CALL FOR TEAM MANAGERS—A BASE BALL UNDERTAKING OF GRAND DESIGN!

Esteemed Gentlemen, Lovers of Our National Pastime,

The noble sport of Base Ball stands upon the precipice of its grandest era yet! With clubs gathering from far and wide, seeking to bring order to this fine game, a new endeavor is afoot—The New Century Base Ball Association.

As we stand in the year 1871, the game is yet young, though its ways grow more formal with each passing season. There is talk of a lasting arrangement, a proper league where clubs might compete not merely in friendly contest but for true standing in the annals of history! The year 1901 shall mark the dawning of a modern era, where those of keen mind and steady hand shall take the reins of their beloved clubs and guide them forth into the new century.

Yet, three such fine base ball clubs stand in need of a resolute steward:
🏏 Cleveland Blues – A sturdy outfit with much promise.
🏏 New York Highlanders – A club of great ambition, seeking a leader of vision.
🏏 Cincinnati Reds – A team with fine prospects, awaiting a masterful hand.

🔵 A Game in All Its Stages 🔴
This Association doth endeavor to capture the entirety of base ball's history, with all its triumphs and tribulations. The rules and ways of play shall evolve as they did in truth, including:

✅ The Reserve Clause & Its Eventual Unshackling – A game long ruled by the owners, until change comes.
✅ The Color Barrier & Its Breaking – A grave injustice, at last rectified by heroes of the diamond.
✅ The Wars of Nations – Players shall be called away to serve, altering the course of their clubs.
✅ From the Dead Ball Age to the Mighty Sluggers – A time of cunning and swiftness, followed by a time of power.
✅ The Expansion of the Game – More clubs, more contests, more glory!
✅ The Great Debates – Shall pitchers bat? Shall clubs cross leagues in play? Time shall tell.
✅ The Modern Reckoning – Strength of arm and bat is ever changing, as the game bends to new wisdom.

⚾ SEEKING MEN OF VISION & CHARACTER!
The post of Team Manager is not for the faint of heart. It requires keen foresight, a steady temperament, and an abiding love for base ball's past, present, and future. As we near the year 1901, the clubs shall pass from their caretakers to those who would lead them into the modern age.

Should ye possess the mettle to steer one of these fine base ball clubs through the decades, make haste! Declare thy intent, and join us in shaping the very history of the sport we hold so dear!

Apply forthwith, lest ye be left behind as the march of base ball presses ever onward!
