World Baseball Hierarchy (WBH)
 

Want something a bit different in a fictional league? The World Baseball Hierarchy (WBH) is a long-running promotion/relegation league with a unique structure based on the 2006 World Baseball Classic. It's a promotion/relegation structure in a hierarchy; play in one of 7 country leagues, trying to fight your way to the top (winning the USA Championship). We've got 48 seasons under our belt, and we expect to go for many years to come.

We are finishing up the 2053 playoffs this weekend (July 20) and converting to OOTP 19 after the sim.
