Red Sox versus Yankees, historical

Wh4tThePuck · 03-21-2020, 08:29 PM

Trying out a historical simulation where my cousin and I are matching up our favorite players from our respective favorite teams from across history, past to present to create these super teams. Watched it in 3-D mode pitch by pitch, loved it. Was exciting to see my favorite players again. There's no baseball right now, so let's do some historical simulations.

This took me 4 hours to set up, research included. Wanted to be sure I had the best guys. Some rules we set out:

1) Players can't have played for both teams. So Wade Boggs is out. Babe Ruth, also. And many more I never realized before.
2) Can't play players at non-natural positions. This means I have a realistic backup catcher rather than just making a super squad of big bashers.
3) Dead ball era sucks, IMHO. Cy Young doesn't play on this squad.

I would like to set up a World Series tournament for seven games and be able to watch it pitch by pitch. I don't know how to do that with my standard game league that I have warped into a historical simulation. If you know, please tell me how!

The teams:
