6). Best piece of advice for HBD? Pitching Pitching Pitching
7). The most over-rated and under-rated ratings? Overated has to be eye under-rated I'd go with makeup everyone sees omg this guy is a 90 in 4 areas but has a 20 makeup and will never reach it but in their mind hes a 90.
8). Favorite and least favorite part of the game? Favorite is the draft I'll spend hours making the exact rankings of players I want. Least favorite and its not even close is the coaching hire. Boring as you can get. I wish they would make it more useful I've always wanted a scouting service type hiring. For instance, I could hire a guy who is very good at finding pitching but not at hitters maybe a guy is good at finding talent in south america some in latin america and so on.
9). Who are the owners you respect and/or enjoy the most? in this league? z0601 over at trenton and mexd781 at detroit have had several hours of trade talk in the first 3 days of the league. Hopkins with Charolette is great as welll haven't come across anyone I don't get along with. In other leagues I have people I honestly can't stand.

1). Who is Mr. Stickball (AKA: 'Stick')?
2). What are your interests and hobbies?
Music, Geology, hiking, kayaking, and, er ... baseball!
3). What are your favorite sports teams and which one is #1?
Used to be the Miami Dolphins as I played and really loved football as a kid and into my 20's., However, I finally tired of salary cap/free agency-driven mercenary players and coaches. I call it "The revolving door syndrome". The sport has lost most of it's luster since it now lacks it's former level of consistency and team-building.
About 20 years ago, coincidentally, I started listening to baseball on the radio, and about 5 to 10 years later, MLB surpassed NFL as my favorite. I am a hardcore S.F. Giants fan now, and barely even pay attention to football.
4). Who is your favorite WIS player?
Jose Johnson
In Stickball League, I have a player who hit a ridiculous number of HR's for my Colorado team. He's still on my AAA roster, despite having an overall rating in the low 40's. I can't bear to let him go. I might even call him up when rosters expand. (Sick, isn't it?).
5). If you were a player what sport would you play, at what position, and what rating?
I played quaterback, and, at age 44, still can throw pretty well, although I max out at about 55 to 60 yards these days, and I am pretty sore the next day. I've always been blessed with a strong arm, but I noticed it takes me a lot longer to warm up than it used to! In H.S., I once threw a pass 100 yards (with a strong wind at my back). Not exaggerating. My accuracy was and is still, believe it or not, pretty good, and I have a quick release and can read defenses pretty well. However, despite being able to move around in the pocket pretty well, I am a real lug when it comes to scrambling downfield. Terrible at it really. I'm kind of a Dan Fouts/ Dan Marino type of passer ... good arm, heady kind of QB, with absolutely NO legs! I would love to be able to play football again, it's just way too hard on your knees as you age.
6). Best piece of advice for HBD?
http://hbd-stickball.blogspot.com/p/mrstickballs-advice-for-hbd-newbies.html
(Or, just Google 'Stickball's advice for hbd newbies').
7). The most over-rated and under-rated ratings/
Is it just me, or is Contact way over-rated? I keep signing guys as if Contact matters, but I swear it doesn't seem to really matter much.
On the flip side, I feel like many owners don't give Groundball/Flyball enough credence ... that and Pitch #2 should be above at least 66. I see it all the time that pitchers with otherwise good ratings get used all the time and never have good ERA's. A flyball pitcher with no movement on his pitches is a bad thing.
8). Favorite and least favorite part of the game?
Beginning of the season is so action-packed ... it's almost TOO much. Playoffs are a real drag if you aren't in them ... especially knowing that there is also a rollover period to wait out.
9). Who are the owners you respect and/or enjoy the most?
I have made a ton of HBD friends over the years. Tough to nail down just a few. In this league, I am particularly fond of McBain. A true gentleman and a helluva competitor.
10). The thing that may surprise us about you?
I just re-read the above, and I hope I'm not as egotistical as I seem in these answers. ;0)))
Good luck to everybody, I hope we all stick with our franchises for many seasons, it would be great to be in another league with consistency. I have an ongoing waiting list for MY league, Stickball League, if you are interested in another league with dedicated owners. We do, occasionally, have openings, despite having a core group that is awesome. I'd be happy to keep you in mind on a first come, first serve basis. Just Sitemail me if interested in getting on the list.
Play ball!!!
