We invite you to join the Schmidt Family for Season 30. After all, a man who doesn't join Schmidt isn't really a man at all...

Schmidt is a world of tradition. A world of quality.

We believe in America. We believe in opportunity. We believe in simulated baseball.

Schmidt has opportunities for entry and advancement in our storied organization: FIVE open franchises that need your quality leadership, R-E-S-P-E-C-T, vision, ambition, good humor, sobriety (optional), wisdom, fealty, love, and stick-to-it-iveness.

For season 30, we also offer an incentive for new GMs: enjoy a $5 gift certificate for your first season in Schmidt.

We're not so heavy-handed as to say this is "an offer you can't refuse," but a smart consiglieri would counsel you it's in your best interests to accept.


AVAILABLE FRANCHISES:

NL East: formerly Boston (CLAIMED)

AL West: formerly Salt Lake City (CLAIMED)

AL North: formerly Detroit

NL North: formerly New York (CLAIMED)

A little bit about Schmidt...

• Of all HBD worlds, Schmidt might have the deepest roster of skilled owners who have won 1 or several world series titles. This is a very good world for swapping strategies, polishing skills and testing your stuff against quality competition.

• With skilled owners nurturing franchises for long periods, it's not surprising that Schmidt has several excellent dynasties. Still, there is good competitive parity in the world overall. For example, eight different franchises have won a World Series title in the last 17 seasons.

• Inexperienced owners are welcome. Our veteran owners have historically been very generous with advice and coaching, but we also recommend new owners refrain from trades for the first season as they learn the ropes.

• We have a minimum win requirement (MWR) to discourage tanking. Fall below the threshold (120 wins over 2 seasons) and a 5-member committee reviews the case and recommends either dismissal or probation. That 120 win threshold for 2 seasons is generally pretty easy to meet, even if you're trying to exit a few veteran contracts and pursue prospects.

• Highest priorities are good humor and minimal drama.

• Select a franchise, kiss the ring, and get ready to enjoy simulated baseball in (arguably) the most collegial, fun, and talented community of owners in Hardball.


We look forward to hearing from you! You may post below or sitemail the commish (me).

Good selection of teams ,fun league not for the faint of heart. If you know what you are doing you can jump in and wheel and deal. League has the most traders you will ever find but watch out or you will be standing outside in the cold in your underwear.

Looks like were down to 2-3 teams left. Here is your chance to land in a super strong league with committed ownership and not just in a mental way.Of course that helps.
