The 2044 season is a big one for MSL. This will be the league's 40th season spanning more than 7 years. I started the league before the real life 2005 season began and only 3 GM's remain from the original 30 (Shadow, Mission, and myself). If we hadn't banned Sabu it would have been 4. Some good GM's have come and gone but many of the great ones are still present. The league hasn't always had a home either bouncing around from half a dozen different sites, I think I even set up my own proboards site once, before finding a permanent home here at BS.
With the big 40 getting underway I am announcing my retirement as league commissioner at the end of the 2044 season. Taking my place for 2045 and beyond will be the GM of the San Diego Padres, you all know and love him, Hollywood Leo.
I want to thank all of you for sticking with me for all these seasons. Having a great core of active GM's is what kept me running this thing all this time.
With all of that said, here's to a great 2044 season and more to come.
