The Wide World of Baseball -- DOWNLOAD

The year is 2061, baseball has overtaken all challengers as the world's favorite sport, and the Major League is filled with stars from every continent. Gone are the minor leagues, replaced with a five-tier promotion-relegation system. Leagues in Europe, Asia, and Africa are thriving, with dozens more building themselves up.

Disclaimers: Many of the teams and logos used in this save were not made by me; that credit belongs (but is not limited to) txranger, knuckler, hurricanekevin, 20_range, and other brilliant users of this forum. I have not played this league extensively as a GM, so I can't guarantee anything about that experience. Any feedback is welcome. Some translations (i.e. team names, city translations) may be a bit off, I'm not a linguist, I'm just a guy who can type stuff into Google Translate. This is a pretty large file, make sure you have plenty of disk space before proceeding. Hope you enjoy!
