Three quarters of the way through Season 57, this league has enough history and plenty of opportunities for rivalries such as Houston vs Atlanta have formed. Or the more recent Hartford vs Chicago fighting over the NL North - though not much of a battle this season. Or an even more bitter rivalry of the Commissioner vs Tim Horton's donuts fighting over his waist line. Or foolsgold79 vs the 25-man roster to see who gets traded away this week.
We worked with Skynet on developing a schedule for Rivalry Week, the proposal from the commissioner's office pits two teams in a key series every year, no matter the league or division, with the title on the line.
