                    [Title] => PBA 40th Season By The Numbers
                    [Summary] => 

Here’s a quick scan of the PBA’s 40th anniversary season by the numbers. You’ll be surprised to find out that since the pro league’s inception in 1975, membership never went beyond 10. Today, the PBA has 12 franchises and may add two more in the 2015-16 campaign. Expansion appears to be the way of the future as the PBA opens its doors across the nation and overseas to reach out to Filipino OFWs.
