For Love of the Game is now open and looking for owners. A unique league, For Love of the Game combines the old school negro league with the new school era of baseball.

The league has 16 players who are currently in the MLB Hall of Fame (the supernatural sixteen). Each of these players will join a league full of fictional players as 18 year old superstars (just like the Baseball Maelstrom, thanks for the idea) who will duke it out year after year with their team. Each team will draft a star, and he is unable to be traded/released throughout his career.

Instead of having minor leagues we have a developmental league, where 6 teams produce the rookie class for each year. The developmental league will be sprinkled with real life negro league players, and some MLB players who also made impacts (Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby, Hank Aaron, Gene Baker, etc.). Every year we will bring in 10-20 real life players mixed in with fictional players for the developmental league. If a player does not get drafted, he stays in the D-League for the next season (up to the age of 32). Since there is no minor leagues however, you have to make sure that these players are almost ready to play in the bigs when you draft them. Everytime a player is drafted, a new random MLB player will take his place next season. The developmental league is like its own league, so you get to see complete career stats, news logs, records, and awards.

We have many other features such as our own financial system including your very own sponsor. Players stick with their team until they are 32 and as soon as they hit 32 they must enter league free agency following the season. Player salaries will range from 1,000 dollars (a players salary until he is 32) to 20,000 dollars. Go here to read about everything in full detail. Once you have read the charter sign the agreement, and fill out an application. We look forward to what hopes to be many solid years of play. If you have any questions or need me to clarify something please feel free to email me at akrobat@tpb-fans.com.
