Preview for the league...

April 1st 2007,

"Dear baseball fans worldwide. It is the Major League Baseball Commissioner, Mr. Allen H. Selig. I have an important announcment about Major League Baseball. Most, probably all of you will be dissapointed about it. The MLB has hit bankruptcy, and has no way to fund itself. I am sad to say, Major League Baseball will be coming to an end after the 2007 season. It has been a great 131 years for the game of baseball. I have also had news from my good friend, Mr. Frank Duffy. Mr. Duffy says that hes has began to form the NBL. Now most of you are probably asking, "whats the NBL?" Well, the NBL is the National Baseball League. This league will be starting off with 16 teams, the same way the MLB did when the American League came into play. He has told me that these teams will be playing in two separate leagues, the Eastern and Pacific Leagues. There will be more info to come in the next couple of weeks so hang tight."

"Hello everyone. This is the Major League Baseball Commissioner, Mr. Allen J. Selig. As you all know, the MLB will be retiring after this season. It will be sad to see this beatiful league be shut down. But, as I've stated in March the National Baseball League is starting up in 2008. I've talked to Commissioner Frank Duffy, and he has given me all the information on it. The season will be 155 games long, and neither the Pacific nor the Eastern League will have a DH rule. He has also told me the league setup. The league structure is as followed...

EASTERN LEAGUE

Atlanta Pitbulls

Boston Blues

Brooklyn Bandits

Connecticut Gamblers

Long Island Lightning

Philadelphia Liberty

St. Louis Saints

Washington Capitals

PACIFIC LEAGUE

Anaheim Crusaders

Denver Avalanche

Oakland Defenders

Sacramento Rush

Washington Rainmakers

Texas Diablos

Oregon Fire

Hawaii Bulldogs

Once again I will have more information on this league later in the season."


November 1st 2007,

"Good evening everyone. This is Major League Baseball Commissioner Allen H. Selig. Tonight is a sad night for the game of baseball. Major League Baseball has officially gone out of business. It has been a great 131 years for this wonderful league. As the great Phil Rizzuto said, I would like to thank this wonderful game that we call baseball. It has been a great run. Hopefully we can successfully pass the torch on to the National Baseball League. I was the NBL and Frank Duffy the best of luck in the future. And with that, Major League Baseball is offically dead."


And with that, let the National Baseball League begin! Signups are at this link. We currently have 15 teams open. The only team not available is the Long Island Lightning.

How Will This League Work?

Game: Baseball Mogul 2008

Rosters: Fantasy Draft

8 teams in the Eastern and Pacific League

Other Features

-Steroid Tests

-Free Agent Compensation

-Winterball

Also, thank you everyone that remains active in the 2007 GM League. Without you guys, the league would last 1 week. We are now 3 weeks in. Thank you, especially redsfan776, MarlinsMS_35, DudleyDoWright, and Midaz101

Sounds very interesting. What type of players will be in the fantasy draft - just the current players or players from the past as well? Also, will it be like your first league where we went on chat and drafted players live?

Yes, we will be using chatzy again. Current players will be the draft, I was debating about that. But when I thought about it, if you use classic players, it would really screw the whole league up. Cause then you would have all these classic greats playing with fake rookies. I wouldn't really be interested in that.

The NHL called. There suing for copyright infringement on Denver's Team name. As for Boston, were the heck did you get Blues from?

I completely forgot about the Avalanche to be honest with you..lol. Oh well I'll pay the money. Blues was the best thing i could find with Boston. I didn't like the Leprachauns idea you gave me..lol

So, your starting yet another league. Have you guys finished any of them?

-1901 died off, not enough activity and didn't have enough interest to start up.

-2007 running just fine, about to start September up this week.

-NBL (this one) about to start up, go like two spots yet.

So, if you mean finished by gettng through 1 season, then 2007 will be pretty soon. But these leagues go on for multiple seasons, so I wouldn't say finished is the right word :wink:

I'm interested but don't know what to do.

I would love to get Sacramento Rush if you fill me in on the rules and stuff.

Well, do you have Baseball Mogul 2008. If so sign up here and then I'll let you know the rules and other info.
