First Pitch Florida - 2024 LABR info
First Pitch Florida is honored to host the 2024 League of Alternative Baseball Reality (LABR) auctions. LABR is the oldest experts league in existence, and was started by John Hunt in 1994. The two original leagues were 4x4, AL-only and NL-only 12-team auctions. In 2012, a Mixed online draft league was formed and now all LABR competitions are in the 5x5 format. The 12-team Mixed Auction event was added in 2020; all three will draft live at First Pitch Florida!
