Want all of the benefits of an established league, but starting from the ground up? Look no further!

Not sure if or how many know, but I ran an OOTP league for 6 years up until this Spring. It was called the JOBL (domain isn't active any longer) and we ran from 2002 until 2008 with various OOTP versions. Anyway, just before we went on hiatus (my wife and I had twin girls to go along with a 1.5 yr old), we switched to the newest OOTP version and re-booted as the Federal Baseball League. Unfortunately, due to obvious time constraints, I wasn't able to keep it going.

Well, things are getting a little more normalized in my household now that the girls are 6 months old, so I am going to throw my hat into the Commish world again and re-start the FBL.

We're still working on the initial settings, but the basic premise is a 16+ team ficitional, financial league with mid-20th century finance/strategy/stat settings. I'm also working on weaving a back story based on our previous attempt at the FBL...

The cool thing is, we have more than half of the previous FBL/JOBL owners lined up to return to the new league, so we should have a tight group of quality owners to start. We currently have 10 owners signed up and would like to get at least 6 more, if not 10...

So, if you'd like to join on, feel free to email me with a little info about yourself.

We're currently picking team locations and working toward a final set of settings and rules so we can kick off in the next couple weeks -- a great time to join. It should be fun and prove to be a quality league!
