One year ago tomorrow, the Maelstrom idea was unveiled to the outside world.

Here was the post that started it all:

Thanks to everyone who has helped us make it this far.

Hey, it hooked me

It's the only real player league I felt compelled to join.

Congrats on 1 year!

Wow congrats! Runs a sucsessful league and is a Cy Young at the same time. Way to go

Cooleyvol · 02-06-2003, 01:46 PM

Congrats, Shane..................one year is a great accomplishment!

spleen1015 · 02-06-2003, 02:01 PM

Congrats Shane and Shannon. It's not surprising to see the Mealstrom still around today. Top notch league in my book. One of the best around.

crackpott · 02-06-2003, 03:51 PM

I'm still outraged about the Joe Carter debacle.

YourTypicalJoe · 02-07-2003, 02:43 AM

Shane,

I'm glad to see the Maelstrom is still going strong and quite successful, I might add. Here's to another good year!

I'm with LL. Maelstrom is the only modern MLB league I had any desire to join, and it's been a blast. My favorite part is working the magic that is my 95 million dollar, .500 team. Then again, trading Hampton to crackpott was nice too.

Congrats Shane, and great work.

EagleEye_0 · 02-07-2003, 07:23 AM

Congrats, Shane and Shannon, Maelstrom was the first ootp league I signed up for and has been a fantastic league ran by two of the best commissioners out there.

sporr · 02-07-2003, 09:01 AM

Thanks all and especially to Joe Winarske for giving us the desire to commish a league in the 1st place.

Great job, guys. Great features, awesome consistency, but I will never forgive you for that crackpott debacle

Everybody knows that Toronto's real legend is: Garth Iorg.

....Hampton was good before he decided to break himself.

All Hail Dave Stieb.

Oh, did I forget to mention that Mikey was complaining about back pains when I traded him? Guess you should have had your doc check him out. Oh well, you live you learn, right?

sporr · 02-08-2003, 09:42 PM

Let's not forget the Pedro Martinez debacle....

It's Toronto's style to just assume people are healthy when they make the trade... then just bitch about it afterwards.

Yeah I am very happy to be a part of the Maelstrom my self, granted I should have been Philadelphia but that is spleen's fault and just wanted to say thanks again to Woody for Dicky Gonzalez the best pitcher in the Maelstrom that isn't a "legend" but is quickly becoming one :P

spleen1015 · 02-08-2003, 10:38 PM

It's not my fault you have a slow trigger finger. Talk to TC now.

woody5254 · 02-08-2003, 11:25 PM

Yeah, laugh it up Erich. You know I did get Matt Morris and Prokopec out of the deal. Oh wait....they stink
