Another Baseball obsessive from England

[Geoff Simkins]

I've been a fan since the '60's when I was but a lad, and a SABR member since 1990. I've followed the Cubs through thin and thinner " Lo, these many years " as Steve Stone might say but just in case anyone thinks that 1908 is a long time ago , my local cricket team ( Sussex ) won the County Championship last season for the first time in over 150 years!!!

Isn't sussex Tony Greigs old team ? well done on breaking a 150 year drought - Welcome aboard - there is a cricket thread in one of the forum (If You Must) and i'm sure you could offer us some words of wisdom...
