Fantasy Baseball Guy: Don't Be Him!

I have to admit that I am "fantasy baseball guy" to a certain extent. No one likes fantasy baseball guy. This is the guy chugging beer at a Major League game, who after the opposing team hits a home run he still cheers and says "hey, he's on my fantasy team!". No one cares if he is on your fantasy team you drunken fool. This is a worse offense than actually rooting for the other team. This fan is rooting against his own team because his fantasy team just gained one home run and an RBI or two in the stat column.

Fantasy Baseball Guy guy ALWAYS gets works the waiver wire to perfection. He gets google alerts or hawks ESPN just waiting for news to break on a player coming up from the minors or a trade that will make a player more valuable.

Fantasy Baseball Guy is the commissioner of every fantasy league he plays in, or complains about the stats setup or how many days the waiver wire is active for.

Fantasy Baseball Guy is also the guy who proposes trades daily if not hourly. All of these trades include two mediocre players from his team, for one star player on your team. And the excuse is always "these two players put up better stats than your one player".

If not in first place, Fantasy Baseball Guy is just waiting for the playoffs, or the only reason they are not in first place is because of injuries. Fantasy Baseball Guy has plastic trophies and fantasy champion t-shirts as well.

Baseball season is almost here, so watch out for Fantasy Baseball Guy.
