Shawn Childs and myself will represent the NFBC in Saturday's 7 pm ET NL LABR Auction League and then again on Sunday at 7 pm ET AL LABR Auction League. These are being held Online for the first time ever because of Covid, so it should be interesting. We are using the RT Sports online auction software. Come and join us.
Here's the two public auction boards:

www.rtsports.com/labr-al-auction
Shawn and I won the NL league title in 2017, but it's been a dry period since then. I have no control over Shawn online from 1,000 miles away, so he's driving this train!!!

LABR was started in 1994 as the industry's first "experts" league and the auction values have been an important part of the fantasy baseball industry for 27 years. There are 12 industry writers in each league and trading is allowed. Other than that, it's very similar to NFBC rules outside of the way you can move a reserve player into your starting lineup. Should be fun.
John Hunt started LABR in 1994 and included luminaries such as Keith Olbermann, Peter Gammons, Paul White, Danny Sheridan and others. The auctions were held on the phone with people from 12 different locations bidding for players. The phone auction was done during each of the first two years before the first live auction was held in Tampa, Florida. LABR has been held live every year since with auctions either in Florida or Phoenix, Arizona. Until this year, that is.
This will also be carried live on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio between 7 and 11 pm ET, so tune into 210/87 and enjoy.
Thanks and wish us luck. We'll post our lineups here after the auctions and take all criticisms/feedback you have for us.
