Hey all, I am so enjoying the Cubs dynasty that I currently am running but I am afraid I am going to get tired of it and not want to keep it giong so I am going to launch another Dynasty that I can work on at the same time.

This will be a history of baseball but with a slight twist. As the years go by, instead of dumping teams and having them pass into history, I plan to keep teams around. If a team existed, it will continue. Each league that came into existence will also stay. This sounds like a bunch of work and it is. But the end result is kind of fun and interesting.

There will be some changes to teams names, some teams will play in more than one league more than one time but each will exist as they could have.


There will be a little difference in the I set up the leagues. The National Association, being the original league, will be set up to get the imported rookies from year to year. It will undergo two name changes but it will always be the main league. In this go around, I am going to allow the players to be put into a draft so that history will be a bit different then real ilfe. I also plan to have the draft on March 1st each year. I also plan to alter the schedule length a bit, to make it a lot different. Until 1915 or so, the leagues will all play 140 games each season. This will mess with history even further but its my world, it will be what it will be.

In the NA/NL/MLB, I will handle all the changes, names and what not and expansion. In all other leagues (AA, PL, UA, FL and FBL-explained shortly-) changes will be made each season as they were during the real lifespan of the league. Once the league is to be defunct(they wont be shut down) I will activate the evolution for only expansion and names and that. The rest of it will be the same for each league.

There will be some issues expanding league in the beginning, especially for the NA/NL as it is often stuck with odd number of teams. This is worked around by adding a temp team, doing the expansion and then removing the temp team. This is necessary to make it a bit more realistic when getting players onto the new teams. If the temp team has to draft, those players will become free agents, just to keep it interesting.

There will be no minors for these leagues until sometime in the 1920s as it will overly tax my system and it is just that much more work. I am going to be playing in Commish mode and do not plan to take a team. The free agent pool will be shared but no associations will be made until maybe way in the future.

Settings for the most part will be default. There will be nothing special done for financials, reserve clause will be used for the original time of the league, but once evolution is set up in a league, free agency will begin too. Trading will be legal between all leagues.

I will do this on a yearly reporting. I will try to do a summary of each league, post each leagues final standings, hitting and pitching leaders and will do news reports for each league for pertinent news.

If I have forgotten anything or there are any questions, let me know. Hope yall enjoy, will be doing this one when I can along with my Cubs dynasty.
