I started my very first team four years ago today.. March 27, 2002.

That team was 76964.. sadly I no longer own them.. oh well.. 4 years..

I've never gotten to 10*, I've never been further than PL4, and I've only won 3 tournaments since I've started..

Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! ! except maybe a million dollars Wink

Who knows... maybe in the next 4 years I'll actually get good at this game Cool

I have to give a lot of thanks to Mike when I first started playing SB , I knew nothing about the game and he would always answer my questions.
he got me more involved with the game and he is a true leader , a guy that is very helpful and friendly but also respected and trust worthy , thanks again Mike for all the help you have been .

Thanks for all the kind words guys..

To me, Smallball has always been something I looked foward to during the day.. I may never be very "good" at it, but I don't think I'll ever give it up.. its too addictive Twisted Evil

Once again.. thank you for the kind words everyone Banana

Four years is a long time and shows dedication. That is awesome.

You are a good trainer, your time will come, I assure you of that.

And I thought I was addicted.. Laughing

4 years shows great dedication to a great game. I admire you and the others for putting your time and energy into the game. There is very little in life that I've dedicated 4 years to, Including my X-Wife. Keep on keepin' on!
