There were separate AL and NL leagues, so crossovers were limited a bit. Twas great fun. I believe it went on-line a couple of years after I left, when everyone finally switched over to the computer game. I lost track, but I believe they also became a fairly extensive head-to-head league. Could still be going. Thanks for reminding me of it.

I think the league I was in only lasted 4 maybe 5 seasons. Studying for the draft became very difficult. You kept players and followed his career year by year so you had to make sure you had no holes in your lineup. Injuries were off, you can only play someone within 10% of his games played.
I don't have any of the records or manager contacts from that game-I always wonder if I am going to bump into one of the members here.
