Minor celebrity roleplayer - Phillies' Catcher

[Glyfair]

Well, he may not be a big name, but it's still interesting. It's also nice that the article doesn't talk down roleplaying. Of course, it being on the official Philadelphia Phillies site may be a reason.

I just read this on the MLB.com website as well. It sure is getting attention! It's one of the lead articles on the front page of the MLB.com website. He even plays a paladin.

And in case anyone's wondering, 14 hours, 49 minutes, 10 seconds to pitchers and catchers reporting for the spring.

I am itching for the baseball season to start. I know there are a lot of disinterested people, but some of us still love the team and individual aspects of baseball. You can have a great season, but your team sucks...

Go Yankees!

Doug Glanville and Curt Schilling both play Everquest. In fact, they have a running feud that ESPN covered last year:

I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few pro athletes were involved in online gaming. Console games are big amongst NBA players, plus when they're on the road and have to deal with curfew there isn't much else to do at night.

It's about on line gaming which I think is looked upon in a higher light than Rping with paper and friends. It is seen as generic video game to the pulic, and even though it is somethng you usually do alone for hours at a time, it is more socially acceptable than spending hours of time socializing with friends while Rping the old fashion way.

True, but he says he's been interested in roleplaying since the '70s. I doubt he was playing Ultima Online back then.

Shameless plugs continue....

The Blue Jays had a really good second half last year, lots of good, young players. I think that this year we'll at least be in contention for the Wild Card. At least we'll field a winning team this year. Should be exciting to watch.
