The Digital Diamonds Baseball League (DDBL) is a historical league that began with the 2005 season. We distributed players via a 23-Round Inaugural Draft on the league message forum. Our web site is still in progress, but you can already tell it is one of the best OOTP sites on the internet.

The premise of this league is to basically combine OOTP and Fantasy Baseball. This league attempts to have the most realistic player pool on the internet. There will be no "fake players" in this league. Furthermore, all Amateur Draft pools will be directly imported using the Lahman database, rather than just having the commissioner guess at ratings (which essentially results in a fake player with a real name).

Please note this is a 22 team league, not a full 30 team league. We figured a new league probably wouldn't be strong enough to support a full 30 owners, so we trimmed 8 teams - the 4 90's expansion teams (Rockies, Marlins, Diamondbacks, Rays), 3 teams in the same city as other teams (Angels, Mets, White Sox), and the only Canadian team (Blue Jays). Eventually, we hope to add these teams via Expansion Drafts once the league is going strong.

If you would like to join, please email digitaldiamondsbaseball@gmail.com with the following information.....

-Your real name
-The date of birth you'd like displayed in the league file
-Your AIM username (if you have one)
-The top 3 preferences of teams you'd like to own

Feel free to email me if you have any questions. We've had an extremely high level of owner participation so far, and you'll see our league has many unique features and members if you look around the web site.
