League Origin Story
The year was 2007, and America was starved for it’s National Pastime. The PED Scandal and greed on all fronts broke the nations trust in Major League Baseball, and an Institution of well over 100 years folded up shop and closed their doors. In came John Rodriguez, Sr and a group of wise business men who brought baseball back to the forefront – eschewing the big city lights and bringing the game back to the people.
It's hard to believe that was over 15 years ago.
Since they opened their doors, the PEBA has had it’s share of controversy and tragedy; dynasty and Cinderella. It’s the home to ‘Fireworks’, ‘Tugboat’, ‘El Chupacabra’ and ‘Moon Dog’. It is a shared dynasty of 32 like-minded souls who have crafted an universe – a PEBAverse, like none other – and now you can become part of that legend.
What We're Like

League Structure
32 human teams with 4 minor league affiliates each, plus 4 feeders.
Extended PEBAverse
4 independent AI leagues.
Playoff Structure
12 teams make the playoffs (3 division winners and 3 wild cards)
Top two seeds in each league receive a first round bye.
Wild Card round is best of 5; divisional, league championship, and Rodriguez Cup each best of 7.

The PEBA is a unique participation-based league – we pride ourselves with quality writing that not only covers the game, but takes us out of the dugout and, at times, into the sublime. Two sims a week means we move fast enough to enjoy ourselves, but give you enough breathing space to explore the depths of your team. No where else do you find a GM running his club from a mental hospital, a team broadcaster heading to a foreign land to rekindle his game – only to be hunted for drug smuggling, or a pair of buddies heading out on the road to visit every ball park – and ending up becoming a real life published book! We use a Contribution Points reward system that allows members to make teams their own – be it through ballpark adjustments, sending players to winter ball to ‘hone their skills’, or simply giving your favorite player a nickname – Just ask Michel ‘Train Arollin’’ Provost about that!
Our goal is to produce an environment that reflects realism. We play with Coaching and Scouting ON. Make personnel decisions that matter and prepare for the "fog of war" when judging prospects! It will be your skill and keen eye for talent that will separate you from the pack. Every GM has to rely on his scout’s opinion and his own gut feeling – everyone has their own opinion about a player – no cookie-cutter ratings here! Do you like to trade? Our bustling trade environment shows that if you can't swing a trade here, you can't swing a trade anywhere!
As part of our participation concept, we conduct our winter meetings and amateur draft live in our unique chat room. Shoot the breeze with your fellow GMs or lay the groundwork for that blockbuster deal.
We have been fortunate to attract a quality group of friendly owners – a stable core group that has been together long enough to create an extremely rewarding environment, and now you can find out why for yourself!
We're always interested in getting to know more like-minded individuals with an interest in joining in our fun and would love to hear from you.

Great league, been in it for many real life years. Some truly talented authors create really high end writing in this league. We also have very talented GMs and some cool live events throughout the season.

Highly recommend if you like a little slower pace, giving you time to enjoy the finer details of your team.

Can't recommend this league highly enough, I'm very prone to flit through the leagues as I have a short attention span but I've been a member of the PEBA since 2011 and am just about to enter spring training of my 10th game season.

Sure it moves slow but that enables you to appreciate all the PEBAverse has to offer. The pace enables plenty of creative writing & reading as you get immersed into the universe. Don't just believe me, take a look at our forums - with over 93,000 posts there's a fair bit for you to catch up on ...

This is an excellent league with some tremendous GM's. If you've ever had concerns about getting immersed in a fictional league, the regular writing and discussions in this one really pull you in.
