Well, in hindsight, I now realize that Anderson thought I was referring to his supposed steroid use that had been suggested for numerous months in Baltimore newspapers. I did not think of this connotation at the time.

Therefore, when he turned to the camera and yelled, "I don't have to take this [expletive]. [Expletive] you, you little [expletive]. Come back and interview me when you get some talent," I was caught a bit off guard. Mind you, I was 16-years old. For all I know, I may have a current lifetime ban in the Orioles' organization. So much for my dream to become Baltimore's second baseman of the future.

If I hadn't led with my fantasy baseball joke, my reason for living would not have been shattered at an early age. So play wisely, my friends. Victory will grant you a joy matched by no other (I heard you, Shaggy). But defeat can make you feel like a little [expletive]. As Tina from Survivor said, let the games begin.

Oh yeah, and needless to say, for as long as he's still playing baseball, I will never select Brady Anderson in a rotisserie draft. I can only hope you will boycott him too.
