thecolourclearHey guise! I don't know if y'all have heard of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
baseballfantasy where fandoms get together to play baseball, but The West Wing has a team! The best part is, you don't need to know a lot about baseball to join in the fun! Let me say that again! All you across the pond, or Yanks who couldn't care less, it's okay! Knowledge of how baseball works is not a necessity [because let me tell you, if it were, I'd be lost as soon as the words 'ground rule double' were uttered. No, that is not an invitation to explain it to me. I get it. But if you hit the ball out of the park, you should be allowed to run around all the bases.]
ANYWAY! To be involved, straight from the FAQ, all you need to do is: Write fic about the games, the players, and their off-field activities. Make art. Point and laugh. Seriously, if this comm inspires you to do something, go ahead and do it. I'll make you a tag.
There's a computer programme that will simulate the games, so all we get to do is have loads of fun! So, I now present ....
The Jackals! Leo McGarry is the team manager, and the Roster and schedule is ( under the cut )
So now we need player profiles, team profiles, team logos, player cards, fic about the absurdity of playing baseball, and how this was all JOSH'S DUMB IDEA, you name it!
If people want to post any profiles [I'd really like all the profiles to be in one place, so people don't post two, as that can get confusing, so if y'all on DW can post 'em here on LJ using open ID that would be really nice], I can round them all up and make a post tobaseballfantasy with all the player profiles in one post. Leo needs a profile too!
But yes! Join comm! Have fun! Let's cheer The Jackals on to victory!
