We are all searching for some new and fun things to do to pass the time that we are all quarantined. Here at Sox On 35th, we decided to bring bloggers, podcasters, players, and fans together and create The Show on 35th, a custom league on Playstation’s MLB The Show 20, and find out who is the best at the video game we have all begun to love with our newfound free time.
Here’s how it works: due to the incredible interest in the league, we decided to split it up into two leagues of 16 teams. Each team will play one game against each other in the “Regular Season,” and the top 8 teams in each league will advance to the playoffs. From there, the winner of each league’s World Series will play each other in the championship for the title of “Inaugural The Show on 35th Champion.”
Now, I know what you’re all waiting for: who are all the teams that are going to lose to me?!? Here are the league breakouts, their teams, and their Twitter handles. The order in which the players are listed are the order in which teams were drafted:
