After a couple dynasty tries that ended with equipment failures, I upgraded to OOTP11 and decided to try once again.

This is a pretty straight forward historical dynasty, using Spritze's HS/All DB for the player pool. Financials, coaches and scouts on, with financials set from the start with modern wrinkles-FA, Arb, 10/5 rights, etc. Only using 3 levels minors, no short season leagues.

I'm not using the 'default' settings for league structure that Spritze has. I'm starting with two 6 team leagues. I have a plan for expansion/franchise moves til the early 60's. At that point I hope to take over an expansion club starting with the inaugural draft.

The initial league set up is:

Columbia Association
Boston Beaneaters
Brooklyn Superbas
Chicago Cubs
Cincinnati Reds
New York Giants
Philadelphia Phillies

United League
Buffalo Bisons
Cleveland Blues
Detroit Tigers
Indianapolis Indians
Pittsburgh Pirates
Washington Senators

I'm at the halfway point of my inaugural season. I'm not much for 19th century baseball--not much for Pre-Ruth ball to be truthful--so my coverage will be pretty sparse for the next 50 or so years.
