This is a very good and fun league.
I joined four sim seasons ago and have made contenders out of an awful team.
There is a good amount of trade action.
Give it a try!

Hey, about 4 seasons ago, I made an awful team out of contenders!

This is an awesome league. I am one of the original owners and I love this league, despite never winning my division and going 0-1 in the World Series in 23 seasons.

Join this league and beat my team like everyone else does!

Yeah, even my team has a better track record than that!

Fun league with lots of great people.

Some really good teams available. Of course there are some bad ones too, but usually when a league needs owners, it's for really crappy teams. Two of the available teams are perennial playoff teams that had long time owners who put in a lot of effort. In other words they are great franchises in great shape.

Oh, and we don't give a crap if you move the team, change's it's nickname, and give it new unis and a new logo. That's pretty much a standard thing new owners all do in our league. So don't feel stuck with some else's concept.

It's a good time of the yearly cycle to hop in the league. Playoffs are just over, so you'll have control over who you want to re-sign/cut and what you'll do in free agency.

The one thing I'd say to consider is that the OTBA has been around for a long time, and it's not going anywhere. Before you decide to join a BRAND NEW league that's being advertised, think about how many of those start and fold every year.

Please let me know if you have any questions / are interested in joining.

Bump for a couple quality owners - we're a friendly group but run a quite competitive league. One of the best leagues I've been in.

Prodigal Son · 08-15-2009, 01:07 PM

We've got a couple of spots filled but still have a couple up in the air. I'm expecting to fill those spots very soon, so please let me know ASAP if you have interest in joining.

It's a great group of guys (and gal) to play fake baseball with!
