WPORBL-74 and WPORBL-94 Retro League Openings

WPORBL-74 and WPORBL-94 Openings
Three fun, slower-paced, retro leagues have a few openings. If you enjoy savoring each season to its fullest and appreciate more time to be involved (i.e. turning off your computer for a week does not cost you half or a full season), with developing your franchise and seeing some of your favorites from the past (or learn an era you are less familiar with), the WPORBL leagues could be a great fit. The 74 and 94 leagues are both over 3 years old and plan to be around as long as the game (and I) continue to exist. The 55 league recently started its second season, 1956. It has been a great start to living through a much different brand of baseball and franchise management.
WPORBL-74 Into May of the 1980 season, our seventh, and will migrate to OOTP26 after the World Series.
WPORBL-94 About to start the 1999 World Series to end the decade - migrating to OOTP26 after the World Series (in 5-9 days).
WPORBL-55 is in mid-August 1956, and will migrate to OOTP26 after the World Series.
