Yes, with free agency present here for MLB, it's very rare to see players play their whole careers with one team nowadays. Smaller leagues, on average, may be best, in certain ways, as you've said, EC. But I still like to see a lot of teams playing, whenever possible, in a game world. Whether it's one of mine or someone else's, in truth.

I still hold to the belief, however, that you DID NOT make a mistake when you made the IPA so large. It might have been better, though, when you did, to have created a multi-level setup like you were likely thinking of doing early on in the league creation process, by making certain teams minor league affiliates of certain other teams, or using a promotion/relegation-type plan for the league, if you could have.

But you didn't, when you expanded the IPA, evidently. And that is probably because OOTP didn't have that capability yet, or at least not like it does now, right?

It's too late to split up the IPA into different levels or different leagues, no doubt, now that it's accumulated so much history for it here. Maybe if you'd have been able to do that early on, or even started like that, it would be easier to do, if at all possible. But that wasn't how things turned out for you here, of course, EC.

In any case, where will both AG and GC end up playing this year in your IPA, if at all possible, perhaps? Just wondering, that's all, EC.

As for how they are in jg2977's IPA, they're probably no more than a year, if even that, away from retiring, especially since their only/elder sons are now on Glasco, at least for the 1979 postseason. I don't think GC and AG will play in 1980, prior to his likely realignment for the 80th Anniversary season of his IPA in 1981, but we'll have to see. There isn't much more that they'll likely be able to do in his IPA as players, I think, if anything, if they were to play in 1980, that they haven't done.

GC won't likely set the Glasco pitching strikeouts record now simply because he missed pitching in three seasons that could have perhaps helped his chances of doing so, at least. If he'd pitched in 1976 through 1978, he probably would have already broken it, or at least come very close to the team record in question for Glasco. But he didn't, so that's something I'll have to likely live with here, especially because he's nearly done, if not done, after this year, and it's quite unlikely either of us actually wants to see him still pitching until he's 49 or 50, which is probably what it would take for him to break it now, I think. As long as he is still playing, his only son can't take over for him fully, it seems to me, on the mound.

Talk more later, as time allows and all, I'm sure. Hopefully jg2977 will like the items posted for Tuckanarra's Blue Jays well enough to perhaps use them in the future, somehow. Thank you for your time and all, as always, of course, EC. That's all for this post here, at least, then, I think. CD out.
