\"BgbFantasyHeadline\"BaseballGB’s fantasy league is back for 2011. Its first two seasons have been very competitive and we are hoping for an even stronger league this year.
\n\u00c2\u00a0
\nIt doesn’t matter if you are a fantasy baseball rookie or a seasoned player – if you are mad about baseball, you’re welcome to join us and pit your wits against BaseballGB’s writers and site visitors.
\n\u00c2\u00a0
\nAnd what’s more, if you join, your team will also feature in the weekly league roundups posted here on BaseballGB.<\/p>\n

How the league works<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

We run a weekly head-to-head league, so your team goes up against another manager’s where you are trying to win 12 categories.\u00c2\u00a0 As there’s always a weekly match-up to\u00c2\u00a0win, there’s always something to play for and some glory to be won.\u00c2\u00a0 And as with the real MLB competition, if you make it into the playoffs there’s every chance that you’ll\u00c2\u00a0make it to the final and be crowned the BGB Fantasy League champ.
\n\u00c2\u00a0
\nSo far we have 11 managers signed up and eager to enjoy the competition, but there is room for three more teams, possibly more depending on the level of interest.
\n\u00c2\u00a0
\nThe league is run through Yahoo and is FREE<\/strong> to join – you just need to set up a fantasy account with Yahoo if you don’t already have one.<\/p>\n
