This is kind of weird to say, as you will see, but I would never join a money league.
However, I am the commissioner and an owner in one. It is $3 a season to play and we are in our 4th season. Mark Cooley and I created the league and he had an idea we adopted which is great.
The World Series winner gets a gift certificate to the
Cooperstown Ballcap Company to get a baseball cap.
You can pay season by season, or a bunch of seasons in advance. I won the first 2. Like I said, I am the commissioner so even though people know I cheat, the charm of my personality keeps them coming back.
We have had a few owners that paid a few seasons in advance and then quit. There are no refunds and they didn't ask for their money back.
Anyhow, I love the cap idea. I think everyone in the league does. It gives us something to "wear over someone's head" when we win.
The league is

Anyhow, this is sort of a "money" league with a cap on it.
