Baseball. Baseball. Just in case you didn’t get the notice that today is baseball day. In 2017, it was fantasy baseball draft day. In 2019, it’s Opening Day. It means it’s time to start staring at the waiver wire looking for hot sauce free agents and staring at my team roster willing them to get me points. All for the hope that in 6 months, the cookie crumbled in the right way to lead me to a championship season.

My first baseball draft was in 2008. I can’t believe this is my 12th year in fantasy baseball. Since my first draft, I’ve lived in 3 cities, 13 apartments, held 6 jobs, went to Korea 7 times, visited 13 other countries, and won 0 baseball championships.

When I think back like this, my life has been great. I’ve had so many great opportunities and experiences. I am trying to be grateful for it all, even the 0 championships. Cause behind that number, I’ve at least made the playoffs 50% of the time and got second place in 2018. It’s not perfect, nor will it ever be, but I’m fine with those outcomes. Fantasy baseball has been a great way to keep in touch with friends.

Anyways, lots of thoughts on baseball today. Ironically in 2017, I spent most of the day thinking about the draft while walking around Chiang Mai. I actually think I wrote a post about it… maybe I’ll find it later.

This post has been everywhere. It’s taken me over an hour to write this tiny post! Couldn’t concentrate with trying to do so much. I’m trying to be more present and focused on one task at a time. Multi tasking is evil. Anyhoooo going to stop writing now.
