Fantasy Baseball

We’re running a Fantasy Baseball league through ESPN at ukamericansportsfans. The league’s live draft takes place on Tuesday night at 8pm GMT and managers will have 90 seconds to make their picks in turn. If you want to sign up for the league you need to first sign up with ESPN. Everything is free and there will be advice and guidance throughout the season on the site. Right now there is a link to a great podcast from ESPN’s Bill Simmons on the site which can also be found by clicking here.

Whether you are new to the game of baseball or know everything there is to know, everyone is welcome. Fantasy baseball is a lot of fun and this site is a great place for UK fans to learn more and share their knowledge. It also means that you don’t have to wait up until midnight to start your draft.

If you have a smartphone there are some great apps such as ESPN’s own Fantasy Baseball app and their Cheat Sheet app which gives you up to the minute stats. You can enter the league by clicking here. If you have any problems, send us an e-mail to info@ukamericansportsfans.com and we’ll send an invite to you by e-mail. Be part of the UK baseball loving community at ukamericansportsfans.com.

Head over to iplayer to listen to the game live. 5 Live also have an MLB facebook page here.
