Geddy Lee: rock star and baseball fan

QUOTE

Sporting News: Your fantasy league is pretty hard core. Geddy Lee: We have a fantastic league. I joined this league with a friend of mine about 10 or 15 years ago, when it was part of one of the Bill James' stats leagues that Stats Inc. was running. It was a mixed league -- you drafted from both leagues. We had lots of interesting twists -- defensive statistics counted, and we had difficult positional eligibility. We ended up with a really great and knowledgeable group of players -- at the time we had 10 teams in the league. We decided we wanted to keep tweaking the league, so we branched off. We found our own webmaster and statistician guy, and we designed this league we're currently in. Every year we tweak it a bit more. It's a fantastic indulgence in baseball insanity. We just expanded to 12 teams. We have 40 man rosters -- 25 are active players, 15 of which are hitters, 10 are pitchers. Five of those pitchers have to be starters, and five are relievers. We have very, very tough eligibility rules. Whoever you field has to actually play at least 25 percent of his games at that position to maintain his eligibility at that position, and rather than just outfielder, you have to have rightfielder and centerfielder and so on. It's quite interesting. You have to really put a team together. It's a blast.
