I'm the guy that recently resigned as the owner of the California Angels and I have a few choice words to say about the ORB.

Other Reality Baseball likes to describe itself as one of the best OOTP leagues around. They point to their extremely active owner base, their long history (now starting their 12th season), their innovative and intelligent rules, their custom edited historical rookies (Thanks Aussie Mark!), and their effective governing board (if the commish is away then one of his backups runs the sim). The ORB swaggers and brags and it's all true. This is an outstanding historical league.

The Angels are a solid team and have an excellent shot at making a 5th straight playoff appearance. They had the lowest ERA in the American League last year and were third in runs scored. The rotation features future ORB Hall-of-Famer Dave Steib (17-6 2.78) and Mike Morgan (19-9 3.49). The Angels have an powerful outfield featuring 1991 MVP Stan Javier (.283 48 129), Dante Bichette (.335 29 124), and Paul O'Neill (.230 32 108). The biggest challenge for a new owner will be finding a replacement for free agent 1B Mike Marshall (.299 39 120).

If you like 90's baseball then this is the league to join.
