We have two owners leaving, however one of the franchises has already been claimed. Now that the WS is over it's time to fill our last opening to start season 73. We only have one AL team available which will make for a short rollover and limit the amount of time you'll have to join us. Here is a brief review of the teams that will be looking for a new owner:

Former Salt Lake City Franchise (74-88, 2^nd Pl) - Filled

A fill in owner jumped in when the team was abandoned. The team wasn’t strong, but it wasn’t completely devoid of talent. The team has struggled for almost all of the last 8 seasons since a very successful long time owner left. Offensively this group was very solid with a .268 avg, 263 HRs, and 827 runs scored. Hugh Stanley (41, 86, .311) & Vladimir Sierra (42, 114, .274) drive the team’s production, yet there are others offering solid support. With over 80 unearned runs allowed, the defense needs to be addressed.

With a shaky defense behind them the pitching staff struggled mightily with a team ERA in above 4.70. In an anomaly that I’ve never seen before, two RP’s posted 20 wins (Raphael Sojo 20-8, 4.09 ERA & Miguel Vasquez 20-15, 4.34). In another strange move, only 4 players started games with three of them accounting for 147 starts.

The new owner should see how the defense can be improved while not weakening a very productive offense. Of possibly more importance will be upgrading the pitching staff with at least a couple of starting pitchers and possibly even more relief pitchers to get the hurlers more in line with the success of the hitters.

This team would be an excellent project for an experienced owner that can evaluate how to improve the defense and bring in pitching upgrades. A newbie could possibly handle this team, focusing on the pitching staff as they learn the game and figure out how to build a balanced team.

Former Madison Franchise (50-112, 4^th Pl) - Filled

A four-year slide culminated in a miss of the MWR forcing the removal of the owner. A .254 avg is below the league avg, 623 runs scored won’t leave much of a margin of error for a pitching staff, and 183 HRs doesn’t show an abundance of power. Wholesale changes will be needed to bring this team up to the level of those competing for a playoff spot.

The pitchers are equally responsible for this team’s struggles. The team ERA was uncomfortably close to 6.00, six hurlers had double-digit losses including all five starters, and 21 blown saves showed problems throughout the staff.

This will be a full rebuild with none of the ML roster looking like they can be salvaged. A vet or newbie would be able to handle the reins of this franchise. A vet that likes to tear down and build over will find this to be a challenge to their liking. A newbie would have the freedom to make mistakes without it drastically hurting the team.

So, take a look and let me know which of these franchises will fit the bill of a team you’d like to recreate.

A very stable group that make it easy on a Commish. We continue to add some of the top owners in HBD as we strive to have top notch competition and it's a fun group with tons of baseball knowledge. And then there is torrone, who's in a category all his own.

The WS teams are set. It's time to start grabbing a team as we prepare for the battle in the coming season. Select now so you aren't left out in the cold.

A battle of longtime rivals has been renewed in the WS as the current owners have re-established the league supremacy to again fight it out for the WS trophy. A 1-0 no-hitter in Game 1 shows how evenly matched these teams are. Do you have the talent to take on one of our open teams to build a club worthy of a similar battle for the next WS Trophy. Your opportunity will only be available for a very short time so it's time to reach out and select the team you think will lead you to the top of the hill. Contact me today!

Only one team left to complete our group. Time is dwindling and opportunities to join this fantastic group. Take a look and reach out now if you'd like to be considered for one of the top worlds in HBD. Two games into the WS, looks like we will roll Monday or Tuesday so this may be your last shot to join this season. He, who hesitates is lost. No time to hesitate.

5 games into the WS, Arizona is holding a 3 - 2 lead over Boise. Will the next game end Season 72 or can Boise extend it to a 7th game and possibly hoist the trophy? This will be determined quickly as will the roll over to the new season. One of the open teams has been claimed leaving only one chance for you to join us for Season 73. This long time world has been amongst the best for a long time and if you look at the names of the owners and their records you'll see many very successful people. Why join one of the rest, when you can join the best? Contact me quickly!

We have a champion. Arizona defeats Boise in a tough 6 game series. Two seasons after taking control of the Arizona franchise, quantum picks up a WS trophy. Do you have what it takes to dethrone our champ? No time like the present to see if your skills are ready for that type of challenge. We have one to fill before we begin again. Reach out to me quickly so you don't lose the opportunity to join our gang of Addicted Users.

The issues with the programming glitch will most likely cause a brief delay in our roll. While this is unfortunate, it's not catastrophic. So, you have a bit more time to contact me with a request to take over the lone team open. As stated above it's in the AL and can be tweaked to win quickly. Send me a message so that you'll be assigned the team when we roll or regret your indecision and wait until the following season. Your choice.

Reaching out to Admin to see if the schedule for our roll has been moved or if it continues to be tomorrow.

Should be rolling tomorrow with only one team looking for an owner. Join now!
