PRAISE THE BDBL!

"I spoke to my dad (Rick Reuschel) this weekend about this web site, and he thought it was pretty cool."

- Beth Reuschel

"Without a doubt, this is the finest league, of ANY sort, out there. Mike, from scratch, created a system (rulebook, contract system etc.) that not only works, but makes the league a fantastic one to compete in."

- Paul Marazita

"As I have said many many many times, this league is by far the best league I have been in and hopefully ever will be in."

- John Gill

"Despite my concerns about the sanity of the Steinbrenner clone that serves as the commissioner of the BDBL, my heart is with the BDBL."

- Jim Doyle

"It was an incredibly lucky day when I first stumbled across the DMB web site and in turn the listing for the BDBL less than a month after its inception."

- D.J. Sheppard

"There is a reason that we find all these other leagues who copy the rulebook, webpage, etc. - it is because this is the best DMB baseball league on the internet...Mike is right, it does take all of us, but without his leadership, vision, and time/energy that he puts into this league, the BDBL would be just like all the rest."

- Gene Patterson

"I, for one, hope to be around as long as Mike keeps updating the site, writing his 'From the Desk of  the Commish' columns and, of course, standing on his soapbox (virtually, of course) here on the message board."

- Tony DeCastro

"...I was very much impressed with (the BDBL's) set of rules. They make sense, retain playability and will most certainly keep things interesting."

- Scott Sostack

"I've been following your web page at the BDBL for well over a year now. I am continually impressed and amazed how much time, effort and commitment you put into your hobby.  It was your piece on the Roy Firestone interview that has precipitated my writing. I don't know if your league members really appreciate your talents ... but they bloody well should !!  ... I've never been involved in a league, and have no present desire of doing so. But if there ever came a day that I was, I would be a fool not to consider the BDBL. In my humble opinion it's the best DMB league out there ... and believe me, I've checked out enough web sites to make that opinion."

- Tom Milne

"(The BDBL) sets the standards for every other league out there."

- Chris Luhning

"Thanks for stealing my husband. Now he sits at dinner calculating stats and talking about 14 year old high school prospects. "

- Kerry Clemm

"You guys have the most professional looking site I've seen."

- Michael Johnson

"This is the best league I've ever been in!"

- Mike Stein

"This is the best web site I've ever seen for a DMB league and the league looks to be a blast. The writing is articulate and enjoyable...I've followed your league for some time now and, believe me, I'm damn impressed. I'm impressed with the involvement, the web site, and the competition. This league appears to be first class and I don't want to be a part of a league that's anything less."

- David Myers

"I think the BDBL is one of the best leagues that I have been in. (Commissioner Glander is) one of the most patient and conscientious commissioners that I have known."

- Bob Bruzzone

"I've said it before, this is the best league on the net. I feel very fortunate to be a part of this fantastic league."

- Jeff Paulson

"The BDBL is the most well thought out, and the most interesting league I have found. This (league) will be a tremedous success this year and beyond. The owners I have had contact with are high quality and (Commissioner Glander's) work on the web page and the league is nothing short of sensational."

- Chuck Mosca

"I have given up my team in another DMB league solely to concentrate on (the BDBL.) I just wanted to say that (the BDBL) has impressed me that much."

- Scot Zook

"I have never known Mike to be anything but the most committed commissioner around. This is a guy who used to write game summaries into the wee hours of the morning for the reading pleasure of me and maybe one other guy. He did it because he LOVES this shit...I question his sanity often -- NOT his dedication to running a top-flight league."

- Paul Marazita

"You still suck, but I like what you have done with the web page."

- Bryan Sakolsky
