It is free - you probably clicked on the wrong game. You want "Baseball Challenge" (not "Fantasy Baseball")
Welcome to the boards, and hopefully the baseball challenge! A new season starts up after the All-Star Break, but now's a good time to practice how it works.

First, go here . If you're already a registered ESPN user, log in. If not, click on "register for a free account" and follow the instructions. Then go back to the Baseball Challenge (BBC) home page and log in.
If it's your first time logging in, it'll ask you to pick your roster. Do this, following the instructions, and keeping your budget at or below 50.
When that's done, you're playing. To join the group, click on "Group Directory" -- you want the Private group called "GangsterBBC" -- the password is "puzoparty" ...
Please, only people willing to actually play (novice or expert, doesn't matter) -- I don't want to fill the room up with non-players...
Grazie,
JG
PS Where's LDV?!   Ha-ha- new blood! Welcome B.B. Cheese! Like JG said, it's free. Try the above link.

And Bethie - I have never smacked you for any other valid reason on the basis of friendship but I LIKE the Yankees. About the only AL team out there that I can stomach and I respect. I watched that game last night, it was like watching The Bad News Bears in the Outfield. The only thing that could've made it better for me would be to have picked Houston. But who in their right mind woulda done that?? Remember, if you are gonna trash talk, you gotta play. Them's the rules. It's at times painful, but you get used to it after a while. [/b][/quote]Nothing I like better then swinging a little mud. Unfortunately, "there's no friendships in baseball". I know..a bad parody of words. I'm a sucker for a good slap too. Let the rivalry begin. At least here there's some men we'll fight over.

Naw, I never fight over men. But better for me if you distract them while I sneak on up to first place for good. You do understand the baseball/friendship clause Bethie. If you do join, I cannot help you understand the game ANYMORE You will be as formidable a foe as any of these other scrubs. Maybe you would prefer to save yourself the torture. Be smart.

Lucky, that'd be great!
Just look at 4th post on this page (above), where Don Sicilia copied the instructions to join up. Be sure it's "Baseball Challenge" and not "Fantasy Baseball". BBD is free, FB isn't.
If you have questions after looking around there, just ask. (There's a "how to play" section there)

Bethie... the "How To Play" page answers this :p Yes. The five offensive statistical categories which count in Baseball Challenge are Runs Scored (R), Total Bases (TB), Runs Batted In (RBI), Walks (BB) and Stolen Bases (SB). For each instance a player on your team's roster achieves these in a game, one point will be awarded.
BBC 2003 will also include the pitching staff slot. For this there are six statistical categories which count and note that negative points are possible. The categories are Innings Pitched (IP), Earned Runs (ER), Hits (H), Walks (BB), Strikeouts (K), and Wins (W). The following points will be awarded/deducted for each instance one of them take place: 1 out = +1 (complete IP = +3), ER = -3, Hit = -1, BB = -1, K = +1, Win = +5.
