Classic Baseball Union

Someone out there will be proud that the file for our first league collapsed, and the backups all crashed at the same spot, going two season's back even. Crazy. Anyway, the league decided to stay together and restart in OOTP12. What we did was create a new fresh league, simulated it 28 years forward, and we're all taking over whatever our OOTP AI GMs allowed us to grab.

I have written a back story, kept updates through the simulated years of history and will continue to fill it in as we get going with our normal simulation. The most amazing thing, is that during this 6 week hiatus, all 20 owners are still around and active. If that's not a testament to how awesome this league family is, I don't know what is.

Unfortunately there will always be a time when someone needs to leave the league so I will start this thread now in-case people are interested in following a good fun story. We're not near as writing heavy as some, but we have our own fun.
