Meet the Six Teams.
Jim Nason’s Valley Wheel Over-28 Baseball League values team parity — that is, no one team is wildly better or worse than another. While not always easy to accomplish, team parity has resulted in competitive and interesting baseball seasons since 2006. Currently, Valley Wheel is made up of six teams: Angels, Athletics, Cubs, Orioles, Tigers and Twins.
Past Pennant Winners & Champs
At the end of the Regular Season, the team with the best record is named the Pennant Winners. Then the Top 4 teams play three single-elimination games to determine the Champions.
