I was going to start my Northern Territories Baseball Association but the lack of a response to my request for logos and uniforms put that on hold, anyway I've decided to start the Cup of Coffee Baseball League
The Cup of Coffee Baseball League consists of the players that had just one moment in the sunshine, they may have only played one game in the majors but I bet everyone of us would have swapped places with them in that one moment in time. Some players became famous in that moment, one found himself not only being a cup of coffee player but also imortalised in book and film. Some even played on the same team in that same moment in time, one would play one game then found himself giving the ultimate sacrifice for his country. All the players played from the years 1901-2010, I didn't include players after 2010 simply because their dream of a second cup of coffee maybe still alive, I was going to include players before 1901 but found too many didn't have the years they played nor their full names so decided the start year would be 1901.
I'll not be taking over a team but will be drafting a team, the league will start with an inaugural draft, but because the lack of stats is a factor and simming x years to gain stats would defeat the object of the league. Anyway I've decided to draft players with a story or just what I would call a baseball name or shouts baseball to me an example being "Lefty", the league will be based in 1957 the year that imo baseball died a little when the Dodgers and Giants moved someone else came up with a line like that least I think they did
.
The rosters are a 25 man roster with a 16 man reserve roster, which after the inaugural draft left 11 players as free agents but hopefully they'll still get a shot at playing.
I intend on doing a write up for every player, those drafted in the first round will have their write ups done before the season starts the others during the season. The teams have been taken from the Pacific Coast League and Western Canada Baseball, so let the first round of the draft begin.
If you click on a players name this will take you to their baseball reference page, if you click on their full name it will take you to an article link if one exsists.
