The European Baseball League

Germaniac · 05-12-2018, 06:03 AM

Introducing the European Baseball League.

The league concept:

Two teams each from 24 European countries, 3 subleagues with 8 teams each.

The division winners plus one Wild-Card team will go to the play-offs - Wild-Card Series (best-of-seven), League Championship Series (best-of-seven) and the World Series (best-of-seven).

The league logo was created by txranger

The subleagues are the "Magic League" and the "Dynamic League"

The Magic League East has teams from Russia, Turkey, Greece and Poland

I'll post interesting things from this league in this thread, in addition to "When you enter the bottom of the 6th ..."

Poor Ali Bleeker - early in the 1956 season he is ranked second in the league in HR's ... but not quite as high in RBI's

Enjoyed looking at the franchise uni's/caps/logo's.

Just 4 teams to the post-season. Make them earn it, I say.

You need to rename Stockholm the Syndrome.

The first perfect game in season 7 of our short history:

Germaniac · 05-22-2018, 02:33 AM

Here's the boxscore

Germaniac · 05-22-2018, 03:41 AM

Well, my pitching staff struck right back ... three days later we pitched a perfect game, and poor Belgrad, victims of two perfect games in four days

Germaniac · 05-22-2018, 04:28 PM

After losing the perfect game to Lissabon on May 1, the Belgrad Knights beat them 2:1 before losing 6:0, being held to 5 hits ... then came the perfect game of my Palatines ... so their offense is in a real slump right now

stevem810 · 05-22-2018, 05:08 PM

79 pitches = perfection. Quite an outing.

The first of the perfecto's interesting in that it was a lead-off homer and after that virtually no offense to speak of.

If the Knights don't pick it up a notch or two we'll be calling for a name change to the 'Mendoza's' ;-)

Good races going on in the early going of the 1956 season:

Sitting in a coffee shop in Holland, Michigan (my hometown) shortly after the big Tulip Time Festival, I am feeling compelled to pull for those Amsterdam Tulips. Go Tulips! (Hmm, that sounds a little silly now that I say it aloud.

)
