The Grand Salami is a modern day MLB style league with a slight twist in that the league does not have divisions. Every team in the AL/NL is in one big division, fighting it out with 14 other teams to make the playoffs. Our GMs have found this format has created some quite compelling playoff races down the stretch, and have enjoyed the change.
