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!

Well, I'll definitely keep following along, although my support for Philadelphia hasn't helped them this year.
I enjoy reading about the "other" leagues, for lack of a better word. I spent a lot of time doing research on the Federal League and Player's League trying to find a good starting point of a dynasty, and wondered what would it have been like if things turned out differently.
I think you did mention The Hit Man, but it is always worth mentioning.
