My league, the Antiquity League, is a twenty-team league that has been together since 1927 (twelve years and counting!). We have an extremely solid core of owners drawn from a variety of professions and acquaintances. We have had to replace only one owner in the last ten seasons and that was due to his death. We are NOT a fly-by-night group of 19-year olds, but instead we are mostly older professionals. We have owners in their late-20s, many owners in their 30s and 40s and three or so that are in their 50s and 60s. Our league forum is on Facebook but I also send out hand-made group emails after each sim.

The Antiquity League draws from the 26 major league teams in addition to many players that were career minor leaguers (using MLEs for minor leaguers), plus we add about 6 Japanese League players per season. From 1927 to 1957 we were a a DMB league, but we switched to OOTP for the 1958 season. We sim approximately thirty sim days per real-time week and complete approximately four seasons in a calendar year. The league uses three levels of minor leagues, coaches and financials, but not scouting (and only a modified doctors system). The league webpage can be found at The Antiquity League - Home.

The league will be expanding by four teams for the 1987 season. We still need THREE owners who would like to take over expansion teams. Two new franchises will go into a league that uses a Designated Hitter and two will go into a non-DH league. We have already conducted four highly successful expansion draft (2 teams in 1947, 4 teams in 1962, 4 teams in 1969, 2 teams in 1977). Each existing franchise will protect 15 players, plus draftees from the 1984-186 draft classes. No existing team will lose more than eight total players. The four expansion franchises will each claim 30 players from existing franchises and then will draft in the top four spots of the 1987 draft (with some kind of snaking mechanism to make sure that all expansion teams are treated as fairly as possible). New expansion owners are given a good deal of latitude in selecting a home city (best candidates are Dallas, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Phoenix, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Houston, Miami, San Antonio, New Orleans, San Jose, Washington DC), we even have a franchises based in Havana and Portland. There will be one more planned expansion to add four additional teams in the late-1990s (mid-2017)

I take an inordinate amount of care on the Antiquity League and I think that you will be very pleased to be a member of the league.

Thanks for your time and consideration,
