soapbox

If you think you know baseball, or especially if you DON’T, then read on.

Fantasy sports have exploded from a nerd-haven to a multi-billion dollar industry in the past few years, and so now every schmoe wants to talk your ear off about how great his fantasy team is.

But, anybody can pick good players; the really tough part is picking the worst players – and thus I point you to the 2009 version of Huckabay’s Annual Call to Keep Immobility Next to Godliness: Maximus Aggregatus Stiffisimus Sensire (HACKING MASS).

In addition to the intellectual stimulation of trying to figure out how exactly to put together the worst possible lineup, you have the excitement of winning a mint-condition, signed, framed photo reproduction of Commissioner of Major League Baseball Bud Selig*!!! Oh, and a $399 cash prize.

* The BP disclaimer: Photo and signature may be a “preprinted” reproduction, whatever that means, and in case we have trouble running down the photo we’ll sub in an item of similar value.
