One of the OOTP community's longer running leagues, The RLPA, has a few openings in it's latest incarnation, The Preboot. RLPA is in it's 12th year simming after starting with a group of associates brought together at Baseball Think Factory. Our website and forum is located at www.rlpa.org

RLPA Preboot is a historical league based on the model of our highly successful RLPA Classic (2005-2031) and RLPA Reboot (1985-2012). The Preboot start with the 1962 and contains all 20 real-life teams. We do not use managers, personnel or scouting. I've redone all the player hitting, pitching and fielding ratings to make sure that they are realistic. We have not altered the game-generated personality or injury ratings. Also, the league will have the normal average rating of 100 for talent changes, so it is possible that players will have the normal type of career changes, like Reggie Jackson might fall apart and that Reggie Otero will become a star.

CURRENTLY, we are looking for three expansion owners (or possibly two expansion owners and one owner for the Atlanta Braves). Before the start of the 1977 season, expansion teams will draft 20 players from the existing 20 teams. New expansion owners can chose one of the following franchises as their new teams: Kansas City Royals (AL-DH), Toronto Blue Jays (AL-DH), Seattle Mariners (AL-DH), Texas Rangers (AL), Milwaukee Brewers (either AL), Montreal Expos (NL-No DH).

You can take a look at our website at www.RLPA.org

We think that you will really enjoy our community. You might also consider taking one the existing available teams in our long-running hybrid fictional league, RLPA Preboot

Hope to hear from you or see you on the RLPA forums,
