The NML is a Strat-O-Matic baseball league, entering its 21st 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 Jon Gordon and the 2020
Darwin Cup Champion Worcester Tornadoes!!

2021 power ratings
The experts in Lost Vegas have posted the latest power ratings following the General draft and it looks like we will all be reaching for the Black Flag Wasp and Hornet spray 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.
