TX-Yep we are a lot alike in this sense! The early 1900's to 1950's are certainly my favorite. Of course no surprise that the Negro teams are my choice of unis and logos to explore and request. The early 1900's era of Negro baseball hasn't been touched too much. Maybe we can get into that at some point...

My favorite era's of baseball would be the 1910's, 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's I guess... The teams of the late 1800's are also of interest to me, along with the early 1900's teams as well... I was never much of a baseball fan till I started playing OOTP and Puresim which lead me to research and play with the teams and players of those era's... My favorite leagues are the Negro Leagues bar none... Just really fascinated by the talent that they had in those leagues for several decades but never got to play in the major leagues... Such a great loss for the sport of baseball... Really would have been cool to see what their stats might have been if they had played in the majors... That's why I enjoy recreating them in OOTP and see how their stats turn out in a what if situation... When I get a request to create a logo or uniform based on an old team of the Minors, the Negro Leagues or some obscure team, half the fun is in the research and the things you find while trying to find a photo of a player, the team or the uniform... Love it...
PS From the first time I saw No Pepper's amazing work on his historical teams uniforms, it was an inspiration to me... His work made me want to try and re-create some of these old teams uniforms and help make this game more enjoyable...
