 1 Glen McPherson The defending
champ in both the NL & AL !
Incredible record since joining the Dowbiggin leagues in 1999 -- in his inaugural NL season, Glen captured all the marbles as he charged
to a 90-win season, tops in the loop, and won the final in five games,
and after seasons of 103 and 92 wins, won another 90 in 2003 and picked up his
2nd title and made it three in 2004 after a 103 victory campaign. Glen has been active in Scoresheet since 1990
(an original, for example in AL Cobb and NL Bench). Also a founding member of SICO
(on-line league) which is now into its 9th season. Married, Glen lives in
London. Graduated with a math degree from
the University of Waterloo in 1992.
2 Howard Vant Joined NL Dowbiggin following a 2001 championship season in Scorecard
Harry's NL competition. Much experience in ABBA, Strato and
Scoresheet. Able to carry high-ticket stars given his experience in
banking -- with TD for 20 years, currently a manager in St. Catharines.
Recently completed his MBA with
Dalhousie and actively curls and plays competitive slo-pitch -- the real
baseball game for beer drinkers! The lovely Patty met this young junior
A goalie for Niagara Falls who also played for Niagara-on-the-Lake in
the Canadian Lacrosse championship team.
 3 Michael
Cohen Michael is in the technology industry and has
enjoyed attending professional baseball and sporting events all over the
world as a perk of his extensive international travel for his job. Go
Lotte Giants! (Korean Professional Baseball League). Michael used to
make deals at 3am on little sleep using MSN or Yahoo IM which mostly
worked until one fatal transaction scared him forever…. traded a early
season slumping Johan Santana for a "playing over his head", Ken Harvey,
a few seasons back. Been involved in Scoresheet for 10 years. Majority
in AL BratPack which includes a salary cap to the mix and enjoyed a 105
win season in 2005, multiple playoff appearances and two WS wins. Former
roti enthusiast who saw the light and has not looked back since. Other
league is AL Robinson, with a rebuild going on over there.
 4 John Buchanan
A Scoresheet Baseball owner since 1992 (original lineup -- Alomar,
Molitor, Carter,
Winfield, Ventura, Brett, Harper, Bichette, Weiss, and no pitching!). Joined our NL
and AL Leagues in 1995. Also has a team in AL Ruth (much better than his Dowbiggin
team but he's working on it) and is a regular in our Old-Timers winter baseball John is a Controller for a non-profit
organization which runs a summer camp in the Muskokas. At part of his job
description is required to stay at the camp throughout the summer! A personal tax expert. New
Zealand born (still doesn't understand why no wickets in baseball). And, do not mess
with John -- his father was once heavyweight champ of Canada, New Zealand, and Australia
(and taught John all the tricks), younger brother played football for the Nebraska
Cornhuskers, Toronto Argonauts, and Hamilton Tiger Cats. John has played hockey,
football, and soccer -- and known as the brains of the family!
 5 Gord Dowbiggin
A
Scoresheet manager since 1988! League founder (he is entitled to a
special plaque in the builder's section of our Hall of Fame)! Very
accomplished manager -- with the AL a little more to his liking (seven pennants and three league championships).
Finalist in 2004. No slouch though in the NL with four pennants and a league title.
Still a babe -- in his 40s. Born in Edmonton, fourth of five boys! (Bruce is
#3). Married 12 years. 3 kids. Has lived in
Montreal, Sherbrooke, Burlington, Toronto, and Vancouver. Has played every SS game except hockey. Favourite teams -- Orioles (no wonder he
gave me Clemens for Jeff Reboulet), Expos, Celtics, Bruins, Colts (huh?). Favourite
players: Ted Williams, F. Robinson, Bird, Orr. Favourite sports moment: Paul Henderson's
goal 1972 (what else?). Pet Peeve: Losing to Jay in SS. Ambition: To beat Jay in SS.
 6 Mike
Hagan/Anand Sinha Anand is a computer geek who's loved baseball since
he saw Brooks Robinson in the '70 World Series. He's been
been playing Scoresheet since 1990, winning 7 titles over a number of
leagues. Also with his share of stinkers, ending up last 5 times. During his
period his 2 year old daughter has grown to 16 year old lifeguard, and the
Sinhas have added three more children! Favourite player of all time? Robbie Alomar. Or maybe Steve Rogers. And Tom Seaver. Oh yeah, Rodney Scott, and
Jim Palmer, and Brooksie. Of the current players, Mark Prior and Vladdy.
Mike notes that both he and Anand have been playing Scoresheet for a third
of their lives (although Mike notes he is much, much younger than Anand).
He's still plugging away at playing ball in the summers, well Slo-Pitch
anyway. With the advancing years, he's now considering a move to the
coaching ranks. Lives in Grimsby (two young sons in the family),
manages a hazardous waste transportation company in Hamilton. Ongoing
feud with Anand over cheating in SS took a turn in 2004 when Anand's club in
NL Kile whipped Mike in the playoffs (when, Mike suggests, he had no
business doing so.)
 7 Jay-Dell Mah
Loves the NL as there is one less player to worry about.
Still believes he has Koufax & Drysdale and thus doesn't have to get
any more pitching. Became the league's webmeister after having
learned to smoke and type at the same time. Once a CBC radio and
TV reporter who lasted for decades as he was the only one who could
explain Market Value Assessment. Trading triumphs included sending
Pedro Martinez to Ken for ... Willie Greene. Six-time NL champ.
Managed the AL squad to first to worst to first over the last three seasons. Now a resident of the
former Wacky Bennett Land after more than 30 years in Toronto.
 8 Howard Bernstein
Independent
television producer, television lecturer (Ryerson), former "big boss" at CBC
radio and televison and TVO (among others). Ex-Montrealer a great source of info on
the ol' Montreal Royals and the Jarry Park days of the Expos.
 9 Al Buchnea
AL champion in 2003 (the second time in four seasons).
Scoresheet
manager non-pareil. Wonders why DH's don't get any at bats in the NL. Believes it's
possible to win Scoresheet without watching any games and without
knowing who most of his players are. The team name Gweilos is Cantonese for
either "foreign devil" or "ghost" depending on who you ask. He hears a lot of it in Hong
Kong, hence his inferiority complex, that manifests itself with a heavy handed approach to
games. Television producer/bon vivant now based in Hong Kong. Frequent trips to Bali
and other exotic vacation resorts. (In the 2000 AL, sparked a major
investigation after his Gweilos scored a stunning upset in the finals
after finishing 14 games back in the regular season.
 10 Ken Warren/Rick
Haviland
Defending NL champ having edged Glen in the 2005 final. Ken is a former
accountant at Ontario Hydro. Has left the "working world" for work and
play -- now playing Bridge professionally on a full time basis and has begun
to market his sports projections. Two time Canadian
open pairs champion in bridge ! Has played Scoresheet baseball since 1989!
(Also been in SS hockey and football.) Also has a title in AL
Dowbiggin, winner of four titles in AL Mantle, and has captured titles in AL Gehrig, two in hockey
and another in football!
Managers in the AL are the same as the NL
with the exception of Al Tessmer running the Tessmer/Vant entry.
Al
Tessmer Winner of the AL title in Scorecard Harry's
loop in 2001. A lawyer in St.
Catharines for over 20 years , slo-pitch player for 25+ years, a veteran
