This is the story of a ball player who beat the odds. Its a true heartwarmer, and I'd love to hear what you think.

Very nice work Fitzy. One thing to add maybe is put all your final rankings in a public google spreadsheet and post a link to that so everyone can see where their favorite GM ranks if its not in the top/bottom 10.

BTW: The reason I added "MLB" is to add a searchable keyword. Might help some people find it in a Google/Google News search. Someone might search for "MLB GM rankings" or who knows what, and having both keywords in the headline helps a ton.
