Reading/Viewing Stats 1st Quarter 2026

It is time for the first quarter of 2026 report, where I share how much I have been watching, reading, and listening to content. I have been kind of disappointed in my overall reading stats, but I have to remind myself that I do a lot of reading in tabletop role-playing game manuals. That reading doesn’t get recorded because I am not finishing any books, but reading and getting information piece by piece. Anyway, here are the reading, viewing, and listening stats for the first quarter of 2026.

Fantasy Baseball: Introducing the 2026 Coca-Cola Kids B-Team (updated 4/26/26)

We are two weeks into the baseball season, and the Coca-Cola Kids B-Team is deep in it! The Kids B-Team plays in the UPCBaseball League, which is a high-maintenance league as the roster may be changed daily. That is a lot of days of changing rosters in a baseball season. I am excited for the Kids this year as they had a nice draft and feel good about the season for these players.

In ten weeks, the first week of June, I will create a new post to give my thoughts on the team as we enter the summer months. Until then, I will update this post with weekly match-up results and any roster changes that I make.

Week 1: Coca-Cola Kids vs. Anyone but the Cubs 9-5 “Kids Off to a Nice Start in 2026” (4th in League)

Week 2: Coca-Cola Kids (9-5-4) vs. Acuna Matada (7-7-4) 12-5 “Kids Pitching is Dominant in Win” (2nd in League)

Week 3: Coca-Cola Kids (21-10-5) vs. Bregging Rights (16-14-6) Match-up of the Week 10-4 “Kids Deliver a Balanced Attack Against Bregging Rights” (1st in League)

Week 4: Coca-Cola Kids (31-14-9) vs. Release the Kimbrel (33-16-5) Match-up of the Week 8-6 “Kids Bring a Balanced Attack to Sneak by Kimbrel”

Week 5: Coca-Cola Kids (39-20-13) vs. Gourmet by Gorman (28-31-13) Match-up of the Week

Fantasy Baseball is Back: Introducing the 2026 Coca-Cola Kids A-Team (Updated 4/26/26)

I always look forward to the baseball season to watch my Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers make a run for the World Series. I’ve been a fan of the Cubs since I was a tiny little child, and I have been a fan of the Tigers since 1984.

In 1988, I found a new reason to love the game, Fantasy Baseball. I have played on

some iteration of fantasy baseball every year since the paper and pencil years, checking statistics in the USA Today every Tuesday to score, to my first online baseball league on Sandbox? or something like that. Now I play in two leagues, hence the A-team and B-team, and this is the 25th year I have had the Coca-Cola Kids A-Team in the League of the Gorgeous Rogues. In ten weeks, the first week of June, I will create a new post to give my thoughts on the team as we enter the summer months. Until then, I will update this post with weekly match-up results and any roster changes that I make.

Week 1: Coca-Cola Kids vs. Brutes FBC 2-15 “Kids off to a Bad Start…Horrible, Actually” (4th Division, 9th League)

Week 2: Coca-Cola Kids (2-15-3) vs. BrownTown (3-15-2) 5-11 “Things Couldn’t Be Much Worse for the Kids: Looking for a Turnaround” (5th Division, 10th League)

Week 3: Coca-Cola Kids (7-26-7) vs. Pacaya Chiltepes (17-17-6) 5-9 “Chiltepes Offense Too Much for the Kids” (5th Division, 10th League)

Week 4: Coca-Cola Kids (12-35-13) vs. Affianced Buddhas (30-24-6) 3-12 “Kids Offense Anemic as it Fails to Score”

Week 5: Coca-Cola Kids (15-47-18) vs. Fried Chicken Bucket (37-36-7)

Week 6: Coca-Cola Kids vs. Fried Chicken Bucket

Hope springs eternal at this point of the season, so here are the members of the Coca-Cola Kids A-Team (updated 4/26/26).
