Spring training/regular season overlap

Rondell Tate · 09-22-2008, 09:11 PM

I'm playing a historical league started in 1960 as the Cubs, set to auto-expand. In 1962, I had a double-header on Opening Day, which I thought was pretty weird. The first game was the first game of the regular season in Houston against the expansion Colt .45s. The second game was in Chicago, also against Houston. I burned up my No. 2 starter and pretty much screwed my pitching staff for the first two weeks of the season trying (successfully) to win the second game so I wouldn't start the year 0-2 before I noticed it was actually the last game of the preseason. Then I started the year 0-2 on the second day of the season.

That's a bit odd. I presume the game was set up as a create historical league, so it should be using the default schedule. Odd that nobody else has reported it?

Yeah, it was/is a historical league.
I had to replace the Single A league due to the "wrong number" of players glitch reported elsewhere, but otherwise it got through the previous season just fine.
I'm assuming the funky sked has to do w/ the increase in NL games from 154 to 162 as the league expanded. Confused the heck out of me.

As there hasn't been any update on this issue and the OP seems to say that the problem has resolved itself, this thread will be closed for housekeeping purposes.
