Ok.. Lets try this "Historic League"

If I can find enough interest (please do not say yes if you cannot commit) I know things happen but if you are in 100 leagues and have no time this may be tough...

I would like to start a "Historic" League - It will start in 1901 - It will consist of the teams as existed in 1901 as well as the rosters of such teams... The difference I propose is this.. You may trade, sign free agents, waiver claims and all that other happy horsestuff - BUT THERE WILL BE NO MANAGER DRAFT.. Meaning that each season I will import the rookies of that season TO THE REAL TEAMS - where each manager can deal with them as they like... Kind of a different concept...

I will require each owner interested to own OOTP 6 as I want to do this as imports and exports....

One thing to bear in mind is that I am importing the league as it stands.. So most of these guys will have some stats and age - For example CY Young will be 34 and allready have around 200 wins - So it will be authentic from that perspective....

First year draft will be 1902 with the actual rookies from that season

There will be 15 open spots as I will take Pittsburgh, The open spots are:

Philadelphia Phillies
Brooklyn Superbas
St. Louis Cardinals
Boston Beaneaters
Chicago Orphans
New York Giants
Cincinnati Reds

Chicago White Sox
Boston Americans
Detroit Tigers
Philadelphia Athletics
Baltimore Orioles
Washington Senators
Cleveland Blues
Milwaukee Brewers

If I can get enough people wanting to seriously do this I will set it up here in the next week and we will roll..... If you want to know who was on what roster in 1901 (to help u choose) go here: http://www.retrosheet.org/ and look under boxscores for 1901

Any takers can e-mail me at t_armer@yahoo.com
