If this is fantasy, get me reality quick

I like the 1995 set a lot. But I think the reason I have never committed to collecting it is it because it holds too many bad memories. Yeah, there was the strike the year before, but it's more than that. There was my fantasy league team. I have mentioned several times how lousy I was at fantasy league baseball. Every year at this time, I get solicited by folks online and off to join a fantasy league. And every year I ignore or decline. It's all because of how terrible I was participating in a fantasy league during the mid-1990s. I played in a league between 1993-95 (yes, we had the great misfortune of playing a fantasy league the 1994 strike). If I remember correctly, I was pretty good at drafting pitchers, but awful at drafting position players. Then my pitchers would go on the DL and my team would be stupid in everything. I'd lose interest about two months into the season and my fellow players would pick the remnants off my dead team's carcass for a hand...
