Historically one of HBD's top ranked worlds, we currently have three open teams. Capra offers tough competition and a strong balance. All teams must win 120 games every two seasons or face removal. No max on IFA/prospect monies. We also field an active board (myself, vikesxv, sjstapleton, mnnorthstars, jrnyfan01) that considers/reviews league concerns.

Potential owners will be screened to ensure integrity.

Rollover happened Friday. Open teams below.

Interested parties should send a sitemail to rls1.

Join Capra

Capra is a terrific league with knowledgeable and competitive owners, no drama, quick rolls….all that an HBD league should be.

And Buzz Capra was a hell of a pitcher for the Braves back in ‘74.

Join up. Do it for Buzz!

mebbe we should consider changing the name to Vincent James "Vinny" Capra?

Interesting! Naming a league for a guy who has a career .105-.170-.163 batting line has a unique flavor to it.

I’m in! Love me some “It Happened One Night,” “Mr Smith Goes to Washington,” and “It’s a Wonderful Life”

How about the “Frank Capra, It’s a Wonderful League” league?

Holy snot, I have The Tao of Physics! It’s one of my favorite books ever. Read it a millennium ago in some college class. Have reread it several times! Same old copy. It’s pretty dog-eared and ragged now. Just took it down off one of the book shelves. I won’t tell you how long I’ve had it.

I had forgotten that a Capra was the author!!

The Tao of Capra League has a nice multi-continental ring to it!

I believe #3 is an AI hallucination. Francesco Capra does not exist.

Is Francesco Capra the name of the umpire that Leslie Nielsen impersonates in the Naked Gun?

anthonybenet,

I believe you are correct! No record I can find.

Heck, since this is fakerealfake baseball…..naming it for a fake physicist makes sense.

Man, you folks looking for a new league to jump into are missing out. Capra is where it’s at. Available teams are in pretty good shape with recent histories of division championships or dominance and we’re just a slick league.

This will be my 61st season in Capra and we have a core group who has been there longer than me….several are originals. This is a steady, classy league with no stupid stuff and high competitiveness.

If you join up, you will stay.

I'm new to Capra and already enjoying the activity in this world. If you are looking for a FUN world to join that also is competitive you've found it. Sitemail rls1 to start playing!
