Finally I moved on to BM leagues, and now I play in two historical leagues (1956, 1969). It's an awesome, enriching experience playing against other human GMs...building your team, dealing with the first rounders that flame out, and the 6th rounders that become everyday hitters...picking out the FAs with some decent ratings to shore up your decimated staff, and facing the agonizing decisions of what FAs-to-be you keep, versus those you let walk.
AOW, I'm curious about the historical league you're talking about because I've started the same year as you (2007), been around the game and this forum for a while and I feel like I should make the move to BM leagues. Any room left for a newbie to online league? Any other interesting league you know about?

Thanks.
