Welcome to the future franchise owners: Paul, Frank, Matthew, and Marek! When you have some time introduce yourselves with whatever you'd like to share here!
We're excited to have you as owners for our future expansion. Chime in on anything you feel fit as you begin to feel out the league.

Hi my name is Matt. I am really excited to be in this league. I am a very active OOTP player and was in an online league with friends once. Look forward to being active and involved in this league. I am a lifelong Mets fan so being able to escape into fantasy style baseball like this is essential for surviving baseball seasons. I've been playing OOTP for a few years and will be here and participate. Look forward to competing with you all and establishing a new franchise and bringing an exciting product to our future fans, who I anticipate calling the best fans in the world!

Hi everyone. I'm Frank and have been around OOTP for some time, since OOTP4. I know some of you from past leagues. I am a displaced Yankees fan living in Oregon. I don't think I've ever taken over an expansion team, but think that's kind of a fun idea. I'm excited by the idea of being in a league with no financials or DH again.

Welcome guys.

Welcome to the League, hope to get you guys a team soon. This league is very active and there are a lot of battles the go on each season that make it intresting for each team EG Battle of the branch, NJ- Ontairo cat fight ;).
This was my first league since 2008 and getting back in to it with a good group of players helps hope you guys will be around and in the league soon. Maybe I can have a winning season then :)

Look forward to seeing which areas are available for expansion selection. Hopefully will figure out a natural rival. Is there no franchise in NY if NJ and Canada are feuding?

There is a NY franchise, but they haven't been shouting enough.
Also the only rivalry between Ontario and NJ is from Ontario's side, we see them as nuisance value only :D

Oooooooooooooooooooh damn!! Ouch.

My only comment to add is that the "NJ" cap logo is a hideous bastardization.

A few bad trades I made took me from good team to start this league and he beat me 19 times and 16 in a row last year so from my side we need all the fun we can get :)

Wow - 16 in a row, didn't know it was that many :)
It's good to have some banter though, this league is far from easy. NY will be challenging soon I think and Pensy is challenging as well now.
The big thing for the rest of us in the PL is to try and maintain dominance for as long as we can and draft/trade well, especially us as we are down on prospects big time.

Hello everyone, my name is Marek and I'll be the future owner of the fourth expansion team.
I'm from the Netherlands and this is just my second year playing OOTP, it's actually thanks to the game that I now have the baseball fever.
Very stoked to take over an expansion team, hope I can make some waves in the long term. The AFBL seems like a great fictional league so I'm sure it'll be fun anyway.
See you around!

Welcome! You and I will get along just fine so long as you don't draft any NJ players in an expansion draft ;)

That is awesome. I have grown up on baseball and its my favorite sport. So cool to see this game bringing baseball to a global level in ways its never been before. Hopefully baseball continues to grow. Glad you are a part of the expansion class I am in also 8)

Dit vind ik heel leuk! I happen to be Dutch as well and actually pronounce my name, Frank, the Dutch way despite having lived in the US most of my life. My son's name is Marik, with the less common spelling being something my non-Dutch wife and I preferred for reasons that are somewhat complicated.

Dag Frank, ik had je Nederlandse achternaam al herkend. :)
I assumed you would be as Dutch as A.J. Pierzynski is Polish, obviously many Americans have distinct Euro surnames.
Nice to hear that you're from Holland.
-
... Pensy is challenging as well now.
There are two n's but anyway... I'm trying to build this team to playoff caliber, but the nuances of this league are challenging. I think some of you in-coming veteran players will soon agree.
Glad to have all of you and can't wait to get to the expansion draft - as long as I don't loose anyone good! ;)

Hello,
My name is Steve Wunda and I am the newest expansion owner. I am looking forward to building a playoff contending franchise from the ground up. Looks like an interesting league that you guys have going on here. Good luck to everyone!
