1958 Deluxe Past Season with transactions and lineups available now!

The 1958 MLB season was a year of transformation and drama, highlighted by the league's westward expansion as the Dodgers and Giants made historic moves to California. The New York Yankees, led by stars like Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra, cemented their dynasty with a thrilling comeback victory over the Milwaukee Braves in the World Series. Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, and Willie Mays dazzled fans with their stellar performances, while Bob Turley claimed the Cy Young Award. This season marked a pivotal moment in baseball history, blending legendary feats with the dawn of a new era.

League Ownership Compliance Offer

Updated: December 20, 2024

In order to encourage draft leagues to make sure that all of their members own the required Diamond Mind software, we are offering a free gift to all verified leagues. 

Here is how it works:

Once all league members have confirmed that they have bought the required software for the season to come, the League commissioner sends the following information to Diamond Mind BEFORE the league's virtual season begins.

  • Full name of the league
  • Size of the league (total number of teams)
  • Anticipated start date and end date for the league
  • Season database that your season is based on
  • Diamond Mind Baseball game version
  • Full name, email address and order number for the season database purchase by each league member

To avoid violating DMB's licensing agreement, all members should own the required software before receiving a copy of the league database.

If we are able to verify that all members have bought both the game and season software directly from Diamond Mind*, we will award the winner of the league with an e-gift card in an amount equal to the cost of the season being used.  For example, if the league is based on the 2024 season, the e-gift card value will be equal to the original purchase price of $29.95.

Leagues that are based on the most recent season must submit their league and be verified before October 1st, 2025 to be eligible for the free e-gift card.

Participation is open to all DMB leagues and is not limited to leagues that use the most recent season database.

League commissioners can send their league information for verification to dmb_info@imaginesports.com.

 Ownership Compliant Leagues for past years:

2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2016


Important note:

In most cases, we can verify purchases of seasons made directly from Diamond Mind since the company’s founding in September 1995. However, we’re unable to verify items purchased prior to that date or from external sources.

For example, prior to 1995, Diamond Mind software was distributed through a marketing agreement with Pursue the Pennant, a different company whose customer and order records are no longer accessible.

Please note that any seasons not purchased directly from Diamond Mind since September 1995 are not eligible for this offer.

Should there be any disagreement between our records and the information submitted by a league, the final determination of ownership will be based solely on the records in Diamond Mind's customer database.
