Hey Guys.

I'm running a fictional players only (all computer-driven) from 1902 thru 2000, to create a complete history, record book, etc. prior to going to an online league format.

Each season, I'm saving a full html report, a backup copy of the league, and compiling some interesting stats as well as a quick summary of anything exciting that happened during the year.

If you guys are interested, I'll post this stuff to a website and/or give some updates here.

Let me know.

Some tidbits:

I just finished the 1906 season, and had a pitcher (Wilton Wiggin) throw two no-hitters. The great part is, he already had a no-hitter two years before, and he's the *only* pitcher to have thrown one at all. (So he's up 3-0 over everyone else in baseball.)

In 1905 we had 3 players who had a shot at the first .400 on the final day. Two guys choked and the third ended up at .406 (down from .415 4 days earlier).

In 1906 Eric Smathers (who set the hitting streak record at 37 the year before) started the season with a 45 game hit streak, went 2 for 12 the next 4 games (0-fer in 3 games), then cranked out another 25 game hit streak, thus getting a hit in 71 of his first 74 games.

The New York Giants won the first 4 Championships (1902-1905), the Tigers beating the Cubs in the 5th.
