For those who have done a historical sim starting in 1901:

Did anyone perform some of the player movement that came about when the owner of the Giants "purchased" the Orioles? For example, did you move McGraw from Orioles to Giants and the others as well? Also were you able to in the first place? From what I've read, the players moved sometime in July of 1902. Also, if you did do the moves were the results the same as it was in 1902 when the Orioles collapsed and dropped to the bottom of the AL standings?

Did you also make the changes that were made in the American League that were a result of the court order in Pennsylvania in regards to the players that used to be in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh? By this I mean did you move Lajoie from the Athletics to Cleveland as well as the other players that were involved?

brucem,

Your chronology timeline is very good. The name of the stadium that the Tigers moved to was first named Navin Field and then later renamed Briggs Stadium and then Tiger Stadium. Navin Field did not have the overhang in right until much later on when renovations were made.
