Can a historical league mimic real life as it is today?

An interesting question and the answer to it is a resounding yes.

Like Major League Baseball, the ACL has been around for many seasons. It has a long and storied history. You could sit back and hear the oldtimers tell stories from the days of yore. You can hear about such names as Koufax, Robinson, Bagwell, and Musial.

You can follow the current exploits of players with names like Ruth, Williams, Mantle, Bonds, and Wagner.

But the biggest similarity right now between the ACL and MLB is that neither of us has an Expos owner. For some reason, we cannot get one. Some call, few answer. If another team comes open, there is no problem. But the Expos? Sacre bleu!

The Expos are a franchise in need of leadership. They do not have to be the dogs of summer (and spring, and fall, and winter). With the right manager they can claw their way back into the thick of things and regain the glory that was Rogers, Carter, Raines, and others.

If you can handle the weather, the language, and the challenge, drop me a line (email commish link on the site) and take over this team that cries out in the night for someone to love it.
