 | Thursday, December 15th, 2016: New Federal Baseball League News: First-Year Player Draft Lost in all the hoopla of today's amateur draft are the young men who won't be going first, tenth, or even fiftieth. Many of them will never even make New Federal Baseball League rosters, but one and all will be spurred on by the possibility that some day they'll be playing on a championship club.
