Since back in June when you abandoned your fantasy baseball team because it was totally sucking and you returned to your cubbyhole of Doritos and Freezer Pops, you’ve longed for this day. As Bob Marley sang, this is your redemption song, mon. Or womon. It’s time again to join some fantasy baseball leagues. Before you close all of your extraneous porn windows and rush to sign up, let’s explain how these fantasy baseball leagues are going to work. We’re going to have a bunch of leagues and crown a winner from each, then we’re going to crown ONE winner from all of the winners. We will be be crowning the winner by taking each team’s points and multiplying it against a ‘league competitiveness factor.’ If you want to see how it worked last year, go here. So we’re going to fill up as many fantasy leagues as we can for the next couple of weeks. Each fantasy baseball league will be a mixed league, 12 team, Roto, 5×5, 5 OFs, one Middle Infielder, one Corner Infielder, one Utility, 9 pitchers, 20 game eligibility, 180 Games Started. The lineup is also known as: C/1B/2B/SS/3B/CI/MI/5 OF/UTIL/9 P/3 BENCH/1 DL. The fantasy leagues will be played in ESPN and they will be free to join. They are not at Yahoo because they don’t give non-leaguemates the ability to see the leagues.
We’re going to start with nine leagues of 12 and see how we do from there. Each league has an organizer. The duties of the organizer will be to accept 11 other people into the league, set it up at ESPN at the most conducive draft time and during the season post pretty pictures of the league standings. Just choose one organizer from the available RCLs below and contact them. If we don’t get enough to fill 9 leagues, we’ll fold them together like egg whites and sugar. If we need more than 9 fantasy baseball leagues, then we will expand them like egg whites and a beater. If we need more organizers, then we’ll handle that business in the comments of this post. (The number of spots open will be updated by me as I hear from the organizers.)
Now for the BIG prizes! I know, you can hardly wait. This year’s winner will receive an honest to goodness, Louisville Slugger engraved with my signature (or they can get their own signature on there since they would be the winner). They can showcase the baseball bat in their living room, which will probably lead to divorce. Or they can carry the baseball bat around like they’re Joe Clark. Or just play baseball! If that doesn’t get you all goose pimply, I don’t know what will. Wait, I have to run to the bathroom just thinking about it. Okay, back! In addition to the Louisville Slugger, we’re proud to present the 2nd ever Razzball trophy, which will be donated by frequent commenter, Tony. You can see Tony’s work at Claytrophies.com. And here’s the actual winner’s trophy. Okay, sign up:
