I have now added two new leagues to this dynasty. Major League Baseball and the North American Baseball Association, in fact.
Both were created here as fictional leagues so I might better be able to control certain things. Things such as team relocations and/or renamings, for example.
Major League Baseball will start out with the following teams for the 1876 season, after some consideration about where to place various teams for its two subleagues, the American Association and the National Association. They will eventually become the American and National Leagues, come 1901.
American Association:
Baltimore Silver Moons (Future Washington Senators)
Buffalo Bisons (Future Detroit Tigers)
Fort Wayne Chiefs (Future Cleveland Indians)
Hartford Dark Blues (Future New York Yankees)
St. Paul Saints (Future Chicago White Sox)
Troy Haymakers (Future Philadelphia Athletics)
Virginia Squires (Future St. Louis Browns)
Worcester Ruby Legs (Future Boston Red Sox)
National Association:
Boston Revolution (Future Boston Braves)
Brooklyn Atlantics (Future Brooklyn Dodgers)
Chicago Colts (Future Chicago Cubs)
Cincinnati Vigilants (Future Cincinnati Reds)
Manchester Monarchs (Future New York Giants)
Philadelphia Centennials (Future Philadelphia Phillies)
Pittsburgh Miners (Future Pittsburgh Pirates)
Springfield Bluebirds (Future St. Louis Cardinals)
As usual, the North American Baseball Association will start with these teams in its Union League:
Augusta Colonials
Birmingham Stallions
Boston Pilgrims
Brooklyn Robins
Charleston Miners
Kentucky Colonels
Nashville Blue Sox
Washington Generals
I have most, if not all, needed items for them now in use. So no need for me to request items for any of these teams for some time, I think.
All three leagues will play 154-game schedules for the foreseeable future, I believe. We probably will not see another league created before the 1880-81 off-season, to be honest. At least not in North America, anyway, that is.
The two new human managers will manage the Bluebirds and the Generals. Folliston's GM/Manager will continue to run the Scholars. I will give at least a basic rundown of the history so far for each of the previously-created teams in the near future. Please watch this thread for more information as possible and all. Thank you.
