AL Rhubarb

This site began in November, 2016 as the Grand American League Rhubarb, and I played and covered a full 162 game season for 14 AL teams that culminated with a Red Sox championship in January, 2018.

You can find all the game summary posts still on the blog. The rosters used are still listed under the Rosters tab above. See below for the final standings, leaders, and full stats.
