Actually this greeting post is from Northern California, but as the GM of the Paris Lightning I thought I would stay in character.
I guess I qualify as an OOTP veteran, but being a veteran doesn't mean I play the game well. OOTP can be a cruel game, but that is part of the challenge and fun.
Been playing OOTP since version 5 and my first online league was with OOTP 6.5.
Being raised in the SF Bay Area, I am a life long Giants and A's fan.
Happy to be a charter member of the WBA and hoping we will have a long and fun time playing what many call "fake baseball."
Good luck to all.
