Owner interview with jongdavis
Our subject for this interview is jongdavis the owner of the
Houston Oilers. He has been playing HBD
long enough to have played 240 seasons, 33 of those in Addicted Users, and come
away with 13 championship trophies.
Let’s see what we can learn about this long-time owner:
“jong, what part of the country do you live in?
“I’m in the New England area”
“And what would your favorite team, as if I
didn’t already know, and when did you start following baseball?
“Yes, it’s the Red Sox; I was born in the late
60s and can't remember not following the Sox, but '75 is my first real
memories.”
“Who was your favorite player growing up?”
“Jim Rice or Bernie Carbo”
“Do you have a favorite baseball memory?”
“Saw John Valentin turn an unassisted triple
play live at Fenway”
“How did you find HBD?”
“I started playing SimLeague Baseball after
reading about it in a Bill Simmons column and was recruited to HBD from there”
“How many teams are you comfortable running at
one time?”
“I currently have 6, which is definitely my
limit. Probably prefer 4 or 5 that are hopefully not on same cycle.”
“Do you have a preferred method to build your
teams?”
“Power is the one constant. The rest can vary
based on the skills of my team.”
“What is your favorite HBD team (past or
present)?
“Probably my early teams in Addicted Users with
Tabaka and Thompson leading the way. Won a few titles with that crew including
one as a major underdog and one as the favorite.”
“ What is your favorite aspect of HBD?”
“It’s really hard to consistently win titles. I
felt like in simleague that I had figured out how to win, but this game is
really challenging and there isn't one formula for success.”
“If you could change one thing about HBD what
would it be?”
“The lack of recovery from injuries. I have no
problem with players getting hurt but they should normally get back to where
they were before the injury and shouldn't affect their development so much.”
“Appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions, jong”
