Patriot League Baseball (PLB) forms!

TippsTheFoo · 08-23-2002, 03:56 PM

22 of the 24 franchises have been claimed and I'm currently looking for two solid owners to fill the Cardinals and White Sox. I am, along with present owners, hammering out the details to our rules and we're currently in the pre-season. If you'd like a chance to start a team and league from the ground up, please stop by.

In addition to signing up on the board, please send an application to the following e-mail address: plb_commish@tippin.org Let me know which teams you are interested in as there may, quite possibly, be more who want in than there are spots available. Tell me as much about yourself and your OOTP experience as you can. Thanks!

"On August 12, 1994, the MLB stopped play as owners and players could not come to a labor agreement, thus calling for a strike. Both sides hoped a solution would be reached quickly, but the days turned into weeks and the weeks dragged into months. On February 16, 1995, the MLB collapsed as owners filed for bankruptcy.

A group of 24 businessmen and philanthropists created a new baseball league on March 1, 1995 - the PLB. Disgusted on how the country's national past time became scorned by society at large, they moved quickly to undo the damage Major League Baseball's owners had done.

MLB teams were saved to maintain familiarity among the public and assure a quick transition to the PLB. Franchises in Toronto, Milwaukee, California, Florida, Montreal, Colorado and San Diego could not be saved, however, as new ownership could not be found for those existing markets. Three new franchises were in turn added to the initial 21 as the Portland Ravens, Washington Eagles and Las Vegas Aztecs were created."

Hi Matt, I'd be interested in the Baltimore franchise if it's still available. I'll me sending you an email soon about myself and my OOTP experience and we can go from there if you'd like. Thanks!

TippsTheFoo · 08-23-2002, 05:20 PM

E-mail sent...The O's are yours for the taking.

I'm a Raiders fan, I can't see me joining a Patriots league

Good luck, however!

Rpmbucs · 08-26-2002, 04:28 PM

Best of Luck Matt. Looks to be an interesting and exciting league.

LedgerSko · 08-26-2002, 09:22 PM

It's not a league for Patriots fans. Its the PLB because we are rebelling against the MLB for legit reasons, and that is Patriotic.

Rush22 · 08-26-2002, 10:20 PM

LoL, it still involves the logo!

Rush22 · 08-26-2002, 11:23 PM

Can someone tell me how to insert hyperlinks in my profile thingy...lol

Thanks, Bob.

Only 3 teams left (Chicago White Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals)!!! Get 'em while they're HOT.

TippsTheFoo · 08-28-2002, 06:51 PM

5 hours until the 'Pre-Draft' deadline (each team gets to choose 4 "keeper" players that was on their '95 equivalent MLB team).

If you'd like to get in on the fun come give us a look.

The Phillies and Cards are available.

We begin the draft tomorrow at 9am EST. We'll be holding 4 live rounds and then the CPU will finish it up (40 total rounds: 4 keeper + 4 live + 32 CPU).

TippsTheFoo · 09-01-2002, 11:53 PM

The Red Sox are now available.

We are now in the third round of the initial draft...if you'd like to own the team, please shoot me an e-mail and check out our site.

http://www.tippin.org/plb/home.html

So far, the BoSox have some great players like Mo Vaughn and Tim Wakefield.

Contact me (plb_commish@tippin.org) to take over the '95 Red Sox!

TippsTheFoo · 09-02-2002, 10:33 PM

We're still looking for a Boston Red Sox owner...the White Sox *may* also be available as I have not heard from their owner in days (with no response to e-mails).

plb_commish@tippin.org

TippsTheFoo · 09-10-2002, 04:39 PM

Both the Cardinals and White Sox are now available. We have not yet begun the season (tentative start date: 9/16).

If you're interested, please stop by or shoot me an e-mail. Thanks!
