So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

Post by ballmark »

(Obscure Douglas Adams reference, for all you Sci-Fi fans)

Gentlemen (and ladies, if any are present) --

Thank you for the months of pleasure playing in this league has provided me. It has been a genuine honor to be defeated by some of the best managers on the site. If finances allowed, I would continue battling, but alas, retirees live on a fixed income, though I don't remember ever breaking mine.

Good luck to Pete and sympathies to my Tampa Bay codebits, moving to the frosty environs of Toronto from sunny Tampa, though it is a world class city full of charm and elegance, and a solid baseball fan base.

See you around the site, kids. I may pop up here and there as a chaperone.

Odd ... when I click Renewal it says the deadline is February 20. So I assumed this was my final year.

1970-1981(12 seasons) was the first term
1982-1983(12 seasons) is the second term.

The deadline is odd. I'll message admin.

Mark, I hope you are around at least one more year and it would have been great to have you for another term but alas all good things must come to an end. You have been a great competitor in this league and I appreciated the way you managed your team. Best of luck and enjoy retirement to the fullest.

I will leave as my legacy - I am remembering this morning - that I believe I had some small hand in renaming this league in honor of Mr. Scully. Any word from Admin Chris on that renewal date?

I see I'm not locked out yet, though the league info page surely looks like our replacement teams are ready to go and rarin' at the bit, as they used to say. (Obscure horse racing term, y'all.)

I sent a message to Chris, but no response yet. Regardless, each subscription period is 12 seasons. So I'm pretty confident this upcoming season is the last season. Let's make it a good one.
