Thanks for sharing, I'm replaying MLB history from 1893 on (chose that year since it was then that the pitchers mound was moved from 50 ft to its current 60 ft 6 in.
So far I'm up to 1910. It's cool to see guys like Dimaggio, Aaron, Mike Trout, Barry Bonds and others active in the "dead ball" era.
One thing I'll be interested to see is how certain father/son combinations did, and more importantly, how does the son compare with the dad when the son's career was actually earlier? (e.g. Barry Bonds is already in my league, but I don't think Bobby Bonds has shown up yet).
Have you found anything interesting in your league re: fathers and sons, particularly when both were outstanding real life players in their time?
Also, what about brothers who ended up playing in different eras?
Thanks!
