Historical PCL (w/Negro League players) starting soon
In this alternate history the Pacific Coast League abolishes the color line and declares itself a major league in 1921.
The rosters will consist primarily of actual PCL players, plus the top Negro League stars of the day, plus some West Coast major leaguers. A limited number of PCL stars who “graduated” to MLB in real life (e.g. Waner, Lazzeri, O'Doul, Averill, Lombardi, DiMaggio, Williams) will stick around rather than heading East. There will be a very limited draft each year to bring in a small number of Negro League players. It will NOT be a "superstar league". There will be a handful of stars, but the vast majority of players will actual PCL players. The goal is for the league to eventually be more or less on a par with MLB in terms of the level of competition, not to surpass it. The commissioner will work to ensure that the league maintains an appropriate balance of bums/serviceable players/decent-to-good players/studs. There will be a "parity" rule in effect to prevent teams from getting too good or sucking too much. The ideal GM for this league would be someone who is either knowledgeable about the historical PCL and Negro League players or is interested in learning about them. I don't have the website set up yet. If you think you might be interested please respond in this thread. And feel free to ask questions. |
The website is live and semi-functional: PCL Redux.
If you feel like killing a day, it's got everything you ever wanted to know about this league, and way more that you don't want to know. We're looking for a GM for Seattle. |
We've filled the last GM vacancy. I'll post again if something opens up.
|
We appear to have a vacancy. Anyone interested in taking over a pretty good Seattle team (featuring stars like Pop Lloyd and John Beckwith)? PM if you think you might want to give it a shot.
We're halfway through Spring Training of our inaugural season, so now is a good time to take the reins. |

Following the League
Went to website, I like the league setup. I will follow for awhile to see the evolution of the league. I am interested in Nero League history and would like time know more about the PCL. Let me know if you have any openings in the future.
|
JaBurns, I sent you a PM.
|
We still have an opening. Anyone game?
|
Replied to your PM

No vacancies at this time. Thanks for your interest, though. I'll post here if we ever lose someone.
