Since back in June when you abandoned your fantasy baseball team because it was totally sucking and you returned to your cubbyhole of Doritos and Freezer Pops, you’ve longed for this day. As Bob Marley sang, this is your redemption song, mon. Or womon. It’s time again to join some fantasy baseball leagues. Before you close all of your extraneous porn windows and rush to sign-up, let’s explain how these fantasy baseball leagues are going to work. We’re going to have a bunch of leagues and crown a winner from each, then we’re going to crown ONE winner from all of the winners. We will be be crowning the winner by taking each team’s points and multiplying it against a ‘league competitiveness factor.’ If you want to see how it worked last year, go here. So we’re going to fill up as many fantasy leagues as we can for the next couple of weeks. Each fantasy baseball league will be a mixed league, 12 team, Roto, 5×5, 5 OFs, one Middle Infielder, one Corner Infielder, one Utility, 9 pitchers, 20 game eligibility, 180 Games Started. The lineup is also known as: C/1B/2B/SS/3B/CI/MI/5 OF/UTIL/9 P/3 BENCH/1 DL. The fantasy leagues will be played in ESPN and they will be free to join. They are not at Yahoo because they don’t give non-leaguemates the ability to see the leagues.
We’re going to start with five leagues of 12 and see how we do from there. Each league has an organizer. The duties of the organizer will be to accept 11 other people into the league, set it up at ESPN at the most conducive draft time and during the season post pretty pictures of the league standings. Just choose one organizer from the 4 RCLs and contact them (the original RCL is invite-only, which is only fair because these guys have been the most active for the longest time). If we don’t get enough to fill 5 leagues, we’ll fold them together like egg whites and sugar. If we need more than 5 fantasy baseball leagues, then we will expand them like egg whites and a beater. If we need more organizers, then we’ll handle that business in the comments of this post. (The number of spots open will be updated by me as I hear from the organizers.)
Now for the BIG prizes! I know, you can hardly wait. This year’s winner will receive a congratulatory phone call from the D-List celebrity of your choice from this site. A win would be nice, but isn’t a phone call from Mr. Belding a lifelong dream? Wanna explain to Larry Holmes what fantasy baseball is so he can tell you congratulations? Wanna find out if Vernon Wells, the actor from Weird Science, ever gets the outfielder Vernon Wells’ mail? Now is your chance! (Offer is only good for $19.95 phone calls, assuming this site stays in business until next October.) In addition to the phone call with Todd Bridges, we’re proud to present the 1st ever Razzball trophy, which will be donated by frequent commenter, Tony. You can see Tony’s work at Claytrophies.com. Finally, frequent commenters, Adam and The Real Tom For Real, have been nice enough to donate a shiny, old-school jacket that proudly proclaims you are the 2010 RCL Champion. Okay, sign up:
