September 2, 2012


Welcome to Hopped on Baseball, Mr. Brain's take on the ABL, a fictional online fantasy baseball league, from the unique perspective of the San Diego Hops entry in the TL (Tony LaRussa) Division.


I took over this franchise after one year of existence where they played less than .500 ball, and were struggling in the off-season. We have just completed the draft and are anxiously awaiting the results of the offer sheets presented to the stable of players invited to be part of the Hop regime.


The franchise, in its mythical construct, is owned by a consortium of San Diego North County brewers, with a minority interest from my home brewery in San Francisco. Thus, Port, Stone, Green Flash and Speakeasy breweries are the joint owners, and our unofficial press headquarters is the fabled Toronado bar in San Diego and San Francisco.


My goal is to use this unique opportunity to talk baseball, art, poetry, jazz and (beer).
