Welcome aboard, David. Just jump in someplace. I actually wrote bits and pieces about the league for a couple weeks or more before joining it...so be careful. :)

You've come to the right place, though. The fictional world of the BBA (or are we now the MBWBA again now that we've got the UMEBA?) is something that separates us. There are a lot of writing leagues out there, but none that, IMHO, do what happens here.

Podcasts are fun, both the more professional and more drunken rambling ones.

Writing about the league is a great way to immerse yourself in it, just forget it’s fictional. They are real players running round those bases
