DDBL - New Historical 2005 League w/ Draft

[DDBL]

League Name: Digital Diamonds Baseball League (DDBL)

The Digital Diamonds Baseball League (DDBL) is a historical league that began with the 2005 season. We distributed players via a 23-Round Inaugural Draft on the league message board between December 17, 2008 and January 8, 2008. Our web site is still in progress, but you can already tell it is one of the best OOTP sites on the internet.

Please note this is a 22 team league, not a full 30 team league. We figured a new league probably wouldn't be strong enough to support a full 30 owners, so we trimmed 8 teams - the four 90's expansion teams (Rockies, Marlins, Diamondbacks, Rays), three teams that have the same city as other teams (Angels, Mets, White Sox), and baseball's only Canadian team (Blue Jays). Eventually, we hope to add these teams via Expansion Drafts once the league is going strong.

If you would like to join, please email digitaldiamondsbaseball@gmail.com with the following information.....

-Your real name
-The date of birth you'd like displayed in the league file
-Your AIM username (if you have one)
-The top 5 preferences of teams you'd like to own

Feel free to email me if you have any questions. We've had an extremely high level of owner participation so far, and you'll see our league has many unique features and members if you look around the web site.

Hey guys, my name is Chris and I will be helping Justin out with this league. I can tell you from personal experience that Justin is a fantastic commissioner that will make this league enjoyable for all.

He runs a tight ship and will make sure things get done the right way. If you want to join an active, fun, and most importantly (to me) competitive league... then this is the league for you.

2005 is the first season where all teams have their current cities

Haha, if it's any consolation, that was the toughest call for me to make. Maybe you can take over the ChiSox if we reach the point where we can expand to include the missing teams.

I would be interested in the Indians if they are still open.
