We're posting on an internet message board designed for a web comic. Let's not delude ourselves here.

Immortal, what kind of draft?

Not ridiculing the fantasy baseball, just callin' 'em like I sees 'em.

Perhaps in a different world, (in which I would know something about baseball) I too, would be a part of the fantasy.

At least fantasy baseball is based in reality.

In true dork form, I've played SIM baseball, which is an online baseball game where you're at the whim of a random number generator. I might as well had been rolling the twelve sided die.

Hey, baseball fans need D&D too. It's unfair that we D&D geeks should greedily hoard the world's supply for ourselves.

I've never even considered this, even though I used to collect baseball cards and still have we dreams about watching a game in Shea Stadium (for which I am trying to buy tickets like right now.  It's hella slow).

But it could be fun...although I tend to have lots of things that waste my spare time already.

I remember a game where you played football, but with a team made up of ogres and trolls and stuff. I think D&D geeks and Sports Geeks have already intermingled in horrible ways.

The ball looked like a big eyeball, it might have been alive.

Blood Bowl. There was a big tournament at the last sf convention I went to.

I joined, swelling the league to 4 teams.  What's the minimum on the number of teams we need to make this happen?

No, I remember a computer game like this too. Real long time ago, though.

Ah, okay. Well, Blood Bowl's been around for a while (I remember ads for it in the late 80s) and fits the description pretty much exactly, so the confusion is understandable.
