The California Baseball League

newportnik · 07-11-2011, 03:41 PM

The California Baseball League is ready for it's inaugural season. The league contains 16 teams, divided into 2 sub-leagues, the Southern California Division and the Northern California Division. Here are the teams in the league:

Southern California Division
San Diego Swing
Mission Viejo Hurlers
Los Angeles Thunder
Long Beach Bruins
Ladera Ranch Lions
Irvine Vipers
Huntington Beach Wizards
Anaheim Angels

Northern California Division
Santa Barbara Rockets
San Luis Obispo Sharks
San Jose Earthquakes
San Francisco Red Hawks
Sacramento Capitals
Fresno Snow Leopards
Fremont Rivercats
Bakersfield Blaze

The league plays 162 games, with interleague play. The CBL does their playoffs a bit differently from typical baseball leagues. With 16 teams, all 8 teams from each conference make the playoffs, seeded by their record in the regular season. The winners of each conference's playoffs will face off in the California Series.

I created California as a nation, and placed the league and all 16 teams in California. The league rules are set at no foreigners allowed, so all players are from California. I will be controlling my hometown team, the Ladera Ranch Lions.

Here is Ladera's starting lineup for the upcoming 2021 season:

SS Kashyap Gorawala
Arguably the best player in the CBL, Gorawala has blazing speed and is a great hitter.

2B Julius Sharp
Sharp may not be the best hitter, but he fills the role that the Lions want in this position, a good sacrifice bunter who can put the ball in play

C Harumi Mizuno
A stud hitter, Mizuno is a big bat for the Lions, and should lead the league in many categories.

LF Stu Poole
Poole has a ton of power, making him a perfect #4 hitter.

3B Alberto Urbina
A solid player, he'll protect Poole and Mizuno.

CF John Merritt
Not much of a hitter, but he provides speed at the bottom of the order.

1B Jesus Correa
A decent hitter, Correa is in the lineup more for his glove at first than his bat.

RF Jeff Smith
Smith has speed and a good glove, making a solid hitter before the pitcher.

Do you still have this league going? If so I love to get a copy of it if you don't mind.

Sorry, don't think I have a copy of this league anymore. I abandoned and ended up deleting it
