The "Talkin' Baseball" Progressive League began with the 1950 season.

We are 130 games into the 1957 and will need one new owner for 1958 and beyond.

Don "Big D" Drysdale and Jim Bunning are the headliners on this club.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talkin' Baseball is expanding in 1958

We are now going to be a 16 team league. It's going to be quite challenging.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The expansion draft has taken place. Instead of having existing owners lost star players,
the four expansion teams had the entire 1958 rookie draft to build their teams.

Each existing franchise simply donated a pair of players with at bats  and/or innings to
help fill the new clubs.

The twelve existing teams (which includes the club below) will fill their openings with 
the leftover scrubs in the '58 WIS database.

Looking for a quality sim manager up for a challenging progressive.
