| Not only was
this the first year of the experts league, it was the first year Yahoo
gave us head to head fantasy baseball. So this was new to all of
us. I tried to do an "experts" type of league in 2000, and
had modest success, but I felt these leagues could me a lot better if I
could just find the right group of people. So in 2001 I went out and
sought the 20 most knowledgeable and active fantasy baseball people I
could find. This is no easy task. Most of the members of Year
1 were made up of people I found in Yahoo Experts (now defunct, and
presently called Yahoo Advice).
Since most of these people were from Yahoo Experts, that's how the name
Experts League came about.
There were many memorable moments during the year. Those who did not attend the draft were surprised to see how their rosters turned out. Small Market Pride ended up drafting all catchers in the first few rounds, causing him to temporarily change his name to Big Market Catchers. Considering he missed the playoffs by just 1 game, he did quite well. Other people had bad drafts, creating team names such as Seoul's Bad Draft Day and Jack's Pile of Feces. sooners was inactive for the first 5 months of the season, only to come back in August announcing his apartment was robbed (including his computer) and went from 20th place at the time, to finish 13th in the final standings. To date, Stud Mo is the only female member to participate in the experts league. If anyone else remembers or would like to contribute to this year 1 history section, pleeeeeeze email me at homeruncards_com@yahoo.com. Most of the info here is just stuff I remember off of the top of my head, and I'm sure you guys remember stuff that I don't.
