League Origin Story

The year was 2007, and America was starved for it’s National Pastime. The PED Scandal and greed on all fronts broke the nations trust in Major League Baseball, and an Institution of well over 100 years folded up shop and closed their doors. In came John Rodriguez, Sr and a group of wise business men who brought baseball back to the forefront – eschewing the big city lights and bringing the game back to the people.

It's hard to believe that was over 16 years ago.

Since they opened their doors, the PEBA has had it’s share of controversy and tragedy; dynasty and Cinderella. It’s the home to ‘Fireworks’, ‘Tugboat’, ‘El Chupacabra’ and ‘Moon Dog’. It is a shared dynasty of 32 like-minded souls who have crafted an universe – a PEBAverse, like none other – and now you can become part of that legend.

What We're Like

League Structure

32 human teams with 4 minor league affiliates each, plus 4 feeders.
Extended PEBAverse
4 independent AI leagues.
Playoff Structure
12 teams make the playoffs (3 division winners and 3 wild cards)
Top two seeds in each league receive a first round bye.
Wild Card round is best of 5; divisional, league championship, and Rodriguez Cup each best of 7.

The PEBA is a unique participation-based league – we pride ourselves with quality writing that not only covers the game, but takes us out of the dugout and, at times, into the sublime. Two sims a week means we move fast enough to enjoy ourselves, but give you enough breathing space to explore the depths of your team. No where else do you find a GM running his club from a mental hospital, a team broadcaster heading to a foreign land to rekindle his game – only to be hunted for drug smuggling, or a pair of buddies heading out on the road to visit every ball park – and ending up becoming a real life published book! We use a Contribution Points reward system that allows members to make teams their own – be it through ballpark adjustments, sending players to winter ball to ‘hone their skills’, or simply giving your favorite player a nickname – Just ask Michel ‘Train Arollin’’ Provost about that!

Our goal is to produce an environment that reflects realism. We play with Coaching and Scouting ON. Make personnel decisions that matter and prepare for the "fog of war" when judging prospects! It will be your skill and keen eye for talent that will separate you from the pack. Every GM has to rely on his scout’s opinion and his own gut feeling – everyone has their own opinion about a player – no cookie-cutter ratings here! Do you like to trade? Our bustling trade environment shows that if you can't swing a trade here, you can't swing a trade anywhere!

As part of our participation concept, we conduct our winter meetings and amateur draft live in our unique chat room. Shoot the breeze with your fellow GMs or lay the groundwork for that blockbuster deal.
We have been fortunate to attract a quality group of friendly owners – a stable core group that has been together long enough to create an extremely rewarding environment, and now you can find out why for yourself!

We're always interested in getting to know more like-minded individuals with an interest in joining in our fun and would love to hear from you.

Calling this an online league doesn't do it justice. Take a look at the forums, the scope, and breadth of what's been created here -- particularly in relation to your average online league and you'll be astonished. This isn't just an online sim league, it's a living, breathing community of passionate baseball minds who chat and are actively engaged. Whether you're a novice or an old hand at OOTP, this will be the first and last league you'll ever need.

There is serious tradition and extensive history here .... from the (now three) 'Evil Empires', to Trader Matt shifting and shuffling, to small-ballers making big splashes, and an owner who took over for his now deceased father (who was probably axed for control - the investigation that continues years after)

[mavericktango]

Duluth taken now, still teams available

[mavericktango]

Just past the All Star break now, will be swapping more than likely to ootp17 in the off season.

Come and look around, this is one league you won't regret joining

I can't stress enough how fun this league is. I've completely given up playing single player because it doesn't live up to competing against actual humans - and the people in this league know their stuff.

To echo the comments above, there totally is an entire fictional universe that the member's maintain. There's even a book to prove it

And while the baseball stuff is great, the members themselves are genuinely great people. We've had gaming groups (Civilization, Diablo) and we've even had several Mafia/Werewolf games run right on our forums.

I have sent an email and I thought I sent a PM, but it says I have no sent messages. I also filled out the application to join the league but I never know if those actually go through.

Thank you.
