From a preference standpoint, a few more graphics could go a long way towards helping us remember key teams, games, players, etc. Otherwise, I think your dynasty is fantastic and doesn't really need improvement.
Thanks for the compliments. I will start using some graphics to spice up the pages.

I noticed your Uniforms link andI really enjoyed your wonderful uniforms. You are very talented.

The New Orleans Pelicans logo is great.

Incidentally, as a kid I used to go to Pelican Stadium in the early 50s to watch the Southern Association New Orleans Pelicans. The Southern Association is my all-time favorite baseball league. It featured the Atlanta Crackers (one of the greatest minor league franchises), Birmingham Barons, Memphis Chicks (short for Chickasaws), Nashville Vols, Chattanooga Lookouts, Little Rock Travelers, Mobile Bears and New Orleans Pelicans.

My favorite baseball Pels were pitcher Bob Purkey, outfielder Frank Thomas and first baseman Dale Long... all played for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 50s and 60s.

I was ball boy for the Mobile Bears for about three years in the 50s. I sat in the right field bullpen and chased down foul balls. I was paid a dollar a game. Wow, those were some great years. My favorite Bears were Gary Bell, fine righty for Cleveland and Boston in the late 50s and 60s... Bill Dailey, fine reliever, though very short-lived because of arm trouble, for Minnesota in the early 60s (Dailey was the American League reliever of the year one year), Jim Gentile, slugger for Baltimore until Boog Powell replaced him... Dick Brown, good catcher for Detroit (sadly, I heard he died in an auto accident at a young age after a short Major League career... and Don Demeter, fine jouneyman center fielder for the Phillies and Tigers.
