WPORBL-55, WPORBL-74, WPORBL-94 Openings

Three fun, slower-paced, retro leagues have a few openings. If you enjoy savoring each season to its fullest and appreciate more time to be involved (i.e. turning off your computer for a week does not cost you half or a full season), with developing your franchise and seeing some of your favorites from the past (or learn an era you are less familiar with), the WPORBL leagues could be a great fit. The leagues have a few years and seasons under our belt and plan to be around as long as the game (and I) continue to exist. These are great leagues to tune up your MLB history!

WPORBL-74*started the 1980 final stretch into September - migrating to OOTP26 after World Series.

WPORBL-94*On OOTP26 and about one week from 2000 First Year Draft.

WPORBL-55*On OOTP26 and approaching 1957 Rule 5 Draft

Open Teams

WPORBL-74 - Padres and White Sox
WPORBL-94 - Diamondbacks, Cardinals, Padres, Royals, A's*(1999 Champs), Brewers, White Sox, Indians, Astros
