I just read it all in one sitting, but I think you've got a good balance with how you are covering things. I'll be following along. As for rooting for a specific team, I usually always like to go with the local team, so I'll be pulling for Philadelphia. Only four games out, so a second half comeback isn't out of the question. |
Thanks! I think I already told you this in another dynasty I had, but The Hit Man is my favorite player of all time!
Anyway, it was fairly easy to create a back story because most of it is true! The one thing I changed about the United League was Mr. Witman moving to Philadelphia. In reality, he stayed in Reading. But the Pagoda is a real building that still stands today.
As for the Federal League, their story is much more well known, but I had so much fun digging through the NY Times archive for United and Federal League information. Most of the owners names are correct, if the info was out there, and you may know that Weeghman Park, home of the Chicago Orphans of the FL, is now known by a different name...Wrigley Field.
Thanks for reading and I hope you keep following along!
