball squad. My goal this season is to finish one spot higher than Greg & win the BCS (Beer Case Series) – he is my nemesis. Good luck to all (except Greg), it should be a fun year...
