I'll put a vote in for HPBL being a very good league. Of course I use to be the co commish and Phillies GM. It is a very good and active league and have tried to model my other two leagues after it. One has worked, one hasn't.

I said this before to my leagues, yes the commish plays a big role in the league success, but without dedicated and active gm's, a league is not going anywhere. As I said I run two leagues, one just started has been very active so far, I run another league that I am unable to keep the league full and messageboard participation has been minimal, although GM's are good with the exports. So that is just an example of one commish having one very active league and one not active league. Just my 2 pennies.

I've heard that one is "historical" league. That means that the players are all dead or old enough to be your grandfather- sounds totally boring to me, no thanks!

Yeah, plus there is this team in it that totally sucks called the White Sox. Every single year they finish at .500 like clockwork. The owner tries and tries but he can't lose enough to rebuild nor can he win enough to take a division crown. It's hilarious lol

Depending on which CBL you mean, I may be in it... Used to be in NPBL and Satchel does a great job.

Question: What's so great about the OTBL that eveyone wants in?

I'd say it's got to be in the top 3, if not higher, in message board activity.

But largely because most of the boards most respected posters are in it.

I've tried getting into LotD as well Scotto and had no luck. I feel your pain.

Don't worry, I imagine it has lost some of its luster now that I'm in there.

wireman · 09-25-2004, 02:25 AM

I'm already in the LBA and have had a great time there. I was in the PWBL, and you can't beat a great commish like that fellow they've got.

I'd recommend either one of them to anybody.

This leaves only the USBA as my holy grail of leagues. But it's just too high class for me

that league is very impressive. i noticed a couple teams have had a hard time keeping an owner, but most have 0-1 change in ownership.

thats a damn fine league. if you happen to read this and be in it or run it, excellent job

HA! I'm pretty sure you are the only person to ever pass on an invitation to join

The timing may not have been good then but down the line we'll find a way to match up.

I was gonna say that, but I didn't want to cause any animosity.

Yeah, it's the same CBL I was talking about. I'm Windsor. And, yeah, I know, I went against the topic and listed the leagues that I was already in, just as a cheap plug for all of them.

As for the OTBL, I think the main reason is the fringe benefits.
