How the WBL Began
The World Baseball League was founded by Commissioner Matt Carlisle on June 6th, 2008. The league began with the release of Out Of The Park Baseball 9, which was released on June 18th, 2008. Matt has been involved in online leagues since 1995 and brings that experience in fantasy baseball to the WBL.

Some of the founding ideas and principles were borrowed (with permission) from other successful leagues while others were debated and discussed prior to the opening season by the original league members. A special thanks goes out to AllSimBaseball for providing the league hosting service and Major League Sim Baseball (MLSB) and the now defunct North American Baseball Alliance (NABA) for allowing us to borrow some of their rules and ideas for our initial season.

Where We Are Now
The most recent season, 2013, was our last season with OOTP9. We are into our first spring training sim tomorrow and will open the 2014 season on Sunday. This is the perfect time to get involved!
