Riley really is HBD's greatest world. The world has been around for a long time (as we begin our 40th season). Long-term owners, with very low turnover. Owners are very invested, not only in their teams, but in the health of the league. Thus, players are frequently elected into the HOF (with high owner voting), and trade rape is effectively vetoed. Super-low drama.
Not that I want the extra competition, but one of the openings (which is in my division, the AL East) is for a highly competitive team that won our division year after year after year until this past year; it also won a WS title only a few seasons ago. This is a great team, in a competitive division.
