Historical League using Gambo 2009

dcundy · 10-23-2008, 12:31 PM

I have started a new historical league beginning in 1877. My database is Gambo 2009. I am attempting to create a league that will be based on the original 8 teams from 1877 and only expand up to 16 teams max. I am also trying to keep the home runs down by having massive parks. So far I have finished the first three years and the max hrs in a season was 8. I am also starting with an 84 game schedule and a two starting rotation.

In 1892 the league has expanded to 16 teams. In the American League; Baltimore Orioles, Boston Americans, Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Blues, Detroit Wolverines, Louisville Eclipse, Philadelphia Athletics and the Washington Nationals. In the National League; Boston Red Caps, Brooklyn Atlantics, Chicago WhiteStockings, Cincinnati Red Stockings, New York Gothams, Philadelphia Quakers, Pittsburgh Alleghenys, and the St. Louis Brown Stockings. For here on I will not expand and will keep the citys/nicknames the same.

Having massive parks will have no effect on HR's.

To keep HR's down, you can use era settings (automatically in game setup) or adjust them in the league totals.

Dan Brouthers (1903)

137 home runs, 3119 hits and 1456 RBIs are the stuff of legend, but Dan Brouthers doesn't see it that way.

"For me, baseball is about the team winning. I could have taken an 0-for-4 that day, but if our team won, I don't think you could have come into the locker room and been able to tell that I did not get a hit because the most important thing to me was that we won. That was what we intended to do when we took the field. That's what it was about."

Fortunately for baseball's newest immortal, he had far more good days than bad days. That's why Brouthers has been installed into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association. In his historic career the standout first baseman participated in 2592 (1) games, batted .324 (9), scored 1846 runs (1), 137 homeruns (2), 256 triples (1), 570 doubles (1), 1456 rbi (1), 437 sb, 890.7 vorp (1) ... and won a few games, too.
