If there are two things that really get me fired up, and there are at least that many, it's wine and baseball. I've been thinking to myself, "Self, there's got to be a way to combine these two amazingly awesome things." Well, I've come up with a way. The answer is a fantasy baseball league for us winos. I need 11 other imbibers to join with me in starting up the Major Wino Baseball League.
There will be some clandestine communication to determine the stakes, rules, etc. after the participants are decided. The only rules are that you have to be a wine and baseball lover…, oh yeah, and you have to be over 21. If you are interested in joining in the baseball nerd games with me, email me at vinotology at gmail.com.
Update: We have a few people who have already expressed the interest in playing. Here's the list so far -
- Shannon from Michigan by the Bottle
- Steve Paulo from Notes from the Cellar
- Randy Watson, AKA the Wine Whore
- Kevin from Wine Dude Online
- Joshua, AKA Wineaccguy
That makes 6 of us. Who else wants in?


I’d love to Ben, but last time I joined a FBB league I just ran out of time to pursue it. Fantasy Football is much easier. Wish you the best of luck. Sounds like a fun way to combine passions.

I’m In. let me know the details! Go ASTROS!
I am already in several leagues, some of the worth actual money. I can definitely dedicate the time to coming here and whupping on a bunch of you lushes, however.
I’m a big fan of more traditional setups (rotisserie, 4×4 or 5×5, large rosters/small benches) and will argue for that when we decide on rules, but i’ve played ‘em all and won most of ‘em.
Bring it on.
(go A’s!)
Count me in!
I’d love to if there is still room!
There is indeed still room. We’d love to have you. If you will send me your email address, I will be getting in touch to discuss details.
First fantasy experience for me. Not to sound too unimpressed, Steve, but *yawn* I think I’ll go ahead and win this thing.
