I will continue this league, but a little less regularly. But what I like is its history - it has become a real world, with its own records. I love that aspect, and it is really the first time that I have built a baseball world and had the patience to follow it through. So I won't let go of it, and do please keep checking in when you see new posts here.

One great aspect is the all-time home run competition between Frank Robinson and Ted Williams.

At the end of the 1921 season, 21 seasons in, it stands:

Frank Robinson 614
Ted Williams 608

Corey Seager in third place has 473.

Fun no? How could I leave a league like this. What will happen when Babe Ruth and Henry Aaron, Willie Mays and Barry Bonds arrive?

Ken Griffey Jr., Mickey Mantle and Ron Santo all are between 27 and 28 years old. Junior has 381, Mantle 351, and Santo 338.

But again, this seems too many, too fast. It should have taken decades for all these stars to show up and I wonder if I did not mess things up with my radical expansion, intended to thin out the talent, but neglecting the consequence of larger overall draft pools for 24 teams.

Oh well. Still fun.
