I live in Rochester, NY and am an avid fantasy baseball nut. Please read below and contact me for further information on this league. I have plans for building a league beyond this year. If you think you might be able to play beyond this year and make a live draft in central NY, great. If not, don't hesitate to contact me anyways at
mailto:shawnrankins@yahoo.com, as I'm looking for quality owners for this 2003 Yahoo League.
1) Please check out my site for the Empire State
Sports League
http://home.rochester.rr.com/rankins/essl/
Basically the ESSL is not going to get off the ground
in the format that I had hoped for this year. My
intentions are to solicit owners and have them lined
up heading into next year, rather than trying to fill
out the league one to two months before the season
starts. If you are interested I will keep you in mind
as I line up owners for 2004. All of the details/rules
can be found on the site. They may be modified
slightly from their current form. Looking to have a
live draft for the 2004 season in the Central NY area, probably near or just east of Utica.
2) To have some forum to play with the guys I did have
lined up for the ESSL, we have set up a private Yahoo
league slated for a live draft on Saturday 3/15 at
10:30am EST. If you have interest in this please let
me know and I will get details to you. It will be NL
only, 5 x 5 and I am trying to go with 10 owners.
