Monty Brewster Baseball Association Recruiting Thread (historical) - Page 17

A few months ago, Recte begged me to join this league, even though I said I wouldn't join any more leagues. But after a few tear-stained PMs (still not sure how he transmitted tears digitally, but oh well), I relented.

My team is awful, but the league is good fun. Recte works hard at keeping the MBBA successful, and you should stop reading this thread and join already.

Recte44 · 06-13-2006, 02:21 PM

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer, but my digital tears got Kirk to join the MBBA. Will it work for you?

Recte44 · 06-14-2006, 09:55 AM

Still looking for an Austin owner. This is taking far too long.

Recte44 · 06-14-2006, 07:43 PM

Come on folks- you know you want to take the plunge.

Cliche · 06-14-2006, 08:37 PM

This is one of the best leagues in the history of organized things. C'mon folks... you can read sim-by-sim updates about how my team sucks!

Recte44 · 06-15-2006, 11:38 AM

My daily bump searching for an Austin owner.

Cliche · 06-16-2006, 02:35 AM

Join! This! League!

Bisbo · 06-16-2006, 04:32 PM

This really is one of the finest leagues in the OOTP universe. Matt is an outstanding Commissioner, the owners are very knowledgeable about baseball and OOTP, the forum is extremely active, and we're in our 21st season, so there is a rich history that you will enjoy. Trust me - if you are interested in a challenging, fun OOTP experience, this is the place for you.

Recte44 · 06-16-2006, 06:58 PM

Austin finally filled! Thanks to all for putting up with my daily bumps, and thanks to all my league members for the kind words!

If you're still interested, there's always something to do for an interested party. We will be converting to OOTP2006 when it becomes more stable (that's the plan, anyways) and plan to have a couple of independent leagues come into the fray.

I'm going to bump this despite the fact there are no current vacancies, just to mess with your heads.

Recte44 · 10-17-2006, 04:01 PM

Greetings OOTPers! Many of you may have already heard of the Monty Brewster Baseball Association, but some of you may have not heard of us. I'll give you a little history.

We've been around for 21 full simmed season now, and we're just starting the offseason for our 22nd season. We're finishing off this offseason in OOTP6.5, and then we'll be making the perilous leap (look mom, no hands!) into OOTP:2006 and all of its splendor.

We're a fictional league, with a lot of detail and participation. We do have a full CATO history, which we'll carry over and have as a resource.

Obviously some things will change as we move to 2006, but we'll still keep our elaborate Participation Point system, creativity, high forum activity, general goofiness, and cool programs such as Custom Amateurs, our feeder league (All American Baseball Association), and a prospect development league (Florida Prospect Developmental League). We also have been doing defectors from the Major Leagues (MLB) and will continue to do so, but OOTP 2006 is cool so the majors will actually be simmed in conjunction with the league.

We're looking for someone who has these traits and desires for an online league experience:
1) Someone who is able to be on the forums a lot. If you have a desk job, and need a diversion throughout the day, the MBBA is for you. If you rarely come on line, and rarely check the forums, it's not. If you can't check the forums at least 2x a day, the MBBA probably isn't the league for you.
2) Someone who is creative and likes to write. This is a WRITING league. If you don't like to write, then the MBBA isn't for you. If you have been craving an online league that has 24 active participants who spend time writing articles both on their team and the league in general, bringing the league to life, look no further.
3) Someone who is really, really fanatical about this stuff. Hey, it's not for everyone. We're a bunch of nutjobs when it comes down to it. But we have a good time.

Does this sound like exactly what you're looking for? Then don't be shy, and don't waste another minute waiting for the right league to come around. Come talk to us:
Forums
Instructions to Apply for Team Ownership in the MBBA

We currently have one team open, I won't say which one. We might have more opportunities for people to get involved in the alternate leagues that will be associated in our universe. Really I'm looking for one person to get involved, but if I get 50, then I'll find something for each and every one of you.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Cliche · 10-17-2006, 04:06 PM

This is a prime opportunity for an active GM.

You get an elaborate and well-balanced league with friendly and competitive GMs, with plenty of forum activity and timely sims.

Not to mention that you're getting a pretty solid team, as well.

mikev · 10-17-2006, 04:25 PM

From the Channel Five News Team to TV Stars. From professional wrestlers to Doogie Howser. Or, uh... this Doogie Howser.

We have a Widomaker, a Toothbreaker, a Headhunter, and even a Resurrection.

The MBBA is a league with an awesome group of owners who are all huge dorks that love fake online baseball. We laugh, we cry, we make fun of each others moms (and Ron's Hermione lookalike wife).

It's a good time, and the only league you'll want to be in after you join.

Oh, and any league that has its very own Stunt Bum is worth checking out.

mikev · 10-18-2006, 03:39 PM

I find it hard to believe that nobody checked out the league.

Free Agency is about to begin, 7 picks have been made in the 1st round of the draft. It's really a perfect time to get in.

Recte44 · 10-18-2006, 08:59 PM

We actually did have a few people check out the league, even register. That being said, I'm going to keep this opening for another day or two.

The team open is the Hawaii Tropics.

They have a lot to be excited about, actually. They barely missed the playoffs last season, and have some decent players that would garner some big interest on the trade market if that's the way the new owner wanted to go. They aren't in the best of financial shape, so would probably require a re-tool.

Come see us!

Recte44 · 10-19-2006, 09:43 AM

Friendly morning bump.

Recte44 · 10-19-2006, 11:49 PM

We've had a couple good applicants for the Hawaii post but there is still some time before a decision is made.

Also, if you want to get in early on being a part of the MBBA before we switch to 2006 and become a larger universe in a couple weeks, act now!
