I agree with Hef on the placement on new minor league teams in the south, where you don't yet have teams, and using vintage minor league cities to fill in the others. When I play historical sims in the Dead Ball era, I try to be mindful of how difficult travel was - mostly by train - back then. So, geographic concentration works. In that regard, the classic Pacific Coast League is tough. Seattle is a long way from San Diego.

I'm flattered that you gave my fair city of Wilmington a Phillies minor league team, and honored the Quicksteps. I live in a community that was built in 1918 (technically, the first federal housing project, through the War Department, to house workers building ships for World War I) on the former site of the Quicksteps' home field, Union Park. Now known as Union Park Gardens, naturally.

Also love the Anthems as the Baltimore team. Well played!
