by Cliche The amateur draft is one of the more popular events in the MBBA, especially if your team happens to stink. I've decided to take a look back at the 19 first overall selections since the league began, beginning all the way back in 1974. Today I'll cover '74 to '77. 1974 - CF George Kobayashi...

July 2003: Accusations of Cheating! In July of 2003, this thread was on the OOTP Developments Forums. Basically, an owner in the league pointed out a potentially questionable trade that Fitterer was involved in. Further digging through the league by the great members of the OOTP Forums found that th...

Yes, this is a preview of the awesome writing style that is Bisbo's.

by Eric Hoffmeister, Montreal GM after a playoff loss I don't care what Martin and his fancy ass fucking mouth spew out but I get screwed over yet again by the game engine. It must read in my exports as a special instruction: Make sure that this team loses in the playoffs. It doesn't matter if I hav...

by Brian the Stunt Bum It's almost 5 AM and sleep is not coming. I've tried, believe me I've tried. I even tried my dear old grandma's recipe of a ton of scotch, but nothing at this point. So I have decided to look at the league and decide what's wrong with every team. My goal is two fold, to analyz...

The Everett family reunion last weekend was not unlike any other. There was much gossipping over potato salad and three-bean casserole, as four generations of the proud Virginia family gathered to learn what was up. Gramma Mimma had turned 100 year past, Vicky had finally gotten married, and little ...

by Brian the Stunt Bum So, it has come to my attention that plenty of people have never heard the true story of the ageless wonder, Jack Kelly. This is not surprising, the man is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, but doing my research, I have decided to cobble together what little is known about him. ...

Well, a few seasons back I met up with a pair of hungry young ball players and talked to them about their experience in the MBBA. One, Dave Whipple had an excellent rookie year and looked poised for big things before he got sat down and had to play behind Rod Carew. The other, Tommy Shelton is still...

by Brian the Stunt Bum A sit down with two midlevel prospects When I discovered Tom Shelton and Dave Whipple, it was certainly one of my better finds. Not from a baseball standpoint mind you. Sure they are both ok, but nothing special. No, I mean from a media standpoint, I knew right away I could wr...

I thought it would be a long, arduous application and interview process - but here I am, after one lousy post, the new owner of the Calgary Marauders!
