The official name is the DOS Retro Baseball League (DRBL). However, commissioner Jeffrey Hart says that now it’s technically the “DOS Memorial” Retro League in light of the fact that the league now has moved on to APBA Baseball for Windows. For those wondering, that’s made very clear in their constitution.
A. The DOS RETRO BASEBALL LEAGUE is a play-by-computer, continuous ownership, draft league.
B. The APBA BBW 5.5 Computer Game is the league standard.
I love reading APBA Leagues’ constitutions :)
Check out the DRBL website which is chock full of their replay statistics. Don’t miss their Past Seasons page that has stats and standings from the 1946-48 replays.

Jeff says they are currently playing the 1949 season. The DRBL plays about two seasons per year.
Thanks to Jeff for sending this in. I love hearing about retro leagues. They are such a different breed of league than what I’m used to.
If you want to brag about your league, we’re listening! Tell us all about the league you are in and we’ll post a profile about it. In the meantime, read about other leagues who have written in.
Hey, thanks for the plug. Cool! I haven’t been posting much as far as league updates, besides stats and standings of course. That is soon to change as I have resigned from the other league I was running. So I just have the one league now.
We are at the All-Star Break of our 1949 season. Some great races going on as we have only 5 games separating the top 5 teams in the AL and the top 4 teams in the NL.
Note: I do need to update that constitution as some things have changed and become obsolete since we moved to BBW.
One other thing. Stats and standings will be updated tonight, February 13th. Mid-season writeup to come later in the week.
Website has been updated with a 1949 Mid-Season writeup and I’ve changed the background.
We will be starting the 2nd half on February 20. Looks to be a couple of exciting pennant races.
