Top Five Celebrities in Fantasy Baseball Leagues
Baseball fans everywhere are getting ready for the start of this fantasy baseball season. When it comes to fantasy leagues, it isn't just the hard-core baseball fanatics who get in on the action; many celebrities try their hand at it as well. Some are more dedicated than others, but they all seem to be having fun with it. Here is a look at the top five celebrities that are active in fantasy baseball leagues.
Zooey Deschanel
The star of the sitcom "New Girl" manages her own fantasy baseball team.. According to her twitter account, her team name is the "Burbank Puppies." She admits not being die-hard, but they did manage to beat at least one other team last season.
Geddy Lee
The frontman for the Canadian band Rush is a huge baseball fan, and even co-owned a rotisserie baseball team for a time. He has been active in an online fantasy baseball league for over a decade, though he was active in other leagues before joining the online community. Lee participates with his son, and he has won several championships over the years.
Meatloaf
It may be surprising, but Meatloaf is a diehard New York Yankees fan, and he takes his fantasy baseball league almost as seriously as the actual game itself. When the two worlds collide, he roots for the Yankees to win, but admits that he only hopes "for the Yankees to win, 1-0" so that he can protect his fantasy team too.
Mike Mills
Now that his band, REM, has broken up, Mike Mills has plenty of time to spend on his fantasy teams. The Atlanta Braves fan had a grand total of five teams last year, proving that he is more than a casual fan. He even tried his luck at an AL-only team, but stuck to mixed teams for the other four teams.
Ben Gibbard
Death Cab for Cutie's frontman Ben Gibbard is a talented fantasy baseball fan who knows his stuff. Gibbard is also a Seattle Mariners fan when he isn't looking for the next good trade on his fantasy team. Since he was once married to Zooey Descchanel, he may just be the reason that she is a fantasy baseball fan too.
