Any 80's historical leagues out there?

Yeah, any 1980's historical leagues around with openings? I'm interested in being in a league that's in the 80's right now but I can't seem to find any. So I figured I might as well make a post seeing if someone can help me out.

Jeremy, The Golden Age of Baseball (www.goldenageofbaseball.com) just finished our first year(1977) and are preparing for the 77 Playoffs. I know it's a little earlier than you're looking for, but it's a very good league. We use ootp5, and generate real life ammy's the year they were drafted instead of importing them in the year they appeared in the major leagues. Our sim schedule is 7/8/7, 3 sims/week. We are implementing CatoBase at the end of the year, and we use BOSI as well. Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles are both open. Red Sox just finished 77 at 91-71 and 4 games behind the Yankees for the AL East. They have Carl Yazstremski in his walk year as well as Carlton Fisk, Fred Lynn, Jim Rice, Darryl Evans, Fergie Jenkins and Luis Tiant. They have the 2nd best minor league system in the league and a young Wade Boggs is developing in their minors as well as John Tudor and Bruce Hurst. The Orioles have rookie of the year candidate Eddie Murray as well as a great pitching staff led by Cy Young Candidate Jim Palmer, also featuring Mike Flanagan, Scott McGregor and the Martinez brothers, Denny and Tippy. If you have interest, you can email me at mandersen@gotucson.com or AIM me at AndersenMat. You must own OOTP5.

God damn it, you had me until the whole OOTP5 thing. I don't have it, only 6.

While openings are rare most of the time, The Classic Internet Baseball League is getting ready to begin the 1986 season, our 7th overall this week.

As seasons begin there are sometimes an unforseen opening or 2 that can occur. You're more then welcome to check out the site and jump on the waiting list, which is pretty much empty now if you like.

Consider me confused then as to why your listed as the Redsox owner on the owner page. Did you reinstall it or something?

Jeremy Weimer · 12-14-2004, 05:49 AM

Yes I did. I was bored enough to reinstall it and join.

We are going to have a couple at the end of our season (but we are currently in 1991).
