ALL THINGS FIGMENT - FROM THE PAGES OF THE FIGMENT SPORTING JOURNAL
Hello all. My name is Jiggs McGee and I am the lead columnist of The Figment Sporting Journal, which has been called the bible of Figment baseball. On the following pages myself and others will regale you with all of the key happenings throughout the Figment world. The universe is dominated, of course, by the great game of baseball that is played at the highest level by the stars of the Federally Aligned Baseball Leagues but we will also talk about the future stars who ply their trade in the minors or the amateur ranks with a focus on the Collegiate and Prep school ranks.
The Figment Universe will also one day soon include other sports besides baseball so we may delve into discussion of those activities as well.
As a background for anyone who is new to Figment you likely want to start by visiting

Figment is an online league with a fairly unique concept and a very active group of contributors. The league is fictional and based in the late 1920's-early 1930s. It is also stats-only so with no visible ratings the team General Manager's must rely on scouting reports and stats to build their organization in to a dynasty. There are several minor leagues featuring both affiliated and unaffiliated teams as well as Figment College universe and high school league league to act as feeder clubs. There are several league and team dedicated dynasty reports available for fans of individual clubs to follow as well as an ongoing story about the first family of Figment sports, the Barrell brothers.
