The NASBL celebrated it's 25 Birthday this season. HBTY HBTY HB 'NASBL' HBTY! Red Robbins would like to say 'THANK YOU' again to everyone on honoring him with the Lifetime Achievement Award that Commissioner Steve Beard sent him before the season. I can honestly say it was a very pleasant surprise. Yes Red was a member in the NASBL from the beginning. For you youngsters the NASBL is about 3 years younger than MTV, and are in much better shape! Like anything the NASBL has had it's ups/downs. I am pleased we are on a up swing with the current set of managers and the leadership of Steve Beard as the Commish! A league needs all of it's managers on the same page (or very close to the same page; some managers are a few pages ahead and some a couple of pages behind :) ) and a commissioner that knows when to crack the whip, when to loosen the reins, when to be a 'baby sister' and when to step in for his judgement/ruling on a matter which has to be for the betterment of the league, not just a team or two. The NASBL web site is one of the BEST around and when it comes to Drafting the 'Automated Start Draft' makes it simple.
In upcoming My 2 cents we will go around the league going over last season, plus a little History back in the Stone Age when the NASBL started!

I cannot wait to read more about the history of the leagu. Thanks Red!
We all owe a debt to you Red, the Father of NASBL. You started it all back when we rolled dice and kept score by hand. Back when we all had to be home on a Friday night and Saturday morning for the telephone draft. Back when the web was the domain of spiders and the only mail was snail. It's been an honor and privilege to have been associated with NASBL since 1991. Lets hear it for the next 25 years!
