2008+Draft

The Draft for the 7th Samurai Season of Rockem Sockem Fantasy Baseball took place (and took it's toll) on the slopes of the Catskills near Hunter Mountain at the scenic house of "//whatever the hell catchy nickname that 2 family joint with the basement hot tub//". It was a raucous affair and a crazy weekend and the draft took about 6 hours (one of our quicker actually) on Saturday March 8th. This is all well and good but the beautiful thing about it is that this marked the **first time in Rockem history** **that all of the members participating in the league were present on draft day.** Truly a momentous occasion that we captured on film....dam i don't think we got a pic of all of us together...any way, here is the draft and following will be some pics from the Crazy Weekend. Best of luck to all except the other 11 people in the league.
