I have been a faithful fictional player up to now and I still play fictional. I just want to re-live that season (except the World Series) where I found my love for stats and the intricacies of the game.
That is all

My second favorite season now. I was 14 at the time and it was the second time seeing the Astros in the play offs. Not so sadly last year replaced that at as my favorite season. I wish I had been in the US to see all the games. My family was living in the middle East and I was would check the box scores in the paper every day. When we saw games they were often a few days old. My memory is not what it used to be but I think that was the year or maybe it was '85 when Rose faced Ryan and struck out three times that night. I was in a hospital in Dhahran after a concussion from a bicycle accident, going to fast tried to turn and hit a pole, and didn't remember reading about the outcome of the game a few days earlier when they were showing it on TV. Kind of glad I didn't it was an exciting game. Not sure we will ever see a 4000 K pitcher vs. a 4000 hit batter again.
