So we are trying to get this old mans league up and running and have some fun. I know some of you have expressed interest in joining so to anyone out there who would like to participate please reply to this post or message me. Just trying to get a head count so we can set up the league properly.
I'm in for sure at the parameters discussed earlier about players on All Star etc. I want to be the Giants but if someone else wants that I will be the Astros. I don't think you can use your DD Team Name in a league.

Yeah seems like out of the people that chimed in, All Star was preferred, as was using your DD team with no restrictions. You can use any cards you want with no cap. I didn't know that you couldn't use your DD team name in a league. Like I said, never set one up or participated in one before so it's new to me. You can use your DD team though, just have to play under the name of a real MLB team?

Yes I believe that's how it works. I played in one league with 4 players and I didn't set it up but I know you couldn't use your created player (CAP) and played under a MLB Team Name and then used their many road and home uniforms.

Hopefully you're able to find one used somewhere for not too much. If not, I would think a Walmart or Target would have some but not sure what they would charge for a new copy nowadays. I would also think you could get the digital copy on PSN but again, not sure what that would cost.

I usually play after the baby goes to sleep. I play mostly offline since it allows me to pause it and go take care of the baby or chill with the wife. Online I just usually play until I reach PR, so that I grab the diamond.
Back 17’ I took about 15 ranked season losses because of a crying child

Man I remember those days. My kids are older now, 15 and 10 but when they were younger I remember taking many losses due to them needing immediate attention. At that age there is never a safe time to play. They could be sound asleep and then in an instant be awake and screaming.

You either take the L because of the baby or you take the L with the wife
You KNOW which one to pick. -

Good thread. 47 with a 4 year old and another literally due in about a week. Yes, I'm gonna be that guy in the hospital checking his phone, "Did my Mays buy order go through?"
Started with Intellivision baseball also, moved to C64 and Hardball & Micro League Baseball, NES Baseball Stars (my primary fantasy team's name every year is Ninja Black Sox) through just about every The Show, but only DD/online last couple years.
47 with a 4 year old and one on the way??? [censored] congrats to you sir. I’m 45, fiancé is 49. Our kids are 29, 26, 22 & 16. No way could I start over now. I’m exhausted!
