The NML is a Strat-O-Matic baseball league, entering its 22nd season. We expanded to 16 teams in 2006, but we are always looking for new enthusiastic managers willing to face a challenge. This is a salary format league, utilizing contracts, free-agency, protected farm systems, soft salary cap, and bonus point system based on team performance. We also implement a division realignment every year, similar to that of English Premier Football (Soccer). We have a great group of guys that enjoy spirited competition.
Congratulations to Derek Lyon and the 2021

San Joaquin Valley vs Homestead
The 2022 season results are final and we have the following teams going to the playoffs. Niagara Falls, Monroe, Northeast and San Joaquin Valley in the Nietzchean division and Homestead, California, Phoenix and Worcester in the Socratic division. The preseason power ratings predicted seven of the eight playoff teams the only miss being Charleston who were beaten out for the 8th playoff spot by Worcester. The Homestead Grays finished first in their division with an historic season as they tied for the second best record in league history with 125 wins. Niagara Falls finished atop the Nietzchean with 103 wins, tied with Monroe but they take the top seed via the head to head tie breaker. Congrats to Steve and Carl on their division titles and special congrats to Rich Molino and the Matadors for their 18th consecutive playoff appearance, a record that will live in infamy. We had three teams tied for Team of the Month honors, Homestead for the fourth time and Niagara Falls and Charleston each made their first appearance. We also need to congratulate Worcester's Shane McClanahan for his remarkable no-hit performance against Haven on 9/23 highlighted with 21 strikeouts, incredible. Good luck to the playoff teams and thank you all for making our 22nd NML season another success.
The experts in Lost Vegas have posted the latest power ratings following the General draft and it looks like we will all be chasing the Homestead Grays and defending champ San Joaquin Valley Wasps during the hot summer months ahead if the numbers are correct. Remember though that the experts aren't always right and they have left out the element of a human manager, your managing skills can make all the difference in the final standings leading up to the exciting and unpredictable playoffs.
