In 1893, the in-game universe saw the addition of the
Canadian Baseball League, which was the first competition outside of the United States. The league has eight teams in a single division - two in both Montreal and Toronto:
Notes on names:
- Danforth (Toronto): team is located in a section of Toronto that became known for its large Greek population.
- Hamilton: known in Canada as "The Electric City" - developed the 2nd telephone exchange in North America and had an electric streetcar system in the late 1800s.
- London: named not just because the city's name, but because it has been home to several visits from high-ranking British royalty, including Queen Elizabeth II.
- Ottawa: a bit self-explanatory, but since Canada is a federation I decided to make them Federals instead of Nationals.
- Quebec City: was established in 1541 by French explorer Jacques Cartier.
- Riverside (Toronto): a nod to a founder and of the two teams who played the first game in the history of the league that became the NBA - the Toronto Huskies.
- Ville Marie (Montreal): located in the section of Montreal that is home to the original fortification that the city itself was built around (Fort Ville-Marie)
- Ville Ray (Montreal): Actually no real reason for this one.
Teams in the league play each other 18 times over via half a dozen three-game series, making for a 126-game season. As when other leagues have had less than a dozen teams, there are no playoffs in my version of the CBL.
This is another league I'll need to work on a Quickstart & Template for. I'll post them when I've made them.
