EMBL FAQ
When does the league start? How much does it cost?
The regular 2014 season will start around May 15th. The league consists of 10-14 teams, in two divisions, 18+ and 35+. The league fee last year was $259 per person for the regular season, including all star games and playoffs. You’ll play 17-22 games. There’s also likely a pre-season in April and Fall season.
How old do I have to be to play?
To play in the over 18 league you must be 18 by December 31, 2014 to be eligible. To play in the over 35 league you must be 35 by December 31, 2014. EXCEPTION: Each over 35+ team may have 5 players who are between the ages of 29 and 34. However, 29-34 year old pitchers can only pitch a total of 2 innings per game in the over 35 league.

How good are the players? How fast are the pitchers?

What about uniforms?
You will need a jersey, with a number (names not necessary) pants, socks, a cap, and cleats- metal or plastic. Each team will decide on their own uniforms, so ask your manager about the price and details.
