What is the Skyline Baseball League?

The SBL is a fictional take on the real-life MLB, with a few differences. The main difference is that the major league is not split up into 2 distinct leagues, but rather 4 regionally aligned divisions.

Because of this, the playoff format is unique; the best 3 teams in each division make the playoffs. Teams 2 and 3 will play a series while the #1 seeds have a bye. Then the winner will play their division's #1. You must make it through your division before you can face teams from other divisions in the playoffs.

The season is 156 game with 12 games against each member in your division and a 3 game series against every other team. There is a North/Atlantic - Central/Pacific All-star game that will take place in July.

The league was founded in 1980 and has operated continuously up until now, 2000. I did this for a few reasons. First, it gives the league an identity right from the start. There is no 30 year old players with no history. Secondly, you can use the history to properly evaluate the league environment. Instead of waiting 5 seasons and several months real-time, you can immediately see how things stack up. Finally, I know the league is stable. Sometimes with new leagues, things don't play out the way you planned. This file has been perfected through trial and error and it's completely ready to go with no changes needed.

If interested, send me a PM with your name, email, and team you would like to manage.

Coaches? Scouting? Inaugural draft?

I am not trying to just poke holes. I am seriously interested, but I want to make sure the league is a good fit for me.

How many levels of minor leagues?

Full Minors. I didn't change anything there except added minor teams for Las Vegas and Montreal, and I evened out the DSL by giving only one team to each organization

No fantasy draft. Kansas City has good specs and a pretty good roster.

Commish has a master copy of the game. He sims one week while you watch via stat+. Then you download the latest file, make any changes and export it.
