Thanks for posting.
You are right, it is a massive amount of info and too much to cover.
64 teams are entirely too much to cover and to follow.
By the time I realized this in the first few seasons, I fell in love with all of the teams and couldn't give them up. So I just made some major adjustments and stay with all 64 teams.
If I were you, I would just skim through each of the 36 seasons, keying only on the Pro Cup team rankings (a playoff preview), each game of the Pro Cup Finals and look at the Award winners at the end of each season.
If you are really serious about learning about the IPA, skim through the pages and look for articles entitled "Around the Town in the IPA"... it will give a history and demographics of each town in the league.
For a brief background read posts #1 through #4 on page 1.
Read article "Trouble Looming in Pro Baseball" on page 34, post #661.
I began with only 12 teams, then expanded to 64.
Read through post #676 for all the details.
Post #622 on page 32 covers the Pro Cup playoff teams and their rankings in the league's first year.
Skip to post #638 (also on page 32) which begins coverage of each game of the first Pro Cup championship series. You might glance at the Award Winners after the playoffs conclude.
Then repeat this for each season. That would give you some feel of the league history.
The Playoff Preview for the second season is post #777 on page 39.
The Pro Cup Finals for the second season are covered beginning with post #838 on page 42.
The Awards News will follow the Pro Cup championship series.
I hope this helps you some.
Thanks again for your interest.
