About Me

The following testimonies are from NB Franchise owners. Followed by their name is where they are located and their NB Forum nickname.Dru Himes, Galion, OH (Dru Himes)- I have gained many friends within the "game" of Nostalgia Baseball as well as a lot of baseball knowledge. My testimony is this: "The way I figure it, I could have continued spending my money on the newest and latest and greatest games out there, only to put them on the shelf after about 4-6 months worth of playing...OR...I could just play NB for a long time and it would end up cheaper than buying the latest gaming system and the games to go with it...PLUS, I learn more about baseball and the players and make friends..." I have a team in every league and plan to have one in every league for a while...Luke Ottoway, Hollidaysburg, PA (The Nine)-"Nostalgia Baseball is superior to any fantasy league. I have been at it for a year and I am hooked! It's very intricate, and there is so much to do that the owner can spend hours at a time just strategizing about the next set of games and pouring over stats. IT IS A FANTASTIC HOBBY!"Jack O'Ryan, San Francisco, CA (stillcrazy)- "I have learned more about players that I never knew existed. Crazy to think that players that I have never even heard of are now guys I will draft every time if given the opportunity, so I am also learning the history of this great game of baseball. For me though, it is the friends I have made, it comes from trading with other owners as you trade with them you get to chat with them and some have become true trading partners, so you send them an email or they send you an email with a trade, and then you find someone with the common love of baseball, and you can become good friends! That for me is icing on the cake. Well enough talk, I gotta go finish my draft card for the upcoming draft. If you are a Baseball fan and can't get enough of this grand ole game, then you owe it to yourself to try Nostalgia Baseball, as I have a hunch you will be like me, and be hooked too!" - Jack has a team in every league!!!Terry Chaychuck, Toronto, Canada - "Imagine Pete Rose tagging out Ty Cobb, or Barry and Bobby Bonds in the same outfield. With Nostalgia baseball you can field a team with multiple era players simultaneously. Every season a pool of "dead ball era" players are available for call up to enrich the full spectrum of the database. Nostalgia baseball gives you more criteria for Managing than any other game engine available. The detailed statistical reports are unparalleled. Tired of being lost in 8,000th place in those bigger fantasy leagues? Then Nostalgia baseball is the league for you."Jeff Casey, Colorado (Mudville Nine GM) - “Nostalgia Baseball is much more than fantasy baseball. I love that you have so many controls like a true general manager. I sit at my computer every Saturday morning with a cup of coffee and yell at hall of fame players for getting thrown out stealing a base with two outs and Mickey Mantle or Lou Gehrig at the plate."Keith Waddle, Abiline, Texas (Sparky) - "The thrill of the old board game was reawakened and taken into the 21st century by Nostalgia Baseball, with a kazillion more historical variables and an Internet sized neighborhood. NB! lets you be a kid again, and this time Mom can't make you stop playing 'cause it's time for lunch."Brad Hickey, Chico, California - "What is most amazing to me about Nostalgia Baseball is the fact that the creators of the system have been able to combine strategic depth, complexity and Baseball’s amazing sense of nostalgia into one stunning package. Nostalgia has been by far the best hobby I have ever had and can attest to the fact that if you are a Baseball fan of any level, you owe it to yourself to check out Nostalgia Baseball. What do you have to lose? Nostalgia Baseball is by far the best Internet driven strategic baseball game available. Your baseball managing skills are tested as you learn the statistics of great players from time past up to the current era. The best word I could use to describe Nostalgia Baseball is 'addictive'."Jim Heppner, Modesto, California (whatishep) - "The fun of baseball history comes alive as players from every era play their style right in front of you. From drafting, trading and managing your team . . . to friendships, Nostalgia Baseball is where it happens."If you'd like to try the game of NB as we call it CLICK HERE

My Interests

Baseball, from the time where they didn't even wear gloves in the field to now when some players own 4 or 5 gloves in case one breaks!!!

Currently trying to find people who are interested in the game of baseball...The game of Nostalgia Baseball offers you the control from the front office (signing contracts, drafting and trading players) to the field (who plays what position, where do they bat and who is on the mound and when do they come out?)...to the third base coach's box (bunts, steals, hit and runs) and then back to the showers...lol
