Fantasy baseball

Tonight I have my fantasy baseball draft. I have been playing in a league with other stay-at-home dads for about 5 years now. Some of the team owners have changed over time, but most are the same. I have never won in this league but I enjoy it every year.

Our draft tonight will take place online, and we have guys participating from coast to coast. I already have 8 players, 7 that I kept from last season and one I picked up in our pre-draft since I didn't keep our max of eight players. I have Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau of my hometown Twins and six others. I hope to do much better this year as I finished second to last last season.

Fantasy sports are a fun diversion. I participate in a football league during the NFL season, and am currently involved in fantasy golf (PGA), racing (NASCAR), and the NCAA basketball tournament.
