I liked the idea of 1927 but felt taking the Yankees was like cheating so for my first serious challenge mode attempt I am going to manage the 1927 St Louis Cardinals. Figure gives me a decent shot at a pennant or two over the next few years. Decide to manage only and not GM so I don’t have an unfair advantage over AI Gms. Also went with assigning rookies rather than draft to keep a sort of historical perspective.

Be interesting to follow along with Ruth as his season progresses while hopefully leading the Cards to a World Series matchup with Ruth and Gehrig
