Thanks, ctorg. It's good to know you'll be following along.
Even though I'm from Australia and don't know as much about the history of the sport as you guys over in the US, I have been following it since 1990 and have done quite a bit of research (mainly on wikipedia) to help me with writing the various dynasties I've started. As I said in an earlier post I'm determined to make this one last for a very long time.
As for the Dodgers in Brooklyn, part of my reasoning to keep them there is so that this dynasty can be set in the same "universe" as my boxing one, which is set in 2002 and where the Dodgers are still in Brooklyn. Another reason is that, IMO, of all the MLB teams that have relocated over the years this particular one seems to have been the most unpopular. The Dodgers were very important to Brooklyn and IMO, MLB would be even better than it is if the Dodgers had remained in New York in general and Brooklyn in particular.
I am really hoping that as this dynasty progresses the Dodgers are able to add to that single World Series win. Hopefully the '59 season will be as great for the team in this dynasty as it was in real life.
