Toughest Division in Habla: NL Central

Player you are dying to see/or make a comeback in Habla: I don't think it's
possible with the .ini the way it is, and he is currently in the league,

GM Profile: Oakland A's

Jon
Location: Litchfield Connecticut
Age: 22
Habla Team: Oakland A's

Sim Baseball Exp/1st league: I started about 3 years ago in MDBA, it
shut down and Casey brought me into HABLA.

Number of Habla Titles: None sofar, but I did take the A's to thier
first World Series apearence in Habla history.

Favorite Actual Major League Team: New York Yankees!

Greatest Sports Memory: Tough one. I would have to say back when I
was a youngster in little league baseball. No one was on base, was the
bottom of the 6th ( all we played to then ), and the score was tied. I
was at bat, hit a long line drive down the LF line. The fielder
reached over the fence and grabbed it. Its bitter sweet, as we lost
that game but I got a nice story to tell.

Hobbies: Too many, Darts, Pool, Softball, Bowling, ATVs, Vgames,
writing, paintball, lots more.

Favorite Book: Hatchet Series by Gary Paulsen

Favorite Beverage: H2O

Anything Else You Would Like Us To Know: I own and drive an 84 El
Camino SS, which is older then me!

Toughest Division in Habla: AL Central, the Royals fought thier way
back to the top.

Most Overrated Habla Team: I hate to say it because he is a friend of
mine but the Florida Marlins, even tho in 1st place in the NL East, I
think come post season time they will get handled quickley. Prove me
wrong Tony! : )

Most Underrated Habla Team: I was going to say the Giants but after
thier recent decision I would have to go with Atlanta

Easiest Owner to Work a Trade With: Well I trade alot as most of you
know, its hard to choose just one GM but in the end me and Terry ( DET
) always seem to be on the same page.
If you weren't managing your current team, what's a team you would
like to manage: Well since I dont like to be a flash inthe pan team, I
would def pick Atlanta, once primed we are all in trouble.

What you like most about Habla: As most say the people. When i first
came to Habla i wasn't ganged up on and had my team robbed liek you
would in most leagues, instead most everyone helped me build the A's
into what they are today and i thank them for thier help.

Player you are dying to see/or make a comeback in Habla: Well my fav
player is already in Habla and is dominate AKA Roger Clemens, but i
would like to see Yogi Berra
What team would you like to meet up with in the World Series? Been
talking about it for a few seasons, none other then the St. Louis
Cardinals.

Favorite player on your roster? Hard to pick just one, but from day
one Oliver Perez has been my ace and look like he may win the Cy Young
this year.........again
