Ligue de Baseball Guadeloupe

[JackOnAMacYT]

To begin, I will say that technically the league is on OOTP Go, however there isn't a Dynasty Reports or Historical and Fictional Simulation Forum there, so I'm just going to put it here if that's ok.

Anyways, The Ligue de Baseball Guadeloupe is a Baseball league that was formed in 2023 in this timeline. I originally was going to chose Haiti as the country to do my fictional baseball league in, however then I wanted to chose a non-independent island, so I chose Guadeloupe because it still speaks French (even though Haiti also speaks Haitian Creole, a varied edition of French) and it was big enough so that way I could have room for at least some expansion if I wanted to.

The LBG is consisting of 14 Teams, 7 in the Eastern Ligue and 7 in the Western Ligue. The most successful players in league history have been Daniel Petit, who is on the ballot for HOF voting next year, Julien Robert, who has the record for Batting Average in a season at .366, and lastly Sebastian Bernard, who retired after the 2034 season and holds the record for most HRs in a year. Currently, there are no hall of famers.

I've simulated 13 seasons of the LBG, and here are the champions from those seasons along with future champions that we will have:

2023: Sainte-Rose Scorpions (West Ligue)
2024: Basse-Terre Rebels (West Ligue)
2025: Trois-Riveries Bears (West Ligue)
2026: Basse-Terre Rebels (West Ligue)
2027: Trois-Riveries Bears (West Ligue)
2028: Pointe-Noire Penguins (West Ligue)
2029: Trois-Riveries Bears (West Ligue)
2030: Basse-Terre Tigers (West Ligue)
2031: Le Gosier Pelicans (East Ligue)
2032: Le Gosier Pelicans (East Ligue)
2033: Basse-Terre Rebels (West Ligue)
2034: Le Gosier Pelicans (East Ligue)
2035: Basse-Terre Rebels (West Ligue)
2036: Sainte-Rose Scorpions (West Ligue)
2037: Petit-Canal Cannons (East Ligue) Page 1

I will allow for custom players to be made. There will be 8 per year however if it goes over 8 prospects per year, I will do the first 8 in the first year, and then the next year I will add the remaining players, then so on and so forth. Each user is allowed as many prospects as they want. Anyway, that about covers it, after this I'll post the league structure.
