IT'S 2023 ALL OVER AGAIN BI-CYCLE THE WILD ONE CUSTOM LEAGUES KINGS THE TIPPING POINT IT'S 2023 ALL OVER AGAIN The 2023 season is now live and available online! Heading the salary list is Shohei Ohtani. The AL MVP will cost you a cool $27,280,000 As part of the release, the rule limiting pickoff throws, introduced in 2023, has been added.

If you want to play in a tried-and-true format and create your team right now, standard leagues (Classic and SSG) are open to the public 24/7. But if you want to try something different, Custom Leagues – created by customers – are there in abundance.

Diamond Mind Online would not be the same if the Community did not include some of the most clever and prolific creators of Custom Leagues. We’ll be featuring one of these in this space each month. This month we’re visiting with Paul (coalcreekbaseball) Stark, proprietor of Starx Cards. Tell us something about yourself: age, occupation, marital status, where you live, and interests (apart from DMO, of course). I’m just about to turn 65 (in March). I’m married [...]
