About 120 years of baseball. If the world would end tomorrow what story would be told of the game, and which names and teams would prove to be the best? If every franchise could choose their best player to ever play each position who would be the best? There are so many angles to look at a season like this from, so many questions to be answered. The rules and the game itself have almost not changed at all for 100 years, so comparisions and equality are very real across the generations.
I have revamped the divisions and eliminated franchises that really dont have a chance due mostly to their limited history. Sou four teams will be left out and a reallingment of the existing divisions was created. The teams left out are:
- Colorado Rockies
- Tampa Rays
- San Diego Padres
- Houston Astros **
**Now the exception here with the Astros is as follows, I will be keeping the Texas Rangers in the league. However this Rangers team will truly be an "All Time Texas" team and the roster will include the best of the Rangers and the Astros through the years. The team will have quite a bit of talent.
**All greats from these teams past should find homes on other teams as most players have played for multiple franchises. The only exception I could find in this was that of Tony Gwynn. With Gwynn I decided to put him on the WEAKEST francises I had that was left, so to me this was the LA Angels who lacked the most talent in my estimation. So Gwyn will join the Angels.
The reallinged divisions
AL EAST- NY Yankees
- Boston Red Sox
- Toronto Blue Jays
- Baltimore Orioles
AL CENTRAL- Cleveland Indians
- Detroit Tigers
- Chicago White Sox
- Kansas City Royals
AL WEST- Minnesota Twins
- Seattle Mariners
- Oakland Athletics
- Texas All Stars
NL EAST- Philadelphia Phillies
- New York Mets
- Atlanta Braves
- Washington Nationals**
NL CENTRAL- Chicago Cubs
- St. Louis Cardinals
- Pittsburgh Pirates
- Cincinnati Reds
NL WEST- LA Dodgers
- SF Giants
- LA Angels
- Milwaukee Brewers
**The Expos will be combined with the history of Washington baseball to create one team.
**All other teams will incude any teams that they used to be before relocating to their cuirrent city. So for example the Braves history inlcudes Boston/Milwaukee and Atlanta.
Trades are turned off for the first season and a balanced schedule is used with division winners and a wild card coming out of each league. Interleague play is alowed and a dynamic storyline will be followed. Injuries are on so teams and their depth will surely come into play. Dynamic stories will also be allowed.
Also some teams have very interesting position battles as many greats are fighting for a starting job. For this reason spring training will be enabled, so we will see who will win the starting job by winning out in the spring.
Also note a player who played with a team for the majority of his career will almost always be with that team, however in some cases players were moved to teams they played for a limited time with, this is the case in order to make the league more competitive. Reggie Jackson is one example. he most likely will be playing for the Angels instead of the Yankees or Athletics who have many more options to fill his spot.
