Need Owners - Boards

The BBOTB 1901 - 2024 needs 1 owner. We are currently Drafting Franchises for the upcoming season. We use a variety of rules designed to level the playing fields for the "Lesser Franchises", with Budget adjustments. We also use historically accurate Ballpark options for each franchise.
