Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to this year's Coca-Cola Kids Fantasy Baseball Team. The Kids were established in 1988 as a National League Rotisserie Baseball Club, but then upgraded to an online team in the mid 1990's on Sandbox. The Kids joined their current league, the League of the Gorgeous Rogues, in 2003 and took 7th place. Since then the Kids won the championship twice in 2006 and 2013. They have finished last more times than they would like to admit, however. Enough history, it is time to look forward to the 2021 baseball season.
The Coca-Cola Kids had the first pick in the draft and took Lucas Giolito starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. Each team in the league gets to have three keepers each season. The Kids elected to keep: Jose Abreu, First Base of the Chicago White Sox, Kris Bryant third base and outfield for the Chicago Cubs and Bo Bichette, short stop of the Toronto Blue Jays.
