In the meantime I stayed up during the night to supplement her feedings for about six months - thank god for project-based remote work - and during these nights I had to come with stuff to fill the time.
One of the things was getting into Japanese media and culture after the Japanese baseball season was over (was streaming live games) and another was seeing how I could turn these things I was working on in my free time into functional OOTP leagues. There was test simulations and spreadsheets and research and experimentation with OOTP settings and so on.
Hence....this!

First of all, I hope your daughter is well now. My own daughter - now a teen - was also ill and in the hospital for the first 11 days of her life, and I remember too the difficulty of filling the time in between hospital visits to her and my wife who stayed there with her. I can relate.
Great, imaginative idea. It seems like neither of the teams I would have rooted for: Newark and Binghamton - my family came from the former and I got my Ph.D. from the latter - make the cut to professional league status.. Oh well.
