Congrats on the big win. You so dominated our league that I don't think there was a time when we all weren't just playing for 2nd.

Thanks, Jon; that means a lot coming from you. Things certainly would have been different had my ace target of Bauer not gone too high for my tastes or had I gotten stuck price-enforcing Harper. Better to be a bit more lucky than good, as they say

SO proud of you, bro... more great things await for next season too! See? Aren't you glad I talked you into this new fantasy baseball league called NFBC 13 years ago?!

Congrats Mr. Halusker!

Dave, long live The Consortium

Thanks, Wayne! See you in March
