There's no interleague play; teams from opposite leagues don't meet until the All-America Series. It was a difficult decision but I went with the DH rule in both leagues.

My league consists of about one-third foreign players, with a fair number of Europeans, Africans, and South Americans (including Brazilians, Chileans, and Argentines). I've changed several countries to be more baseball-friendly, including some African and south Asian nations (like India).

I'm curious about how the fictional leagues of others are constructed.
Similar to yours, 'cept I use the '81 squabble as the beginning point (starting in '82)
24 teams, 2 leagues, 2 divisions in each
164 game season, weighted with more games for within same division
no interleague
dh rule across the board
just added wild cards to playoffs, previously it had been division winners only
