Historical league looking for new Cardinals owner

Insomniac · 02-28-2007, 10:52 AM

The CCBL needs a new owner for the St. Louis Cardinals. The league, which began in 1930 and is currently in the off-season before the 1949 season, consists of a good group of active owners doing what they can to re-construct baseball history. The league is currently running OOTP 6.5 using the Lehman database as player pool.

The Cards have been managed by an almost-absentee owner the last couple of seasons, so the on-field results have not been great. However, the high draft picks have landed some good prospects. Financially, the team has the lowest payroll in the league (just over $14 million) as the owner has not been active in Free Agency, but has more than $150 million available in cash. It's a great situation for someone ready to build a team to their specifications -- there is almost nothing left to tear down before rebuilding.

For more information on the league, check out the league web site at http://www.ccblsim.com. If you are interested in taking over, or you are just looking for some more info, contact me at michael@ccblsim.com.

Thanks!
