No problem, just wanted to mention it for future consideration. The biggest difference between major and minor league schedules is that minor league ones are very time-compressed, meaning they play their seasons in a much shorter amount of time.

This would have some impact on the game with regards to things like fatigue and pitcher usage since there are far fewer off days than in a major league schedule. I expect it would make some difference in how an OOTP season would play or sim out.

Trying to do for the minors what I did for the majors is a vast project, so it'll probably be a few years before it's all done. Mind you, I have made some progress to this point. The current tally of minor league season schedules typed up:

57 Pacific Coast League, 34 International League, 21 American Association, 11 Texas League, 7 Southern League, 3 Western League, 2 Eastern League, 2 Southern Association, 1 Carolina League, 1 Midwest League, and 1 Western International League. I also have the 1900 American League season, when it was still classified as a minor league.

Haven't been doing many lately, but I hope to return to my target of typing up one schedule per day. Only takes around 30-40 minutes to do, so it's relatively quick to accomplish.
