Exclamation PBAL - Premier Baseball League Enters 26th Season



The PBA is in the year 2044 and in the middle of our 26th Season begins the search for a new GM.
A fast paced league, running close to 5 seasons within a calendar year.

If you're looking for STABLE, COMPETITVE, and REALISTIC baseball experience, we are very interested in hearing from you.
Here's the skinny for the TL;DR:
Financially Stable league where revenue sharing percentage was 2% after the 2043 season
A realistic competitive environment with MULTIPLE playoff spots open in the final 14 games of the regular season
We offer a stable environment - your time won't be wasted by another fly-by-night league that folds
High level of activity - 22 consecutive seasons of > 85% export rate
With a PR's, sportsbook and pod casts that for more GM involvement

We're a league of 24 teams, but have 0 franchise opening(s) (details below):
