NOOOOOO YOU SAY, NO ONE CARES, IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON ANYWAY, GO AWAY BOOOO
BUT THIS FANTASY LEAGUE HAS BASEBALL CARDS FOR PRIZES
WELL THAT'S OK YOU SAY, SHOW US THE CARDS
WELL ALRIGHTY THEN I SAY THINKING MAYBE I SHOULD STOP TALKING TO MYSELF AND START TYPING THE POST
LAST WINTERISH BEN FROM CARDBOARD ICONS WAS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO JOIN A YAHOO BASEBALL FANTASY LEAGUE WITH THE CAVEAT THAT THE BUY-IN IS ONE CARD WORTH ABOUT $10-15. WINNER GETS A BUNCH OF THE CARDS, SECOND PLACE GETS SOME OF WHAT'S LEFT, THIRD PLACE GETS WHATEVER'S LEFT. I WAS ENJOYING PLAYING FANTASY BASKETBALL AT THE TIME SO I JOINED. THIS IS WHEN I LEARNED I HAVE A WHOLE CRAPLOAD OF CARDS WORTH $5 AND A SMALL AMOUNT WORTH $30 AND OVER BUT HARDLY ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. AFTER A WHILE IT WAS SETTLED I WOULD SEND THIS AS MY ANTE:
MARIANO RIVERA IN METS COLORS. HOW DO I END UP WITH SUCH WEIRD CARDS. UNANIMOUS HALL OF FAMER THO - GOTTA BE WORTH SOMETHING TO SOMEONE
LONG STORY SHORT, I HORRIBLY BUGGERED UP MY DRAFT WHEN I PANICKED AFTER MISSING OUT ON OZZIE ALBIES, RECOVERED NICELY THRU WAIVER WIRE PICKUPS, MADE A TRADE THAT WORKED OUT SHORT TERM BUT WAS USELESS BY SEPTEMBER, BLANKED OUT ON THE WAIVER WIRE WHEN I NEEDED IT MOST BUT STILL PRODUCED ENOUGH TO WIN MOST OF MY PLAYOFF ROUNDS. TODAY I GOT A PACKAGE FROM BEN WITH THIS NOTE:
THIRD PLACE FINISH! I GOT CARDS! I FELT EXACTLY LIKE THIS:
I FEEL PRETTY. LET'S SEE WHAT SWAG I GOT FOR MY BRONZE MEDAL VICTORY
THE PRODIGAL SON RETURNS! AMAZINGLY NO ONE TOOK MO WHICH IS NOT SURPRISING SINCE HALF THE PRIZES WERE CARDS OF MIKE TROUT. IT MIKE TROUT A UNANIMOUS HALL OF FAMER? I THINK NOT. MO'S GOT RINGZZZZZZZ BAYBEE. SO TRADE FOR THIS CARD BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T CARE. METS COLORS, BLECH
HONESTLY I EXPECTED THIS, WHO WANTS A RELIC CARD WHEN THERE'S VARIATIONS AND AUTOS TO BE HAD. THERE WAS ONE OTHER CARD IN THE PACKAGE THOUGH AND I HAD ONE IN MIND THAT I WAS HOPING FOR
AND I GOT IT
WHAT IS LESS COVETED THAN RELIC CARDS NOWADAYS? JUNK WAX GRADED CARDS! I SAW THIS CARD ON THE LIST OF POSSIBLE PRIZES AND KNEW I HAD A SHOT AT IT IF I WON ANY PRIZE AT ALL. I MEAN, WHAT FOOL GETS AN 89 FLEER CARD GRADED? EVEN THE FUCK FACE?? THIS IS LIKE A 50 CENT CARD TOPS IN RAW CONDITION. MAYBE. WHO WOULD EVEN WANT THIS?
ME!!!!
i WANT THIS!!!!
GARY FUCKING SHEFFIELD GEM MINT ROOKIE!!!!! FUUUUUCK YEAAAAAAAH!
I STILL GOT A #11 SHIRSEY I WEAR SOMETIMES GARY SHEFFIELD KICKS ASS AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THIS IS A MAJOR AWARD
A MAJOR AWARD! THANKS BEN FOR THE FANTASY LEAGUE!

Well done!
Somehow I feel you would have appreciated the leg lamp more.
Congratulations on the 3rd place finish. Played fantasy baseball once... and will never do it again. It was way too time consuming... and I came in dead last. If I did play fantasy sports again, I'd go back to football. So much easier.
Ugh, everybody and their love of Mike Trout! Part of me wishes I could understand it, but the other part just doesn't care, so I guess that means I'm conflicted. Oh well, it's still better than being afflicted :)
