I'm back!!! - Century Baseball League

HFBL · 01-17-2007, 10:47 PM

Well, I’m finally going to do it. It has been a couple years since I ran baseball leagues, but prior to that I ran them for several years. Who can forget the original Field of Dreams Baseball League which mixed current rosters and added throwback players from the past in Amateur Drafts. Who can forget Hall of Fame Baseball League starting in 1901. Who can forget the 48 seasons of the original Century Baseball League! With Baseball Season just around the corner, I thought this would be a great opportunity to get started back up. I started simming back before OOTP with Front Page Sports: Baseball.
