2018 Draft
For the 2nd year in a row and 4th time (?) overall Rockem Sockem held our annual draft at the LIC Bar in Long Island City. The very friendly Stefanie helped us out yet again and the frigid March weather did not dampen our spirits. Held on St. Patrick's Day the draft was a long but (as always) an amazing day. the fact we still get together to do this 17 years in is simply stunning. 11 of the 12 of us made it and unfortunately Fatty couldn't attend in person, but hopped up on painkillers and streaming from Cali he joined us all the same. McNally Brought custom baseballs, we signed them, we rule.
Below are pics from the day and results from the draft itself:
