Turnover has been higher around our switch to 2006, so we might have a few openings soon.

This is one of the longest running and best leagues on the net. Shane and Shannon do a great job of running the league and keeping people interested and paying attention. This is the league that you want to be in.

I agree with that.
I was in this league with OOTP 5. I left the OOTP world for a while, and came back to find this league still kicking, and I was able to rejoin. You don't see that very often with online leagues!

Looks like we have one opening. The Oakland Athletics are currently available. Our remaining waiting list is pretty old, so you have a good shot at getting into the league as we proceed with OOTP 2007.

I've been an owner since the 2013 season and will be as the long as the league is around. Great league and an even greater group of owners.

I am changing my opinion from above, I no longer will say one of the best leagues, I will say THE BEST LEAGUE on the net. This is the league that you want to be in, bar none.

This is a great league and holds some of my best memories as far as online baseball.

As we gear up for our 24th season (and 6th year of real time) it looks like the Montreal Expos are available. They are led by franchise Legend Mickey Mantle.
