So, last year Shaun rallied various members of his family, including myself to take part in a fantasy baseball league. There were 8 teams and I was Shaun's little protege. In the beginning he taught me how to drop and add players, taught me about the difference between OBP and SLG, ERA and WHIP. He even dropped a few hints about who would and would not be a solid player to add in my line up. But then he let me test out my skills. I started checking my fantasy team stats way more than I would like to admit and was referring to all my players on last name basis during dinner conversations. It was a little weird. My efforts, however dramatic they may have been, paid off as I am proud to announce that I took first place in our Fantasy League during the regular season.
The team entitleI would probably still be in fourth place, but luckily both Shaun and Dan (his brother) started medical school during the last week of the season. I have to put this post in ASAP because the playoffs have just begun, so I likely have only one more week to brag about being in first place.

Way to go Dianna!!
Dianna, I am seriously SO impressed! I attempted the Fantasy League for a day (ok, maybe not even that long) and it was way over my head. Poor Dan, I know he secretly wishes I knew more about baseball. I love going to games though, I hope that counts for something! Good luck in the playoffs!
Ok I had no idea we were in last place. I am not letting Ryan play Fantasy Baseball next year I am!!! you did great!!! I love checking in to see what you guys are up to.
I think it is so great that you are doing a fantasy baseball league! My husband tried to get me to do fantasy football (which I have a complete lack of knowledge) so I told him no. It's so awesome that you are in first and good luck throughout the rest of the season!!
