This is the fictional story of a women's save I've started in OOTP23 for eventual import into OOTP24. It's wild to me that I'd never done this before, but I'm already immersed into this league just a decade into seeing the small league emerge and personalities and names develop. I didn't spend as much time tinkering with it as I normally would, meaning there's been more player movement than I would've liked initially, but overall, it's a fun universe to play around in.

I'm using this dynasty report solely as a place to report out from the league, tell stories, highlight notable players and such alike. It won't be every detail from the league at all, just whatever I want to amplify.

The league began with 8 teams in 1962, expanded to 10 teams in 1966 and is now at 12 teams after another expansion in 1974.

The early years of MLWB saw the Québec Carnavals establish themselves as a dominant force. They won the championship in 1962, boasting a league ERA of 4.07, outperforming the league average of .290. They continued their success in 1963 with another championship title and an impressive league ERA of 4.05, outperforming the league average of .283.

In 1964, the Portland Rosebuds rose to prominence, capturing the championship with a league ERA of 3.45, significantly below the league average of .259. The Québec Carnavals reclaimed the title in 1965, showcasing their pitching prowess with a league ERA of 3.79, outperforming the league average of .274.

The Jacksonville Sharks made their mark in 1966, becoming champions with a league ERA of 3.99, below the league average of .255. The Québec Carnavals reclaimed the championship in 1967, recording a league ERA of 3.82, outperforming the league average of .248.

The Boston Battalion had a triumphant season in 1968, securing the championship title with a league ERA of 4.53, above the league average of .266. The Québec Carnavals continued to dominate in 1969 and 1970, capturing consecutive championships with impressive league ERAs of 4.43 and 4.28, respectively, outperforming the league averages of .262 and .259.

In 1971, the Rockford Hot Rods emerged as champions, showcasing a league ERA of 3.95, below the league average of .253. The Boston Battalion claimed the title once again in 1972, recording a league ERA of 4.17, slightly above the league average of .269.

The Long Beach Titans had a standout season in 1973, securing the championship with a league ERA of 3.67, slightly below the league average of .262. The Rockford Hot Rods continued their success in 1974, capturing another title with a league ERA of 3.85, outperforming the league average of .267.

The Queens Nobles achieved their first championship in 1975, boasting a league ERA of 3.75, below the league average of .259. The Québec Carnavals closed out the MLWB era in 1976, winning their seventh championship with a league ERA of 3.87, above the league average of .270.

Throughout its history, MLWB featured various franchises that experienced different levels of success. The Québec Carnavals were the most dominant team, securing seven championships. The Boston Battalion, Rockford Hot Rods, and Jacksonville Sharks also claimed multiple titles, while other franchises had their moments of triumph.

It is worth noting that the Queens Nobles, previously known as the Orlando Orcas, experienced a significant turnaround after their move to New York in 1971, making the playoffs every year since the relocation.
