Hello, my name is Lee. The "St" in my FOFC nickname is due to my lifelong obsession of Saints football. But my real name is Lee.
My sporting past includes the big three of American sports: football, baseball, and basketball. Baseball was by far my best sport, though my love for it waned in my teenage years (early 1990s-mid 1990s) and didn't flare up again until I started playing adult softball again in the mid-2000s.
This is my third year in the league. In my first year, I was drafted pretty low in a six-team league. That was because of bad intelligence. The league is relatively competitive and I didn't "look" the part. I am 5'9" and 205 pounds, so I don't look like a ball player. The team captain of the team took my low draft position to sit me out every other inning. The rule is that every player bats in the line up and there are no limits to substitutions, except that every player has to play defensively at least every other inning. I was that guy not allowed to play defense.
That was until we had a Saturday pick up game in another town. On that day I got to play. I manned myself at 3B, and made a few plays. My team captain was there that day, and expressed amazement. I haven't sat defensively again.
My team, called Big Daddy's Brigade, finished last place of six teams in 2009. All six teams played in the final tournament. We won our first game and lost the second to finish our season.
