The 2012 North American League season was the second season of the North American League. There was no inter division play between the North and United division. San Rafael Pacifics outfielder Maikel Jova held a NABL record 37 game hit streak during the season.[2]
Season schedule
The 10 teams in the league were oddly split between two divisions, North and United. The North division consisted of four teams. The United division consisted of six teams. The United division refused to play a championship series against the North and instead played against their own division in one best-of-three semi-final series and one best-of-five championship series. The North hosted one best-of-three final series.
