Continuing our look back at the CFCL's first 25 years, we return to the 1992 Draft for another classic incident.
It's every Roto player's nightmare -- getting stuck with a player you didn't want, usually while trying to drive the price up for other owners. In the case of Six Packs owner Kelly Barone, that player was Ramon Martinez - a name Kelly had tossed out because he wanted to wait a while before nominating the Dodger pitcher he really wanted, Tom Candiotti.
Ending up with Martinez put Kelly into a funk that lasted the rest of the Draft - as the video shows, he was still visibly upset about it - not just 10 minutes afterwards, but over an hour later.
Of course, Kelly's leaguemates were very sympathetic and supportive...
The following video is a long one - nearly 9 minutes - but that's just a fraction of the time that Kelly's grief lasted, and there's some additional fun stuff inlcuded as well. Enjoy!
