i keep tinkering with different set-ups (starting with Dead-ball era) ... used to manually add Negro League Players before 18 ... never seem to run out of new ideas to tweak something, so when i get a bit bored with one set up, i start over with something slightly different - or wildly different.
The new one just about got started is 1902 ML (16 traditional ML teams) then created a West Coast/West of Mississippi League (settled on Federal League name, but not certain why) 16 teams - as a separate Major League. (Made it into a template and brought it into the game). Created an association between leagues. Both leagues have 2 sets of minors (not historical). i enter the minor league rookies from a txt file, so hopefully i'll only run into a couple of duplicate names after a couple of years ...

we'll see how this goes. but point being, i just keep tinkering and altering formats and teams and minors and and - well i've been doing this for a while and i'm reaching 68 yrs and still wildly enthusiastic about the game. (Oh yeah, and real baseball too.)
