New Seasons Past League readies its launch back into the
"Golden Age" of baseball!
LAS VEGAS, NV -
We hope you will consider joining this new SPB league. 1948 was a
great season with aging stars such as Johnny Mize, Walker Cooper,
Charlie Keller, Tommy Henrich and Joe DiMaggio, established stars
in their prime like Stan Musial, Ted Williams, Bob Feller, Del
Ennis, Ralph Kiner, Hank Sauer, Enos Slaughter, Warren Spahn,
Johnny Sain (and pray for Rain!), Lou Boudreau, Joe Gordon, Bobby
Doerr, and rising young stars such as Richie Ashburn, Roy
Campanella, Yogi Berra Pee Wee Reese, Carl Erskine, Jackie
Robinson and Larry Doby. And I'm sure I have forgotten many! Many
of us weren't around for the SPB-II 1948 season, and maybe a few
wouldn't mind replaying it with different players. Sign up for
soon to play the Golden Era of baseball!
