I've got a fictional league I started in 1901 following most of the guidelines laid out in Larry Anderson's excellent guide to doing such a thing over at planetootp.com. I have just about finished simming up until the 1992 season, when I will finally take control of some team in need, not sure who just yet.

I intend to provide a mix of posts detailing my trials and tribulations in charge of a major league team and also some retrospectives on past events and players in the league.

The league is set up similarly to the current MLB, now that I have expanded out to 30 clubs. However, there is no DH in either league. Our version of the Cy Young Award is the Bill Franklin Award, named after the man with 372 career wins. The Top Hitter Award is known as the John van Dam Award, named after the centerpiece of the Cleveland Navigators dynasty a half century ago.

More to come...
