Mantle World will be rolling into season 26 sometime in a couple of weeks (August 26-28 or so).  Chronologically, it is the second oldest world in all of HBD and will be the first private world to roll to season 26.

Mantle was without a doubt the finest public world in all of HBD for it's first 17 seasons and has since become private, making us one of the finest private worlds in all of HBD. We traditionally have among the lowest turnover from season to season (high of 7, low of zero) of all HBD worlds (public or private), and have had 9 original owners who have been here since day one through our first 25 seasons. We've even had a couple of original owners come back after spending a couple of season away from HBD altogether.

The average tenure of our 32 current owners is 13.8 seasons in Mantle.  This includes 12 owners who have 20+ seasons of commitment to Mantle World.  We've also never had a team repeat as World Series champions through the first 24 seasons.

Mantle is world #5, and consistently sims within minutes of the start of each cycle. You can set your watch by us!

Since turning private, Mantle has adopted the following three rules that all owners are required to abide:

1. There is a four-season rolling minimum win requirement of 55/120/185/260.  Failure to meet this requirement will result in forfeiture of the franchise to a new owner at the end of the season.
2. After the trade deadline has passed, teams may place no more than 7 players on the waiver wire at any one time.  This is to avoid flooding the wire with players in order to try to "sneak" players through after the deadline.  First offense results in a warning.  A second offense will result in forfeiture of the franchise to a new owner at the end of the season.
3. Owners are expected to keep their minor league pitching staffs in good order, i.e. no running chronically fatigued pitching staffs at any level.  An owner in violation of this rule will be given an opportunity to set things straight.  Failure to address or correct the problem within a reasonable amount of time without a valid explanation will result in forfeiture of the franchise to a new owner at the end of the season.

Right now, we have three openings for S26.  If you are interested in being placed on our waitlist, please either post here or send me a sitemail.

One of the best worlds in HBD and Tecwrg is an outstanding commissioner. Blog!!!

This is the world you want in on.

agreed

World Series is underway.    I'm not in it.

One of the best worlds in all of HBD.

You know that, and you want in.

Stop pretending like you don't.

yeah, pretenders

We're going to a game 7 to be played tomorrow morning since sergei seems to be unable to handle a 3-0 WS lead.

This means that we should roll to S26 on Tuesday morning.

We only need one more owner to take our last available team.  So what are you waiting for?  Contact me ASAP.

Sergei pulls out the WSG7 win.

We still need one.

i always pull out. keeps the population down.

We are full but accepting additional owners for the waitlist in case anybody surprises us after rollover.
