Openings in Hit For The Cycle - v5 league - Over 5 years old

DaveHorn · 01-10-2009, 10:14 AM

This is an OOTP5 League. The game is required, however can be supplied for free. Those new to OOTP online leagues are encouraged to join us.

We are in our 25th season and are over 5 years old. You won't find a larger, more dedicated, rock solid league of 32 active owners. More than 30% of our owners are original owners. Even a famous GM quoted in this article.

PEOPLE / Computer game nudges baseball out of the park / Players take turns at being their team's general manager

Teams availalbe are Texas, Arizona, and Philly.

Below is some more info on HFTC. If you are interested or have questions, contact me or post in our waiting list forum. Please include your contact information including email and AIM handle if you have one.

I just joined another league, so I don't think I'll join this one now. Thank you for responding!

Detroit opened up today. This team is on the cusp of making the playoffs. A GM could step in today on a competitive team and possibly make the playoffs right away.

Also, check out out a just added cool new feature.

This is an amazing league guys! I've been in this league nearly since its inception and I can tell you that there is no better one out there. Dave has made some amazing improvements to the out of the box game, especially with all the cool BOSI stuff. Beyond that though, it's the community that really makes this league great, fiercely competitive at times but still friendly and supportive towards newer players who are still getting comfortable with the subtler nuances of the game.

DaveHorn · 05-23-2009, 11:03 AM

We are full. Thanks for the kind words G!
