25 years ago, I was in a fantasy football league that had a live auction.

Each team had a $100 budget.
Bidding competition for great players drove prices up over $65 in some cases, so the guys who won those stars had to scrape together the rest of their rosters with players nobody else wanted.
It was a lot of fun because the tempatation to bid on players I really wanted on my team was strong, but the impulse to save money for the rest of the team was also strong.

The league fell apart because of drama, but the idea of a fantasy sports auction stayed with me.

Then I played fantasy baseball online, but I stopped because I would always have players on my fantasy team that played against the Phillies. Do I root for my guys? Do I root for the Phillies? Plus the statistics and scoring got too complicated, so I didn't play for a long time.

Much later, I was in a fantasy football league at work. The draft was lame, not an auction. The players on my team played against the Eagles all the time, which confused me, and my team was so bad, I was out of the running by week 3 and had no reason to follow it anymore.

January 7, 2026, while eating a Wawa hoagie, I had the idea for a website to host a free fantasy baseball service with:

• A live auction
• Phillies players only
• Scores tallied weekly

So I built it.

The rules and scoring are as simple as I could make them. There are four players on each team, one statistic for pitchers, and one statistic for hitters. That's it.

I made the "One Post Wonder Baseball League", which you can join here.

If you would like to play, click that link, then:

1. Enter your email address and a password.
2. Click "Create Account".
3. Give your team a name.
4. Click "Join league".

If you want to read the rules first, they're here.

I picked 6PM Eastern on Saturday, March 21 for our live auction because spring training will be almost over by then, and we'll have a good idea of what the opening day roster looks like. We'll do an optional Zoom call during the auction for banter and running commentary. If a different date or time would make it so you can join, let me know.

This is specifically designed for people who have never been in a fantasy sports league before, and for people who don't know anything about baseball or the Phillies.

The auction is going to be about 90% of the whole experience. After that, you just check in whenever you want to see how your four players are doing. There's no day-to-day management or anything. 

Anyone on One Post Wonder is invited to join.

After the collapse and reduction, there were not enough people left to rebuild the way things were before.

What we could rebuild was… different.

It wasn’t all bad:

Without a power grid to light up the night sky, the stars were easier to see.

The obesity epidemic wasn’t a problem anymore.

There were no more traffic jams, and pollution wasn’t really a concern.

Life was ghastly and bleak in every way.

Scattered families scratching out lives, hiding from thugs and roving bands of Skullers.

One night, Autumn, a resilient girl in an impossible situation, made a simple choice that drastically altered the course of many lives.

She decided to run.
