    Yeah, sorry but I'm going to pass on the Vintage draft this time - the group is so good that it takes me too much work to be competitive. The NBA Draft isn't a mock draft, but a long-running keeper league, so I'm staying in that one. Thanks for asking.

        Esp in decades - I predict a low finish.

                I'd shrug and continue celebrating another year where I beat you and Wayne in PONY

                    • I probably won't pick until tonight. I am pretty unprepared. Is there a new spreadsheet or should I use the last one?
                      In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

                        I'll link the VD2 History Thread ... that was the same format as this (except with KO's). I'm preparing the new SS now.

                          • Why we wait for Garp a few notes about my pick: Stan The Man.
                            ***First player to play over 1000 games at 2 positions.
                            *** had 1815 hits at home and 1815 hits on the road.
                            *** at the time of his retirement he held 17 Major league records , 29 NL records and 9 All star records
                            ****since he hung them up only tony Gwynn has had a higher career batting Avg and only Hank Aaron has passed him as the "total base leader" - 6134 total bases.
                            *** first player ( there are only 2) to hit 5 HR in one day. 3 in one game - then 2 in the 2nd game.
                            *** got Gussie Busche to buy the team in 1953

                            The year I picked 1948 he:::
                            Was 1 rainout HR from winning the triple crown- he led the league that year in - runs, rbis,Avg,hits,doubles,triples,slugging %,- he won the batting title by 43 pt margin. Almost the perfect year

                            • I guess he was ok.
