Draft Soon --

We need Two New Owners for Double Progressive going into its 57th season: 1957/2017.

We are a Twenty Team Double Progressive, with DH in both leagues (starting this season), and a good mix of veteran and newer owners. All owners left on good terms, but it is time to move on!

One league rule is AAA is for Catchers only. Otherwise standard rules, trades are encouraged -- it is a bit of a hitters league, so pitching is at a premium. League started in 1901/1961. Also as we approach the current season (we are 1957/2017) plan is to go from eg 1964/2024 to 1905/1965 - but owners can be involved with this plan. Just so you know there is a plan underway!

Teams are listed below - sitemail me or post any interest. Once we get the two owners in then the draft can start.
