Newsvine Fantasy Baseball League

Thu May 25, 2006 9:16 PM EDT

With the recent roll out of Newsvine's World Cup 2006 Pick 'Em Game, I regretted that the baseball season occurred a bit to early in Newsvine's life for Newsvine to have fully implemented a fantasy baseball game. But then I got around to thinking....

Cool dude! On the wrong side of the ideological divide but he does justice.

— Oluseye Bassir

I have enormous respect for Adam's fair-minded, intelligent arguments - although we are on the opposite sides of the political fence. Thanks Adam!

— Djehuty

One of the more well thought out commenters on the Vine!

— daweb

A most worthy commissioner for fantasy sports, full of boundless insight and humor on all things round or pigskinned. Adam, please keep a spot for me in your NFL fantasy league and until then I look forward to getting the inside "sleeper" scoop from your articles!

— TopJedi

Adam picks up the torch for Newsvine Sports in the baseball and football categories and also wrote one of the better NFL Mock Drafts I've ever seen. That's what we call holding it down.

— Jordan Rivas

Wherever technical problems exist (usually in my posts) Adam swoops down and saves the day with friendly advice. Thanks! He knows his sports, too. You'll be seeing a lot more of me during football season. Long Live The Son of Hob!
