That's an ambitious project I want to pursue, and might be more than I can achieve solo. Is anyone interested in teaming up on this? Happy to take any help I can get!

Premise: Instead of the American League formally becoming equal to the National League and initiating the World Series era, the AL becomes the second tier in a full-blown promotion and relegation system that includes 5 tiers and 22 leagues modeled after the A-D method of classifying independent minor leagues at the time. All 167 teams and 22 leagues really existed in 1903 and my intent is to use the real-life player pool as much as possible (might need to supplement with some fictional players during the early seasons).

Some things that need to be done.
1) Design the pyramid structure (I've got a skeleton in place)
2) Incorporate team jerseys, caps, logos, etc.
3) Apply ballparks where they can be found.
4) Setup the leagues, teams, pro-rel, finances, draft, FA-cup style tournament, etc. in game with a standard 1903 historical save serving as the starting point. Probably just experiment, prototype, and test using OOTP 25 but construct the full version in 26.
5) Plan how the pyramid will evolve and expand in 1904+ based on the reality of when minor and major league franchises formed.
6) Create and host the quick start
7) Play a save and produce some content!
