March 6th, 2008 · 9 Comments
Nature or nuture? This age old question has never been more relevant than it is in La Ruina 2008. It goes to figure that the team with the best keepers should have a nice head start towards making their dream of winning the greatest fantasy baseball league of all-time come true. That […]
