Time to randomize the AL East. Because there are two active users on discord, two team selections that start with the letter B and my finger slipped = 2+ 2 +1 = randomized 5 times.
Cleveland (ewd330)
Baltimore (bjc30)
Philadelphia (rawdk27)
Boston (tlowster)
Stay tuned for their player and team reviews.

Time to randomize the NL South, no pay wall or presidential border walls here!?! Since Charlotte pinged me on discord, we used the 10 divisions he's played in to randomize the original order.
Charlotte (Getbedarded)
Mexico City (Hockey1984)
San Antonio (FW_Kekionga)
Nashville (TeamVIP)
Stay tuned for their player and team reviews.

Divisions are following suit and deciding to randomize, the NL East is next up. We'll eventually cover the teams in more depth and similar to the previous, we went over to our friends at Random.org and listed the teams in the order they joined the world - another words, the order they would have selected in. Since Wally was first to agree to join the world we are using the number of playoffs appearances on that account for him, which is 13. Here are the final results. They will sort in order they appear on the team selection windows.
Scranton (Jordan)
St. Louis (pimpbotlove)
Cincinnati (WallyRez)
Indianapolis (Rhyco)
Stay tuned for their player and team reviews.

Alright fans, with the AL and NL North both reviewed, we'll jump to the AL South. But before we cover the teams in more depth, the owners agreed to be randomly sorted within their division. To keep this fair, we went over to our friends at Random.org and listed the teams in the order they joined the world - another words, the order they would have selected in. Since the idea originated with New Orleans (I'm still not convinced he wasn't drunk when he came up with the idea), we decided to use the number of times (28) he has been to the playoffs in his HBD career and used that number to randomize the list. Here are the final results. They will sort in order they appear on the team selection windows.
Durham (mike22182)
Montgomery (TheManUtley)
New Orleans (Avalanche313)
Texas (Gorangers16)
Stay tuned for their player and team reviews.

With the AL North covered, let's shift over to the NL North. Home for daubs2334, staeben, oakman310, and ROHockey10!
On repeat before I start, let me preface this with - make sure you review the team before you make your selection. I could have easily missed something that might change your opinion of a team or player. For Arb info, we've make a blanket assumption of 3 ML years = Arb1, 4 = Arb2, 5 = Arb3. This is also one of the few times we'll use OAV when talking about players. If you select a team but realize you picked the wrong one, please let myself or Jordon know via discord. I will likely confirm that you are happy with your selection before giving the password to the next person.
They'll be choosing from:

My Hardball Stitches owners, faith followers, and everybody else here not sitting on a cushion! Let's dig into the teams of the AL North. This will be the first post of many as we lead up to the start of Season 1. This selection order for this division will be slicknick777, SenorPloppie, mcandrews, and then thebigdogs.
