BLUE DEVILS

ABOUT PAUL:

Earliest baseball memory: Getting to walk the warning track at the old Cleveland Indians stadium at 9 years old with my little league team.

Cherished Photo Op: Getting pictures of my son with all the MLB mascots at the all star game in Cleveland in 1997 when he was 8.

Brushes with Fame: Peeing at a urinal at Jacob’s Field next to NBA star Danny Ferry, sitting next to Jim Thorne courtside at a Cavs game, meeting Cal Ripken Jr when I was an MP in the Army at Aberdeen , MD. We arrested a guy who was using military video equipment for his personal business. He was the videographer for Cal’s wedding. We turned the tape over to Cal.

Shirt Size: Medium

Biggest Trade Regret: I regret none! If they were bad, I just wipe them from my memory.

Streaming TV networks: Damn near all of them. My wife and I are tv/movie junkies.

Brand Loyalty: I’m loyal to JIF peanut butter. I refuse all others!

Favorite vacation: we’ve been on several cruises and I loved them all.

Best uniform in all of sports: I loved the old “fruit striped” Astros unis.

Why I love PGB: I love that it comes as close as any of us are ever going to get to becoming a GM. I love when we do what we can to create rules that put us into as realistic a situation as possible. It’s what separates us from other types of fantasy leagues. It’s those differences that make me consider dropping out of other leagues with friends because I am constantly disappointed in how the leagues are run. It’s also the only league I’m in that doesn’t involve money and yet, I work harder in PGB than anywhere else (please don’t tell my boss). I care that much about trying to improve my team and the league. For Love of the Game!
