Which team would you guys be most interested in reading about? The 2 New York teams would maybe hold a little more interest for me since I'm originally from New York and now live in California (closer to the Dodgers).

I would pick the Dodgers since they had such a rough time winning championships when they were in Brooklyn. But your writing style is so engrossing, it doesn't matter which team you do. I am a Phillies fan and don't like the Yankees much but I followed this one...
Also, I have OOTP X and am running a historical league managing the Phillies that began in 1901. I have turned off scouting and financials and have player ratings being re-calculated based on three years of real life, neutralized stats. Injuries are set to Very Low (tried them at Low but getting too many injuries). I have a AAA league but if I had to start over, I would eliminate it and just go with reserve rosters. The only house rule I have is that I can initiate only one trade per year and it can't involve more than 3 players in total. Also, if a computer offers a trade, i can either reject it or accept it, no counters. In case of an injury where I don't have anyone on the team that can play that position, I can trade for a player who can play that position but is ranked lower (Reports: Positional Ranking by Position) that the player that was injured.
I am through 1904 and am seeing the Pirates win the division easily every year! I have come in 4th, 2nd, 2nd, and 3rd.
