Back in the Day Winter League (Hands-on)

Thought you missed the opportunity to draft and manage a team comprised of the classic players of your youth or your father's youth? The 1970 season was chock full of future hall of fame players like Yaz, Tom Seaver, Jim Palmer, Bob Gibson, Catfish Hunter, Willie Mays, Johnny Bench, Hank Aaron, Willie Stargell, Frank Robinson and Harmon Killebrew, just to name a few. Well, here is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new league that will help pass the time each winter between your regular baseball leagues, as you battle wits with some really great sim owners managing some really great classic players.

The BDWL is planning to have its inaugural draft on or around October 1, 2004, and start the season around November 1, 2004. We intend to have 16 teams (there is one spot open) that will draft rosters from the 1970 season disk and you will be able to protect 12 players each year. If you protect a player (unless you trade the player or the player retires) you will continue to own that player throughout his career as we follow-up next winter with the 1971 season and so on.

Back to the Future Baseball League (Hands-on)

The Back to the Future Baseball League is looking for a dedicated owner to take over a team in its 6th season – draft starts in February. The league is a continuing ownership draft league and currently has 18 teams which are the same 18 Major League franchises from 1961. We have taken the cities, nicknames and stadiums from the early 60's, however, we use today's players. It will be like the "good ol' days", no DH, no artificial turf, no domes, no players in the Majors who should be in the minors. Each team can only protect players from last year that reached 75% usage so those just coming into the league will be able to build their team quickly. There is no hoarding players!!! One established team is available, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and a second team may come available. Our web site is http://www3.sympatico.ca/hableaf - please contact Tony at hableaf@sympatico.ca for more information or complete the application form on the website.

Ball State Sand Lot League (Centralized)

The BSSLL has been in operation since 1998. We are a 24-team, keeper league. We have 40 man rosters and a separate "prospect" draft and roster. We simulate free agency by having players removed from each team every year using the national "powerball lottery" to select the players by a pre-assigned number. This allows us to have players leave for free agency every year at about the same rate as MLB. We pride ourselves on our realistic rules and policies. We use Diamond Mind 9 and the current season disk. Please visit the league web site for more info at http://bssll.tripod.com/ or our mailing list at http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/bssll/

Baseball Is the Perfect Game League (Hands-on)

Want a challenge without the headaches of a salary cap? Join the Baseball is the Perfect Game League. Drafting now, the BPGL is a free 24 team hands-on league with 110% usage restrictions. We will use version 9, play with the most current disk and the season will run with roughly the same schedule as the Major League calendar. The initial draft is going on now, and the bulk of it will be April 3rd by a live Yahoo Chat. Initial draft order will be snaked and the order determined by a random number lottery. We'll play our own away games. There will be no salaries and we will keep only 12 players, but the trick is that they will be protected at the BEGINNING of the season rather than at the end. This ensures a deep rookie pool every spring, allows teams to rebuild quickly and makes it very difficult to build dynasties. Web page is http://users4.ev1.net/~Spanky68/. Contact the commish at Spanky68@ev1.net

Baseball League in Arlington (Hands-on)

Baseball League of the Millenium (Hands-on)

The Baseball League of the Millennium (BLM) is a continuous ownership, hands-on, salary cap driven league founded in 2004, using the 1999 season disk. The BLM is a 20 team league, 2 leagues, 2 divisions in each; the DH will be used in one of the leagues. The BLM will enforce a salary cap, the salaries used will be the real life salaries of the players that were used on the Diamond Mind season disk for that season. Every player's salary will change from year to year based upon their real life change in salary and will cause you to make the dreaded salary cap casualties from year to year, such as those that are made in the NFL, the difference being that every contract is a non-guaranteed one year deal and there will be NO salary cap penalties. Only players who are on your current roster will count against your team cap number. There are no mandatory cuts besides those that are salary cap related. Please e-mail rslietzau@earthlink.net if you are interested in joining or for a copy of the constitution.

Baseball Replay Association (Hands-on)

The 24-team contemporary Baseball Replay Association (BRA) has continually operated since 1979. After launching with Replay Baseball, the BRA switched to PTP in the early 1990s. Membership is stable with three charter members still at the helm. Managers range in age from youngsters in their 30s to senior citizens. Annual roster freezes limit teams to between 15 and 17 players and teams gain rookies from their major league counterpart organizations. Every five years (next in 2005) the teams cut down to between 5 and 10 players thereby discouraging dynasties and giving new managers a shot at contending. The 160-game season runs from March through October at the pace of 20 games per month. "El Presidente" and founder of the BRA is Jack Kohn, patnjack@aol.com. The BRA rules etc. can be viewed at: http://hometown.aol.com/patnjack/myhomepage/club.html

Themes are chosen from existing Classic Past Seasons issued by Diamond Mind as well as from earlier seasons carefully designed and tested by the commissioner. Themes featuring the 1950s (continuing with 1951) and 1930s (1931) will start soon. A 1921 theme will begin in the late Spring. For more information, contact Christopher Williams at cawilli@bgnet.bgsu.edu

This B.U.L.L. (Baseball's Ultimate Leisure League) has a purpose and it's not what you're thinking. B.U.L.L. has been created as an outlet for fans of "the great game" to challenge one another, test their knowledge and in a small way be a part of baseball's wonder.

Diamond Mind version 8 will be the field of play on which the participants will battle in B.U.L.L. We will operate as a centralized league as all games will be played on the commissioner's computer.

B.U.L.L. will be arranged into two Leagues with two divisions in each. The Bush League will be with no designated hitter, while the Texas league will play with the dh rule in effect.

Diamond Mind Baseball Organization (DMBO) is a 30-team league that mirrors major league baseball as closely as possible. We have the same teams as Major League Baseball and use the Diamond Mind projection disk each year in the simulation of the same 162 game schedules as set by MLB.

DMBO started with the 2002 season, with all rosters and payroll being identical to their major league counterparts. From that time, rosters as modified by DMBO GM's have carried over from season to season, with each team having a 25 man active roster, along with a reserve roster of up to 25 players.

Each team has a salary limit, which is based upon franchise success, city size, and several other factors. Heavy revenue sharing is conducted in this league in an effort to help make it more competitive. Free agency is conducted every off-season, with a 3 round amateur draft taking place each June. Non-waiver trades are allowed from November 1st to August 31st, with waiver trades allowed in September. The trading of current and future draft picks, as well as current and future cash, is allowed.

The season is simulated one week at a time, with full reports of player, team, and league statistics posted on the league website. The playoffs consist of the same format as MLB, with simulations taking place one to two games at a time to allow for more lineup adjustments than the regular season.

Dues of $5 are charged to new members, with additional dues required as future league business dictates. For more information on the league, visit our website at http://www.dmbo.us, or send an email to dmbo.email@gmail.com. Currently, we have no openings in the league.

Diamondmind Ultimate Projection League (Hands-on)

The Diamondmind Ultimate Projection League (DUPL) is a unique concept that uses the Diamond Mind projection disk as the basis for a league incorporating both MLB and AAA levels. Managers operate a major league and minor league team on two full levels and schedules, with home and away dates arrayed so that they do not have to manage both teams at the same time. Liberal usage rules allow managers to exploit fully the projected ratings for any player, using them as much or as little as desired, limited only by fatigue, random injuries, and one's imagination. For drafting and organizational purposes, teams are keyed to real life MLB franchises and their AAA affiliates: however, DUPL operates as a draft league. Members must be registered owners of the most current Diamond Mind projection disk. For further information and a copy of the league constitution, please contact Christopher Williams at cawilli@bgnet.bgsu.edu

DTS Baseball League (Centralized)

The DTS Baseball League is about to start its second season. A handful of owner/managers had to give up their team for this new season, and we are therefore seeking to replace them. The league has a unique set of operating characteristics. While we use the 2002 final Disk as our base disk, each team is enhanced with several "All-Time-Great" players from baseball's past and present. A unique drafting system allows you to create your style of team, and to include some of the greatest players in the history of the game on your roster. Yet limits on the number of top quality players for each team also demands that managers use their skills to wring the most out of their lineups.

Out league prides itself on providing a quality experience. The commissioner is dedicated to the league, and provides frequent updates to the web site. Regular game by game analysis, sort of like reading the sports page in the paper, is also made available regularly. Big plays, season milestones, and league rivalries are highlighted through these reports, and the league seems to come alive before your eyes.

The ideal owner/manager will be someone who loves baseball and the challenge of managing a team both from the General Manager or Owner's perspective and also from that of the onfield Manager. Enthusiasm, not experience or expertise in baseball, however, is the key to being a successful participant in our league. This is, afterall, meant to be fun and entertaining, so you don't need to be Casey Stengel or Tony laRussa to participate. What we are really looking for is someone who, if he finds his team 10 games out at the All-Star break, sticks with his team: He tries to improve his chances and strives to remain competitive. If you want to give building and managing a team, and competing with a bunch of guys who like you, love the game of baseball, then this league is for you. Visit our website at http://www.geocities.com/dtsbaseball/home to get a better look at the league. If interested, send e-mail to our commissioner, Dan Parent at dtsbaseball@excite.com.

2. To try to improve the team performances of our real life counterparts.
3. To make some friendships with other baseball history enthusiasts.

The highest honors, the "Earl Weaver" award and the "Sparky Anderson" award will go to the managers who most improve the record of the team they manage, not the ones who win the World Series (although there are awards for that too).

We have been replaying DMB's oldest available season, 1927, as our first replay and are just about ready to start the 1928 season next! Match wits with other baseball "historians" and experience some of baseball's exciting past. Check out the Historical Replay League website for more info: http://www.geocities.com/hrl1927/index.htm or email Steve at MilBrave53@cs.com

Independence League (Hands-on)

About to begin our third season, the Independence League is a DMB v9 hands-on league with a group of committed and reliable managers. We will be playing with the 2005 season disk. We are an in-season league with a 20 team format using actual MLB teams. We began the league with the actual 2003 rosters and since then, the teams have been free to trade players, draft picks, pokemon cards, fashion tips or hotdog salesmen. However, each and every season they inherit their actual franchises' rookies with the rest going into a five round draft. Currently we are full, however, we are always looking for reliable managers who are interested in being placed on our waiting list. Mail the commissioner, Mark Wynne, for more information at: Rimfisher@aol.com or visit our web site at http://hometown.aol.co.uk/rimfisher/indyleague.html for our constitution and more information.

International Internet Baseball League (Hands-on)

International Internet Baseball League (IIBL) has openings for its 15th season, starting with the draft in January 2006. The 26 team league has members all over the world, in 8 time zones, playing a sequential 50 period, 162 game schedule two series a week through early August. We adhere to deadlines giving memebers time to reqcquaint themselves with their family, watch the MLB playoffs, or even (horrors!) play some fantasy fotball.

We have had six World Series champions in the last seven years, and there is an active trading community. To encourage parity, we've cut down on the ability for teams to dump players for draft picks, and aim to have each team competitive.

We have an extensize web site detailing the history of each franchise, extensive stats are available and there are frank trade critiques. We can be brutal if you've made a bad trade. If you are interested, please contact Albert Stein at acstein@atlas.co.uk. Our web page is at http://www.iibl.net.

International League of Digital Baseball Clubs (Centralized)

The Digital League brings together all-time greats, hometown heros, and also-rans from 1893 to the present. Games are run in the Office of the Commissioner (his PC is in the Netherlands) and results made available on the league site as owners compete to reach the Digital Series and win the prestigious Champions Cap.

If you're interested in joining club owners from throughout the US, as well as Canada, Cuba, and Europe, visit our site at http://dbl.unitedleagues.net/ to see if the DBL offers what you're looking for in a simulation league. Requests for more information regarding the league and available openings can be sent to Commissioner Atticus Ryan (dbl@unitedleagues.net).

Internet Simulated Baseball League (Hands-on)

The Internet Simulated Baseball League (ISBL) is now in its 12th season, with 28 teams using Version 9 and the 2005 season disk. The league features "Eurostyle" two-tier play, with our FTF (NetPlay) Class teams and our MP (Profile Swap) Class teams divided into Senior and Junior Circuits. There's a World Series in each circuit, and yearly promotion and relegation within each class, as well as postseason cup play involving all 28 teams. If that's not enough, we also have a dynamic economic system and a yearly free-agent auction that will test your GM abilities to the fullest.

If you're looking for a league where you can bulldoze your way through to the championship for the next half-dozen years, this league is not for you. But if you're looking to truly test your mettle as a manager and GM, then the ISBL is where you should be. League ownership is very stable, but we do maintain a waiting list of prospective owners. Get on it.

International Replay Baseball League (IRBL) (Hands-on)

The IRBL, playing its 33rd season in 2006, is a 30 team draft league. Managers download series results and bi-weekly newsletters from the IRBL Internet web site and send series results via Internet email.

To simplify playing IRBL series using the DMB game and to simplify distribution (and viewing) of IRBL Newsletters, IRBL documents, DMB player files and series results, the 'IRBL Menu Program' was designed. Through the use of this program, all the scoresheets, boxscores, series totals and export files for each series are all combined into one unique file for easy transfer to the League Office. Each manager receives a series total text file for each road series so the scoresheets, boxscores and series statistics can easily be reviewed.

KuKu Baseball League (Centralized)

The KuKu Baseball League (KKBL) is an 18-team continuous ownership draft league beginning in 2005. Dues are $25.00. We are looking for owners who want to get in on the ground floor of an exciting league. Ideally we would like people who are knowledgeable, competitive, active and friendly. The league has a database on the website, which will automate many tasks and provide a quick reference for owners interested in reviewing players and potential trades. The season runs from April through October. The league draft takes place in January and the minor league draft (developmental rosters) in July. Additional information can be found on the league's website: http://www.kuku-bl.com or email the Commish at: commish@kuku-bl.com.

Las Virtual Baseball Association (Hands-On)

The Las Virtual Baseball Association (LVBA) is a netplay only, 6 team draft league. We use version 9 and the current season disk. We play year round. We will be adding 2 teams after this season (around Nov/Dec) and we have 2 long-time managers leaving after this season. Our rules are simple and geared more to playing the game and having fun. Our website address is http://www.lasvirtualbaseball.com. Please email Wayne Unger at baseballheadny@verizon.net for more information about the league and our upcoming openings.

League of Champions (Centralized)

The League of champions (LOC) is an ultra competitive league that was founded in 1988. We use the most recently completed MLB season and recreate it. We have an American League and a National League, 24 teams, a message board, a stat-sorting web page, and a bunch of fun twenty- and thirty-something managers. We keep 13 players from season to season, and I do all the work. You draft and set the lineups and make trades. You choose from the MLB stadium models (but rename them), can create team logos and everything. No fees are required ever.

I currently have no manager openings, but they do show up from year to year. Send me email at loc@unitedleagues.net if you want to be on the waiting list. This league is a lot of fun, although people know what they are doing! Experienced managers only, please.

League of Leagues Baseball (Hands-on)

League of Leagues Baseball (LOLB) completed it's 22nd season in 2005, preparing for the 23rd in 2006. We originally started out with Strat-O-Matic, but converted to Pursue The Pennant in 1993 and later to Diamond Mind Baseball. The league has 16 teams and no openings, expanding to that number in 2003 and with no plans to expand further for a while. We play version 9 and will play that version for the entire 2006 season. Our season usually starts around the final Monday in March and goes for a 162 game schedule (in 4 divisions) until October when playoff occur. 8 teams qualify for the post-season and we are usually complete by the first week in November at the latest. Our annual Board of Governors meeting in late November/December discusses any rules or other factors that might or have affected the league. Once the disk is received in early December, the rosters are issued and the draft begins, going through 10 rounds and finishing around March 1st. After a few weeks of simulated seasons, we set it up for the real thing and start all over again. The commissioner plays all the games on his computer. The owners either play their respective teams on the commissioner's computer or they send in profiles and the computer plays their games. The league has been very successful and we anticipate it lasting for many more years. Prospective owners interested in joining should contact Commissioner Scott Gemmill at Smoothup3@yahoo.com

Legends of Baseball League (Centralized)

The Legends of Baseball League uses DMB Version 9and began play back in 1994 as a two team league. It has grown immensely with owners that come from all over the globe. The Legends of Baseball League plays a 162 game schedule from April through October with two separate leagues (Cartwright and Doubleday). Prizes are awarded to the World Series and League champion. But what sets this league apart from all others is that all players from 1871-present are eligible to be drafted including several selected Negro Leaguers created by an expert panel from SABR. Every DMB disk is owned by the league including the newly created Historical Park Database. The LOB draft is also unique in that it occurs online over the course of two months. There are no franchise players and no player may be drafted more than once so there is only one Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, etc. We have 40-man rosters, weekly changes, and a web site which houses daily updates to every team. Legends of Baseball is located at http://www.thelegendsofsports.com and while no openings exist at this point you can contact me at NAntoine@gtw.net to reserve your spot for the 2005 season. There is no other league in the world quite like Legends. Legends also offers era specific leagues such as the 19th centruy or the Deadball era using DMB software. This is a class league looking for class owners. We have several owners who have been in the league over 5 years and are always looking for the sophisticated and intelligent baseball fan.

Lemonwood Fantasy Baseball League (Centralized)

The LFBL is a 13 team league played on the commissioner's computer. We play our season during the Christmas season when everyone is available so we really appreciate the way DMB8 accurately and quickly runs a season. We have been organized since 1991 and started using DMB7 in 1998. There are no openings currently, but please drop by the website at http://www.geocities.com/comogatas

Let's Play 2 Baseball League (Centralized)

Two games a day. Two seasons a year! The Let's Play 2 Baseball League began in 1999: playing 2 seasons each calender year using he current DMB season disk: an "A: and "B" season. Entering 2004, we will be playing our 9th and 10th seasons! We have a very active ownership of 12 teams. We play YEAR-ROUND - except for our short-lived offseason which is Thanksgiving until January 1st. One of the most unique aspects of our great league, not including the year round play and the great fellowship of the owners, is that each team has 3 Hall-of-Famers! These players have established rules regarding how long they can play, as well as what years can be used. Drop by and check out our League webpage - http://www.geocities.com/lp2simbaseball. We are always looking for great GM's to be placed on our waiting list, as well as anyone who would like to become part of our league as an "unbiased" league reporter! We also keep tons of stats as well as league records! Stop on by! If you like it, let me know! Desabends2@aol.com

Let's Play 2 Total Insanity Independant League (Centralized)

Are you looking for a league without the big stars and the big contracts? Are you looking for a league that's not going to take up all of your time? If you answered "yes" to these two questions, this might be the league for you. The Independent League will have a very unique player scope, minus over 500 of the "top" major league baseball players. It will also use the DMB auto-draft function for yearly drafts (15 keepers), to limit time-consuming, unorganized league drafts.

Why this set-up? The Independent League set-up gives an owner a unique perspective on managing/running a team, a team which will undoubtedly be void of the common household names and stars. It gives an owner the feel of running a real-life independent/minor league team. It will give the league that "old-time" feeling, when baseball was just a game and the players were just that, players. It allows some of the unknowns to become stars and some aging vets a chance to continue playing the great game. The leaderboards will be filled with the "John Doe's" of the baseball world, not the A-Rod's and Pedro's. This will definitely not be your normal league and, chances are, it's the only one of its kind. It also has a few more twists that you can read about by visiting the web page. It's "parent" league, the Lp2, is an established league, with quality owners. Season will be run yearly, from June/July through Nov/Dec. For more information: http://www.geocities.com/lp2_independant/
