Hello,

I have decided to create a blog that shows my status for the league that I have started.

I have chosen to recreate the MLB 1950 season. I was offered a job managing the Philadelphia Athletics. Trades are enabled, so it will be interesting to see how the AI trades players around.

Thanks for reading!...
