Welcome to the very first player profile in the Human League. I should take this opportunity to make it absolutely clear that I know none of the Reds personally. I've never met a single one. My impressions are based on four years of observations and nothing else, so please feel free to put the smack down on me with your evidence to the contrary of my opinions.

Jason LaRue.

Introducing the Human League.

Shoutout for the mad props over at Reds and Blues. You're sassy and sophisticated too, Joel.

When you choose a player’s jersey to wear, you’re stating your respect for that player, but you’re also saying something about yourself. You’re saying that you identify with some of the characteristics of that person, so if you choose to wear LaRue’s number, you’re probably telling the world that you’re a no-nonsense person who prefers to go about your business without drawing a lot of attention to yourself. You’re saying that you appreciate the simple pleasures of life: a realiable pick-up truck, swimming in the ol’ mudhole, an ice-cold beer on a hot summer night in Indiana, and little pink houses for you and me.
