I bumped the ballpark capacities up by 5,000 for both the Indians and the Dodgers for the World Series only. I will drop them back to the actual listed capacities after the series. I wanted to simulate additional standing room or temporary seating options.

I am not importing yearly financials, rather I am letting the system use its own internal inflation system year by year. I have noticed in the past that the new financials are updated the day after the world series ends as you enter the off-season. I will be sure to post a screen shot of what changed heading into the next year.

My initial plans are to keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn and allow only the Angels to be in LA following their expansion in 1961. The great ballpark mods for the Dodger Dome and a re-imagined modern Ebbetts Field will be used, just not sure of the timing just yet.

I am also planning on using the other "modern" versions of ballparks that have been created to replace the cookie cutter parks of the 70's. I will have teams move into those multi-use stadiums for 3 or 4 years to simulate the time needed to rebuild the modernized version of their old homes.... Polo Grounds, Crosley Field, Forbes Field, etc.

I do not control any one team, but I love to just jump in and "watch" a game in one-pitch mode. The ballpark mods are absolutely fantastic for me.

After I complete this first year of my re-imagined MLB, I will start simming one month at a time to allow me to move more quickly through history. I love the idea of watching the league evolve with the players I remember, but I also love the randomness that will develop. Where players are drafted and how their development pans out are fascinating parts of the game to me.
