THANK YOU!

Almost 10 months ago to the day, the PreMature League started drafting for the 2020 baseball season. Little did we know that we were drafting a team that would not begin play for almost a year.
(A brag for our PreMature Drafters- Without ADP or 'experts' help, our top 13 players and 15 of the top 17 in our first round matches the Main Event ADP)
Then March came.
The virus did its best impression of Lucy to the NFBC's Charlie Brown. It took away the ball just as we were about to have live drafts.
It was devastating.
For months afterwards, we cussed the virus.
We cussed baseball.
We cussed our sports-less world.
We cussed our circumstances.
Now, finally, the baseball season will start tomorrow.
Finally.
Even if it is only 60 fan-less games.
It is still a bone for us to chew on.
It feeds our appetite for sports and in particular for us, the enjoyment of having fantasy baseball.
Whatever we as players went through in waiting for this moment has to be magnified 10 times for Greg and the NFBC.
On the precipice of a record setting season, their signups were taken away.
One day in March they had it all, the next day, they had nothing.
Then for months, they were left twisting in the wind as baseball wasted precious time.
So much time that we are left with just those 60 games.
Through it all, the NFBC never wavered.
Through countless questions and concerns about what was to be determined, the NFBC made wise decisions about what to do with past-drafted leagues and the future course of drafts.
During this time, Greg himself hit the IL himself, but didn't let most of his clientele know.
Greg has built something more than impersonal leagues like ESPN and Yahoo can never match. Most of us know each other on a personal basis. Either through live drafts or a constant online basis.
The NFBC, quite simply, is like no other fantasy site in the world.
Greg,,,Tom...Darik...
I know you'll turn this around on us and say, "No, thank you!", but our heartiest 'THANK YOU!' goes out to you.
You fellas have answered the same question thousands of times.
You fellas have fixed our problems.
You fellas have looked over each and every draft making sure everybody was happy.
You fellas have perpetuated an addiction. And we love it.
So on the eve of baseball season, we thank you deeply for everything you have done to give us lemonade in a year that has been mostly lemons.
THANK YOU!
