Life has many serious issues, but fantasy baseball is not one of them. Almost 33 years ago, we created the Synthetic Chemicals Baseball Society (SCABS) as a means of distraction and relaxation. Though the league has changed significantly over the years, the goal has not. This blog is a continuation of the goal and contains a history of the league from its 1985 beginning to it's current season. So sit back, read and enjoy.
