The famous baseball manager Casey Stengel once said “Finding good players is easy. Getting them to play together as a team is another story”. Unlike Casey, we don’t have Mickey Mantle sitting in our office, but we do agree with Mr. Stengel that it’s essential to find great talent and make sure they fit in while also improving our team. Check out our current LeagueApps team roster.
