The NML is a Strat-O-Matic baseball league, entering its 20th 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 Chuck Carline and the 2019
Darwin Cup Champion Northeast Neanderthals!!
The final results are in for 2020. Congratulations to Jon Gordon as Worcester takes team of the month honors and the Nietzchean title with an 18-8 mark in September to break away from New Britain and Northeast by a healthy 5 game margin. Monroe jumped ahead of Monongahela by 4 games to earn the final playoff spot in the division and gain their 15th consecutive playoff berth, congratulations Rich. Except for the Matadors keeping the streak alive I don't think this record will ever be broken. Monroe will travel to Worcester for round 1 with Northeast hosting the Rockcats. San Joaquin took first in the Socratic with Phoenix, Minnesota and Hartford taking the remaining playoff spots. Due to over usage issues with San Joaquin they are dropped down from the first seed to the third seed for round 1 and will face Minnesota while Phoenix will host Hartford. Phoenix and Minnesota will be moving to the Nietzchean division next year with Haven and Niagara Falls joining the Socratic. Thanks everyone for another successful year and good luck to everyone in the playoffs.
