Through the magic that is Out of the Park Baseball, the All-American Baseball League will soon begin its 2006 season. Twenty of the top collegiate baseball programs will compete for the national championship following a 162-game schedule. The teams will be divided into two divisions of 10 teams each. These alignments are listed below. Team rosters are taken from baseball-almanac.com. Whether a player appeared in one major league game or 1,000 games, he is eligible for the league.
