Baseball Maelstrom has been around since 2002 when we started with Rolen's OOTP3 roster set. Since then, we've completed 17 seasons and many of our original team Legends are close to retirement.
Now, we are in a transition as we gear up for conversion to OOTP2006. We're modifying some of our rules to adjust to the new game system and deciding which options we will be using as our league moves forward. All of this has led to some openings, from rebuilding projects to playoff contenders.
Would you make a good fit for the league? Well, you will have to make sure you have adequate time on your hands. We have two mandatory ballots every season, which doesn't take too much time. However, we also have several special live events during the season. While attendance is not required, you may find that it adds to your enjoyment.
What makes us different? We've been around for 4+ years and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Since we are into the 2018 season, we have a good mix of real players, fictional and historical. Each season we have two players from baseball history enter the league, one through the draft and the other chosen by the winner of the post-season Tournament (a Tourney held for non-playoff teams). Of course, we also have the Legends. They are players from baseball history that serve as leaders for their teams and can't be traded.
If this all sounds interesting and you think you would make a solid addition to the league, come check us out at our website linked in my sig below. Then, send an email to
management@baseballmaelstrom.com expressing your interest. Include your name, email address and AOL screenname, if any (we use AOL IM for live league events).
We're entering an exciting time for our league as we adapt to the changes of the new version and we look forward to seeing some new faces competing in the league!
