Welcome to the Tuesday Rotowire MLB podcast.

I, if you, you can tell him not Jeff Erickson.

Jeff is still in Ireland with the family, having a great time.

We'll be back with us soon enough.

But I'm here with my old fantasy baseball.com partner, Fred Zinky, man.

Was it?

15, 16 years ago that we were, I think we spent at least one year together on the site.

Yeah, one or two.

15 years ago, I think it was.

I think it was 2007.

Yeah.

Where I read the book Fantasyland while on a vacation and decided that I wanted to work in the fantasy baseball industry and sent an email to, I got a junk email, I guess you call a junk email, a mass email from FantasyBaseball.com saying they were looking for newswriters and everything started there with you.

I wouldn't, I think that, I think that's email was probably sent out by before i got brought on okay because i didn't do it

but yeah because yeah they fantasy planet purchased masterball and then we were together for at least

one year um i i left a year early,

kind of left you and you and Perry and a couple other people in charge,

relaunched Masters Ball,

but,

you know,

you said I answered the email.

I didn't bring you in this.

You were finding a way in regardless, right?
