The ULMG Constitution

History

The United League of Moderate Gamers was created in 1986 so that ordinary people could experience the thrill of operating a Major League baseball franchise without the bother of spending countless millions of dollars for the pleasure.

After incomplete seasons of face-to-face Strat-O-Matic play in 1986 and 1987, the charter members – Todd Burkes, Darren Grasse and Rick Senften – re-formed the league into a 12-team, play-by-mail format beginning in 1989. The inaugural members were:

  • Todd Burkes (Houston)
  • Darren Grasse (Seattle)
  • Rick Senften (Cleveland)
  • Scott Harrington (Chicago-N)
