But part of the reason for doing this is to learn about Gern Blanstien of the 1922 Oakland Oaks. I want to know whether he was Tom Veryzer or Mark Belanger. I know most players who play historical sims emphasize the sim part of the equation. I put a lot more stock in the historical part of it. The wonder of historical minors is there are suddenly tens of thousands of new players I never heard of that I can put through their paces and learn about. Having the fielding all be the same kills my suspension of disbelief.
This is true. I know you want to actually play the Texas League. Me, I want it to compliment my MLB replay. In the end, anything you are pushing for will only serve to make my experience better as well, so I'm 100% with you.
