Ask NotGraphs! (#28)

September 27, 2012

Dear NotGraphs,

My wife hates my fifth-place fantasy baseball team, especially after I traded Chris Sale for Justin Upton. Do I dare make Jurickson Profar one of my two keepers? Also, do you have any tips for how to travel back in time and convince a younger version of myself to attend a less expensive law school?

I time travel all the time since my divorce. The only thing I can’t do while time travelling is play baseball, but you can’t change anything so sorry.
