Coocoostan Pro Baseball
Coocoostan Pro Baseball is a 12 team professional baseball league located in The East Pacific nation of Coocoostan. The league was founded in 2007, after an upsurge in baseball's popularity ensured that a fully professional league was inevitable. The CPB is a corporation, which negotiated a split with the Coocoostan Baseball Congress, which allowed players from it's Premier League to play in the CPB and for. In exchange, the CPB agreed to allow Kalibad and Summikalad, two smaller cities with strong roots in baseball to enter the league. The league also avoided the inevitable moving of the smallest market teams by allowing their rosters to play as a CPB team in another city, while maintaining the old details of the franchise and enter the new AAA league. As well, exhibition games are held in the smaller cities before the start of the year.
