Nationals<\/a> due to my proximity to the big league club and my husband is a huge fan! I’ve been a fantasy league General Manager for about 4 years and year to year leagues for about 6 years.\u00a0 I also have a serious baseball obsession.\u00a0 I’m always reading baseball websites and blogs and listening to baseball podcasts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
