im has been the commissioner of the WWBA since 2006, member since 2003, league champion in 2016. He grew up playing table and computer baseball games. Organized and ran many local leagues as a kid and teen. Participated in and ran fantasy leagues that were comparable to what we do 16-20 teams with deep benches more than the standard 5x5 categories.

Jim grew up a big Ozzie Smith fan without cable most of his career so I listened to a lot of Jack Buck on the radio. I was not a Tony La Russa fan though so since 96 and Ozzie's retirement I have been a baseball fan without a favorite team. I root for different teams and players from year to year.

Jim’s job used to take him all over the country and still travels more than most. Jim has personally met 18 of the 27 other members of the WWBA and a few more that aren't in the league any more.
