The National League dawned in 1876, which is when the first year of Vintage League Baseball will take place. We'll be starting with original 8 NL teams and an inaugural draft and proceeding throughout baseball history from there, so this is a great chance to get in on the ground floor!
I'll be managing the Hartford Dark Blues, so there are 7 teams available:
- Boston Red Stockings
- Chicago White Stockings
- Cincinnati Reds
- Louisville Grays
- New York Mutuals
- Philadelphia Athletics
- St. Louis Brown Stockings
Format: Historical
Players: Historical
Financials: Enabled. We'll be playing w/ modern financial & roster rules from the get-go, including 2012 CBA rules, though salaries and all other financial dollar amounts will be reflective of 1876.
Coaching: Disabled
Scouting: Disabled
Minor Leagues: Eventually as we progress and minor leagues are formed, we'll incorporate them into the game and affiliate them accordingly.
Website: I'm unsure whether I'll be able to have the time to build a feature-rich league website, but here are the league reports for now:

If you have any questions or are interested in building your team on the ground floor from the first year of the National League, please PM me.
Thanks, and look forward to competing with you!
