First a little about this league and it’s history. I changed a few settings but only for the purposes of making player development independent of Historical elements and anything else I thought would make this a better league. Injuries to classic,1-100 ratings, spritz I have set the reserve roster limit to 25 from unlimited right before expansion.Ratings are now base on neutral stats. Probably something else that I forgot.

This league was started in 1871 and simmed until 1957. It has its own History separate from MLB. The ONLY thing I DID during the simming of the 76 seasons was half way through the 1919 season I changed Babe Ruth from a MR to a LF to simulate his actual career position change. I felt like I owed it to this league to give him a shot at the record books.


I will be catching all of you up on the history of this league in the near future before I move onto the expansion of the league. Even before I announce the actual expansion teams.


What the simming a new history accomplished is it eliminated the issue of not really having enough players to fill teams and reserve rosters adequately as there has been a draft every year.

Organizational Rosters range from 56 Players ( White Sox) to 82 Players (Cleveland Indians) Plenty of players to accomplish an expansion draft without too many ill effects on the league.
So expect a History update BEFORE Expansion!
