We currently have two open teams, due to those owners unfortunately having to leave due to time commitments. It's great to have a group of guys who would rather step down than be inactive owners. And that's the kind of people we're looking for here.

Los Angeles Angels

Want to jump right into a pennant race? The Angels trail 1st place Kansas City by just three games, and are right on the heels of the 2nd place Yankees. Their stellar bullpen is leading them to a great season.

Minnesota Twins

Just one game behind the Angels (4 out of first) is the Minnesota Twins, led by their young superstar Tony Oliva.

Please register for our forums (see first post for link) and get in touch with me if you're interested in taking on this fantastic historical league.

This league is a lot of fun. I'm loving OOTP 9 and historical leagues are a great time.

First-place Kansas City Athletics? Only in OOTP!

Recte44 · 07-20-2008, 10:24 PM

After tonights sim, the Angels are in 1st now, followed by the 2nd place Twins just one game back.

I don't think a better scenario exists for two new owners.

aleib · 07-21-2008, 01:22 AM

I'd be interested. I signed up on the forum but it never sent me a confirmation email. If either team is available look me up. I haven't played in an online league since ver 6.5 but would love to get back into a historical league. I might need my hand held for the first export or two until I figure out how its done with the new UI of 9.

GeorgeC5614 · 07-21-2008, 12:08 PM

Registered on the forum. I would be interested in either of the teams but my preference would be the Twins. Thanks

CrimsonFox · 07-21-2008, 05:52 PM

Interested. Will sign up in forum

Recte44 · 07-21-2008, 06:22 PM

Glad to see all the interest. We are now full and on a waiting list again, but don't let that discourage you from signing up. Expansion is in 6 short seasons.

Recte44 · 07-25-2008, 11:02 AM

The offseason is approaching and it looks like there may be a couple openings. Sign up now to be considered for these potential openings!

Recte44 · 07-26-2008, 02:30 PM

Today's bump. I currently have four owners under the PP limits with tomorrow the deadline. With one person on the waiting list, that could mean opportunities for up to three new owners (though in all likelihood it'll probably be just one).

Sign up now. This will also give you priority for the 1969 expansion openings if you don't get a team right away.

Recte44 · 07-27-2008, 03:34 PM

bump

May need a couple interested, active people willing to write and contribute as of tonight.

Recte44 · 07-29-2008, 07:25 PM

The Philadelphia Phillies are now open. Contact me if interested. We're just starting FA and the draft, etc.

Recte44 · 07-30-2008, 12:18 AM

Phillies filled.

Makakilo MooNs · 08-11-2008, 04:56 PM

I spent a short time in ORB 1 (I think I may have helped kill it) and have to say that it was an excellent league with an excellent commish.

I expect this league is probably even better.

Schills · 08-12-2008, 12:59 AM

Do you still have room for teams? I'm looking for a league, I'm an active manager who has played OOTP for some time.... if you have room for a second team, I have a friend who is looking to join a league...

feel free to email me...

Hey gang! Couple of openings just popped up. The Phillies (again, I know) and the Yankees! are now open.

Please register for the forums, and fill out an application under "New Applicants" to be considered. It's the Trade Deadline of 1963, so we're coming up on the playoffs soon.

We also went to a 2 playoff team per league setup this season to make things more interesting.

Come join the fun!

joshuaaaaaa · 08-26-2008, 04:10 PM

This league is much better than Cats. I'll be in it again and again.

Nice retro reference.

Recte44 · 08-26-2008, 09:04 PM

Both teams are filled. Thanks!

Recte44 · 09-02-2008, 09:19 AM

Los Angeles Angels are now open as we're winding down with 1963.
