For Love of the Game, a unique league based on the Negro Baseball Leagues needs one owner to take over the reigns of the Chicago American Giants. The owner felt he did not have enough time to manage the team.
In FLOG each team has an 18 year old superstar who once played in the Negro Leagues, and is now in the MLB Hall of Fame. Players like Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson are part of the league.
As mentioned, the Chicago American Giants are the team available, and their all-star
Hilton Smith has led his team to a 14-11 record in our first month of action. We sim twice a week (Wed/Sun), and finish one month every week. Tonight we have a 16 game sim. We have increased the sim pace so we can get more players in the minor leagues so more trading/activity can get done.
The player base is 90% fictional, with the 16 real hall of famers. Each year however, we will bring in 10 real Negro era players who made a difference in the game, including one new MLB Hall of Famer each year. Ernie Banks is slated to make his Negro League debut next year, as he is currently putting on a show in High School.
