WPORBL-74 & WPORBL-94 Immediate Openings
Two fun, slower-paced, retro leagues have a few openings. If you enjoy savoring each season to its fullest and appreciate more time to be involved (i.e. turning off your computer for a week does not cost you half or a full season), with developing your team and seeing some of your favorites from the past (or learn an era you are less familiar with), the WPORBL leagues could be a fit.

WPORBL-74 just began the 1978 LCS and is migrating to OOTP25 at the end of the World Series in about 2 weeks

WPORBL-94 is a week into 1998 Spring Training, our 5th season. Teams are starting to evolve from reality, roster-wise, adding a ton of fun an what-if scenarios for those of us who relished that era.
