NY Pride owner of the long time World League Baseball seems to have went AWOL so you could have the rare opportunity of joining a league into its 18th season

Actually, Gary, I think we're headed into season No. 19 (time flies, eh?).

I don't think I have to talk up this league too much. It's been going more than 3½ real-time years and weathered its share of storms.

It's a league with a history. And it's got tough, tough GMs who will test you mettle.

My favorite feature is that you get to name your own players when you draft them --I've had a lot of fun with Brazilian names, in particular -- and make your own faces, if you want.

Act quickly and have some fun in the World.

Didn't Wox got injured in his first IP in the majors, out for the season?

Good memory, Matt.

Rome fired me after 11 glorious (

) seasons. Then, after a season or two wandering in the wilderness, I hooked up with Sao Paulo.

My first full season in Brazil, I went all-out to upgrade a very sorry (5-plus ERA) pitching staff. A key part of that plan was drafting Wox, a real fireballer who was major-league ready, with the No. 3 pick.

Wox never threw a pitch in the minor leagues, going straight into my rotation. Unfortunately, he faced (and retired) just one batter before succumbing to an SEI, taking my 2015 season with him.

He's come back in fine form, though: a nice 45-31, 3.71, career so far, and just extended for $7 mil a year. I think the best is yet to come.

He's named, by the way, after George Washington. Brazilian names are fun.
