Paramount League of Baseball Clubs

[Nick Soulis]

As the turn of the century came the country is prepared for a world of change both in living and in innovation. The game of Baseball is no exception to this and the first months of the new century brought major change to the most popular game in the land.

For 30 years the game has been filled with corruption, gambling, and segregation, now a new day dawns. Former league innovators like Ban Johnson have been put aside and a new face to the game has come in and made sweeping changes to a new league.

Thirty year old Theo Epstein has started a new league along with partner Bob Costas and mentor and affiliate Bill James that will both clean up the game and make it fresh and new for the country. It was announced that any and all players that were involved in past professional leagues will not be eligible for the new league thus making the new league full of young talent from all parts of the globe. In fact most players in the league will be under the age of 23.

The New League will also expand to the International scene, with teams in Cuba and Mexico expected. A team from Los Angeles is also expected to be included. Currently it appears that there will be a 12 team league with two six team divisions. The top two pennant winners will play for the Championship.

The name of the now accepted and affiliated new face of Baseball? Paramount League of Baseball Clubs.

A farm league known as the Class League will serve as an affiliate and feeder for the new league.

The experts however expected the team to struggle in its first season. Tony Boeckel is considered the top third baseman in the league and is among the oldest players in the league at 23. Second baseman Pinky Higgins is considered the most popular player and a man the team can rally around. Expected 1900 Record: 70-92 Team owner Sam Malone quote: "We expect to bring winning baseball to our city and all the New England area. We will respect the game and live up to the standard expected by this grand new league."

The pitching is definitely deeper and more formitable then other teams with Greg Swindell and Whitney Baker quite a combination. Pete OBrien is the favorite by many to win the batting title and some experts actually think this team will lose less the 50 games. If only the games were played on paper. Season Prediction: 115-47 Word From the Owner: Frank Sinatra "Brooklyn is the most loyal city in America. We expect our players to be loyal and a fan to know these players as part of a family for years to come. We are excited about what lies ahead."

We look to be a team that carries itself with the pride of the nations most prominent city. Sportsmanship will be our rule not our option."

If they can not take the pressure of playing under theses circumstances, they wont last long on the roster."

The offense has no real star and the frugal mentality of the team has some worried already. To make matters worse outfielder Lefty Marr has his career up in the air after suffering serious concussion symptoms. Philly fans are demanding and with no games being played yet, anything can happen. 1900 Prediction: 69-93 Word from the Owner Bill Cosby "It is not about winning right off the bat, we want to build something here for the future and build a winner from the ground up. An immediate championship is for all those rich folk"

Predictors have this team looking from the outside in but a pennant race for this team would be fun to watch as the underdogs take on the big fish from New York and Boston. 1900 Predicted Record: 72-90 Word from the owner Lucas Cain "Baseball has proven it can live and thrive outside of the big cities.

Baseball in Mexico is something that really gives any league some real passion. The Mexicans will back their team to the full and the team that they have is made of some hard nosed ballplayers. Manager Antonio Martinez is a national celebrity now any team traveling to play south of the border will have their hands full.

Texas has the talent to win right away and has the deep pockets needed to compete, most think that this team along with New York will dominate the league landscape and market size. The Wild West lives here. 1900 Prediction: 84-78 Word from the owner JR Ewing "Winning isn't a belief here but rather an expectation. If we don't get the results we will find someone who does, I don't believe in pressure."
