Wallman Utility Question

targy · 10-12-2002, 03:37 PM

I started a league in 1977 and the Anaheim Angels are of course known as the California Angels...I have tried in 1997 to change their name to the Anaheim Angels. The first time I changed their name and intials and the utility would not let me do that....The second time I started in 1977 using the name California and the initials ANA and in 1997 changed their name to Anahiem but kept the initials as ANA and again when i parsed the new year it prompted me for new initials again and it would not work, any suggestions or do I have to keep the clubs name at Anaheim starting in 1997.....

I forgot to add that I know that expansion is a big problem and so I decided to not do any expansions and keep teams the same as in 1977

I havent had much done in the way of name changes or expansions, but when I changed the Chicago White Stockings to the WhiteSox and the Boston Beaneaters to the Boston Doves, the Wallman util asked for the team abbreviation again. I think it does this becuase it notices a new team name, but if you keep the same abbreviation, it will treat it as the same team, jus twith a different name.
