All-Star Baseball League First Half

Fogelberg – The All-Star Baseball League has reached the end of its first half of action. With a new league format, new players, a new schedule, a new manager in the league and new team budgets everything around the league feels, well… NEW.

“Having been around the game as long as I have, for something to feel new or different is pretty rare,” Falcons manager Don Zimmer said while eating his customary game-day pancakes. “This season has been really special so far because we can keep some of these players with the team for the long run. It makes this league format so much better than what we have been doing.”

The new All-Star Baseball League doubled the length of it’s season from 12 to 24 games per team this year, making for a bit more of a marathon than a sprint.

“You know, I think the new format is going to make for a really intense run up to the playoffs in both leagues. Just about every team in the league has essentially added a new player through the upgrade system, so I think anyone would be silly to make any predictions at this point.”
