I'm looking to start a league that I think is pretty original...
SPB is going to start off being a forum based league. We would appreciate if you had AIM or Windows Live Messanger for trading. You get to choose your state(home or favorite) and develop your own team in this fictional league. The season is only 80 games so we will get some history pretty fast. The Championship Tourney(name could use a lil flair
) has 32 teams invited for that ncaa tourney feel to determine what state is the best in baseball! Should be a pretty fun and exciting league as the playoffs get a lot involved and a lot of pressure to win it all.
