Managers,
The time has come upon us to transition the league to our new leader. You all spoke, and after much vetting, I had to go with the only person that elected them self to take us on our next journey. Yes, that’s right, Misha (Mookie and the Betts) will be our unparalleled leader, officially taking the reigns after our 2019 season. Little back story into why I believe Misha will be an excellent commissioner for Baldedlli’s.
Let me take you back to the year 2002 where Misha and I first met. It was through a mutual friend, who had aspirations to be a pharmacist, but couldn’t get out of his boring, most mundane life to achieve such high levels of success, as a pharmacist. We’ll call him the pharmacist. Through the pharmacist, we became roommates our second year of college. Within the first two weeks of us all living together, it became clear that the aspiring pharmacist was a douche, and that our common interests in foosball, baseball and double dare sealed our alliance.
So why a good commish? Because Misha can carry through with a thought plan.
We wanted to prank our roommate and/or his loud sex’d girlfriend who looked like a No. 2 pencil. Such a stupid, yet so silly and giddy series of pranks led to the pharmacist knowing where the line was drawn. Pharmo-bro wakes up to go to class, opens the door to step in ranch dressing, then proceeds to go to the shower where kool-aid powder was placed in the nozzle to spray red sugar water on him, to brushing his teeth with a salt drenched toothbrush, then to looking for his left shoe that was taped to the ceiling. Fuck you Pharmie! This couldn’t have been done, without the help of Misha. I couldn’t reach the ceiling.
In all seriousness, Misha is one that I had thought would be a great commissioner. I’m glad he raised his hand. We’ve had multiple conversations about the purpose of being commissioner and leading the best fantasy league in the world. I am excited to see where Misha takes us. It will be glorious. For the 2019 season, Misha will be co-commisioning Baldelli’s Modern Life with me. At the end of 2019, Misha will be at the helm. I will act as an as needed consultant, for whenever Misha wants to bend an ear. That said, all decisions and vision will be Misha’s.
It was a great journey getting us here. This is the best fantasy league for me (not to pat myself on the back), but I just really enjoy this league. It’s crazy competitive and fun. That wouldn’t be without everyone who makes up Baldelli’s, so thank you! Fantasy Baseball is awesome!
Welcome Misha! Here’s too a great 2019 and onward!
Commissioner,
Honorable Daniel Lyons
