New Historical League about to begin needs 3

[mandersen]

THE Golden Age of Baseball is a project that has been in the works for nearly 4 months. After a few attempts at other online historical leagues, which I mostly found unfulfilling due to their historical inaccuracies, I decided to make what I hope will be the most historically accurate online league in ootp. In most historic leagues that use the Ankits or Lahman Data Base, amateur players are introduced to the game in the year they APPEARED in the major leagues, rather than the year they were actually drafted. They also appear either major league ready, or near major league ready. All of which leads to a not very "real" experience. After looking for ways around this, I've decided that each year, we will "create" the real life ammy's in the year they were actually drafted. In order to do this and not miss any players I, (with much help might I add) went back through the 1972-1977 drafts and added all the players who were in major league systems but who HAD NOT reached the majors by 1977. These players would have been introduced in later years in most historical leagues, but in GABL, they are found in the minor league systems in which they belong. Significant players such as Paul Molitor, Ozzie Smith, Tim Raines, Alan Trammell, Rickey Henderson, Jack Morris, Wade Boggs, Lee Smith, Dale Murphy, Rick Sutcliffe, Willie Wilson were all added to their actual teams minor league systems. This league was assembled on an invitation only basis with only owners that I had played in other sim leagues with and are what I consider to be the true "best of the best" of ootp. I look forward to many exciting sim seasons as we recreate a little bit of history. And hopefully I can end the Cubs curse a little earlier than...............who knows. I guess it still hasn't ended. Welcome to GABL. Now, Lets Get it ON!!!

After trying to keep this invitation only, I have 3 spots to fill and we're starting on Monday Oct. 18. You can find the league at www.goldenageofbaseball.com. The league constitution is up, forums are up, official league file is up, ootp standings page is up. We need an owner for the White Sox, the Mets and the expansion Mariners. It's an ootp5 league and you must own the game. We will be simming on a 7/8/7 schedule with 3 sims per week. There are very specific rules in the constitution which for the most part are basic, with a few twists. If it looks to be something that interests you, take a look at the constitution and either IM me at AndersenMat or email me at mandersen@gotucson.com.
