01/06/09 Owner Interview with buddy996 of the Oakland Thunder

1.Who is buddy996? buddy996 is my dog, born on Sep 9, 2006.
2.How did you get started in HBD? A friend asked me to check out his SIMS teams and to help him with his HBD team and I got hooked on HBD, never got interested in the other baseball games.
3.Who are your favorite real-life sports teams? The U of M, U of M, U of M and oh yeah, the University of Michigan.
4.What is up with your team name? I started a 10 man (later expanding to 12) Strat-O-Matic face to face baseball league in 1981 and just always liked the team name Thunder. My league is still playing but I had to drop out 3 years ago because I moved an hour away and it got too expensive traveling back and forth.
5.Who are your rivals I don't really have any rivals but if I did it would be ggd1022, he is the best manager in the AL (since I have been here) and I appreciate the pointers he has helped me with since I joined.
6.Who is your favorite player? And who is your favorite player on another team? Players come and go, but my real life all time favorite player was Ozzie Smith.
7.What do you like best about HBD? And what would you change? I like that it plays 3 times every day. If I could change anything, it would be that I "WOULD NOT" let teams reclaim FA players before everyone else has a jab at them. Letting everyone make a claim on your extra players would help to balance out the league quicker.
8.If they made a Show II player of you, what would your ratings look like? I played all 3 OF's during my playing days, I had a great glove, range and speed but a terrible throwing arm (strength wise) even though it was accurate.
