CBBL,

This sounds awesome. Are you planning to play as a GM or is your enjoyment going to be to watch your vision unfold from a distance? I really like the premise of your story, and to be honest, you have way more of the specific details planned than when I do stuff like this. I use random.org a lot to tell me who is going to stay and who will fold or move. Then I create the story around it many times doing research into things that may have contributed to it. Having an already established plot line like you have is probably smarter and way more efficient, I just like random!

I'm out of town at a wedding this weekend so I do not have my gameplay notebook with me but I think I recall that if you care to keep the historical index of a league in tact in your game then you cannot delete the league. You can have zero games scheduled and have zero teams in it, but if you want the history, do not delete it. Like I said, I don't have my notes in front of me but I think I learned that the hard way one time. Maybe someone else could chime in and verify my claim.

If you were curious here is a link to a baseball-reference page that has all of the historically known major and minor leagues dating back to the early 1870's if you want to get a feel for just how much was out there. It is a pretty cool look. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/league.cgi

In closing. This sounds like a fantastic endeavor and would make a great dynasty report should you choose to write about it. Good Luck!
