The details evolved over time, but the main line is a pretty simple progression. Until 1879 it was essentially a free agent universe, with no limitations. That fall, the NL implemented a...

The season is a little over 180 days, so the ten percent option probably is the closest to the real cost of a ten-day severance payment, strictly speaking, but I always just set it to zero.

I have had this happen, not with fictional players but with real ones whose careers I've artificially extended past their premature endings (Joe Jackson, Koufax). Koufax, as I recall, eventually...

Something else occurs to me belatedly. I'd like to see settings that prevented any substitutions at all, except for injuries, in accordance with the rules prior to 1889.

Miller is a little surprising, and perhaps Collins and O'Brien because their careers were brief, but by and large the first nine make a lot of sense. I never thought of Anson as a base stealer,...

Probably the best deaf player ever was Paul Hines, but he was not a mute and did not get the "dummy" tag. It's hard to tell how severe Hines' hearing loss was, but it seems to have been pretty bad,...

I think you can go up to twenty, but left to its own devices the game won't produce sizes that large, at least in a historical game in the early twentieth century.

What I've done, and it produces...

I've enjoyed Title Bout going back to the board days, but as a boxing fan, particularly of the current scene, I'm just very casual. So there's a lot about the sport and the business I don't...

Is that true for every round, or only the first? I have the vague idea that the expansion teams draft late in the first round, so the new kids on the block don't get the really valuable players at...

That certainly makes perfect sense as a general policy, but if you have to assign fifteen players to teams that never had that many, how can you do real transactions? Will you fill in with players...

If you play with real transactions, so that some teams won't carry the fifteen-player minimum, is the game going to refuse to go forward until you fill the roster up to fifteen? I know some people...

This talk about "playing all nine innings" and "not holding back" is an oversimplification. The unwritten rules never require that players not do all they can to win games. On the contrary, one...
