Now, I see nothing as far as historicals in the Online League forums besides the random 90s back to 70s league. Does no one have any interest in the years that truly made baseball great anymore? Has the user base of this game become so young that the interest just isn't there anymore for historicals back before the 50s? I believe that to be the reason, but wanted to hear others' ideas on why historical leagues aren't done anymore.
Asahi3 does a random debut with all seasons in the database. For me, a guy who grew up in the 80's, I very much enjoy reading and learning about the average guys from the early 20th century and before. We have several members of Asahi3 who are great scholars on baseball so they usually are able to point us in the direction of good stories.
