ISR Staff Alumni Fantasy Baseball League

It's almost baseball season. I bet that's pretty exciting if you like watching baseball. For people like me, it's really just an opportunity to beat other people at fantasy baseball. My baseball knowledge may have stopped in the days of Don Mattingly and Mike Greenwell, but I will beat you. That is to say: it's on.

ISR Staff friends, there are eleven remaining open spots in the ISR Staff Baseball League. Opening Day is 4 April. Do not -- I repeat, do not -- get left behind. The details are posted in the forum: Details for ISR Staff Baseball league. Note: the forum only works if (a) you have an account and (b) you are logged in. (If you have any problems, leave a comment, etc.)

My team name is Arrrrgh McCutcheon, in honor of all of the pirates that fought and died at the Battle of Boo Boo's Landing. May ye rest in peace.

Staff rosters from the 1990s

Today I've been working on the staff rosters from the 1990s. One of my plans for this site is to get all of the staff rosters from 1965 to today neatly arranged, organized, and generally looking good.

Of course, this takes a long time -- with one person at the wheel.

(Did you see how I tried to induce a little guilt trip there? Boom. You're now compelled to help because you know there's more where that came from.)

So, friends, I could use some help -- some more help, to be honest, because I appreciate all of the help from staff colleagues (whom I worked with) and staff strangers (whom I didn't, unfortunately) so far. Thank you, thank you.

What I'm working on, and want to finish by the end of the week is the 1990s. Step one is to make every roster look the same. 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 are done. 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 are not. Please help me make the latter five look like the former five. Don't know how? Go to, say, 1991, click the edit tab at the top of the page (assuming you're logged in), and see how it's done. Simple.

If you find yourself with ample motivation, each of the individual staff members linked on the rosters need to be created or edited. This will take a while, but it's braindead easy work. You're essentially going to make everyone's page look like Steve Rhodes' page.

I've been working on the rosters... forever, really, and it will good to bring it to a close, so we can see what our shared camp history looks like. My goal is to get all of the roster pages and all of the linked staff member pages finished by next Sunday 7 March. Thanks for your help.
