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, 2015, saw the DBacks try to repeat as champions, but the Indians took them 7 games and finally won their first championship. GM Greg Meyers is the winning-est GM in the WBL's history and had never made it to a World Series until winning it all in 2015. Currently in the beginning of our off season sims. We will open the 2016 season on 5/27/10. This is the perfect time to get involved!

Current Open GM Positions:
Texas Rangers

Former Brewers owner here. Great league that I fortunately sucked at keeping up with due to outside forces.

Get in while the getting is good. Great guys, great commish. Good luck going forward.

Four open slots. We need some active, dedicated GMs to add to our great group.

Mariners taken. Three spots open. See first post.

mcarlisle21 · 05-11-2010, 04:20 PM

Angels taken. Brewers and Rangers are the only teams left. I don't expect them to last long.

Only one spot left. See the first post for details.
