Owner Interview - FS40

 

Owner Interview with FS40

 

The next interview is with FS40.  He is relatively new to HBD but has now reached 17 seasons under his belt with four of those seasons at the helm of the San Francisco Titans in Addicted Users.  Let’s see what information about himself he is willing to share:

 

“What part of the country do you live in?”

“I’m currently in the San Diego area.”

“What is your favorite team and when did you start following baseball?”

“I’ve been a New York Mets fan since I was a kid.  My earliest memories are probably 1983 or 1984.”

“Who was your favorite player growing up?”

“Darryl Strawberry”

“What is your favorite baseball memory?”

“1986 World Series Game 6, the ball goes between Bill Buckner’s legs.”

“How did you find HBD?”

“I was actually trying to find an old simulation game called Micro League.  I couldn’t find a good version and stumbled on Whatifsports.”

“How many teams are you comfortable running at one time?”

“I’ve only run 3 at a time. I’m fairly new, but I don’t like the idea of having 10 teams or what have you.  It was the same thing in Fantasy Sports.  I would make one team and that was it.  I have 3 so at least one is going at a time.”

“How do you like to build your teams?”
“Still pretty new, but I have tried to build the teams based on their stadiums.  Overall, I believe in strong pitching and defense.  How we score runs doesn’t matter as much to me.  But in a pitcher’s ballpark, I try to accentuate that and focus more on speed.  Hitters’ ballparks more on power.”

“What is your favorite HBD team?”

“One of my teams, Durham Tropics, made it to the AL Championship Series as a wild card.  That was a fun team.”

“What is your favorite aspect of HBD?”

“The GM function is probably my favorite. Trades, free agency, drafts etc.”

“What would be the one thing you’d change about the HBD?”

“I would say having the DH in the NL too like MLB.”

“That’s all the questions I have, FS.  Thank you for taking the time.”
