Golden Era NL West is loading! And then the autodraft!

I am going to the Utah game tonight and cell reception is crappy. Hopefully I will be able to pick if it rolls around to me. I have a list of players so I will be able to pick if I can see it my turn.

hopefully we'll get close(r) to your pick before you leave and then maybe you can send proxies for your two picks to geoff.

have fun tonight.

Speed burners and great fielders were often a result of the many artificial surfaces, I think. Many teams played the slap and dash game.

So many cannon arms.

I was about to write specifically about this: Baines a rf-2 (-3)?? Really?

For the group's info I have proxies for Foggy One and davesodu

The story about how Bill Veeck followed Baines' progress as a youth player is great. Look it up. We attended rival high schools and I always felt basketball was his best sport.
