This is a good time to join the league. We are running one more season in v6.5. Then we’ll be converting to v2007. We are in the planning stages for the league setup. So, if you joined now, you’ll have a say in how the league will look and be run in the future.

The Laseron Baseball Assoiciation is fictional league setup in a fictional world. (See map of Laseron) It has two leagues of two divisions each with five teams, for a total of 20 teams.

- The league has been in existence since June, 2002.
- We will be beginning our 25th season.
- We are using v6.51b. (Switching to v2007 after this season.)
- Our entire history is stored on Catobase.
- We sim one week on Mondays and Wednesdays. And we sim two weeks on Saturday.
- The top two teams in each division makes the playoffs.
- There is an $85 million salary cap and a $15 million team cash maximum.
- We hold a Rule V draft.
- Our amateur draft is set for June 15th. We begin drafting in the off season.

Statistically, the league mimics the majors late sixties, early seventies. We have a 154 game schedule. Dominant pitchers can have ERAs below 2.00. But there is a fair amount of offense. We've had one player go 50-50. We've had another player bat .400, while three other players have come close. Still, we regularly have players hit .300 with 20+ HRs and 110+ RBI and win our Rick Blast Award.

Sobtec Bay (click here to see their roster) is a rebuilding project. But it is not without hope.

First off, Montague Gherkin is a very good veteran player. He could be traded for some combination of young players, prospect and draft picks.

Secondly, Sobtec just drafted Luther Mask with the third overall pick in the draft. He’s the best pitcher in the draft. In a couple of seasons, he’ll be paired with Leroy Paris. That would be the beginnings of a good rotation. And they already have a young closer, Bill Monier

Managing this team will be a challenge. But it is not impossible to turn them into winners or, eventually, champions. The league is competitive. There has only been one dominant dynasty in the league’s 25 year history. In fact, no team has even won its league championship more than three times in a row. And that was only done once, 1903-1905.

The league encourages writing, but the only requirement is to respond to trades in a timely manner and remain active with respect to exports and drafts.
