Phoenix/Minneapolis

Austin/San Antonio

Yes, they're both in Texas. I don't care. I'm a Texas boy.

You obviously need to expand to Canada. Vancouver in the Pacific Division and Toronto in the Great Lakes.

So my first question would be, are you only adding two teams? Are you planning on doing the expansion in one league or the other or one team to each? It will give you odd numbers so that could be a little off.

If you are staying local, put on in Hawaii and one in Puerto Rico. Opposite sides of the country but could be interesting to have teams there.

Gonna add two teams to one league and then in like 5-10 years add two teams to the other league.

Washington and San Jose

Being biased, Toronto to either Great Lakes or NorthEast depending on the league you choose.

Then either San Diego to the Pacific or Cincinnati to Mid Atlantic

why not create what the MLB has been thinking of doing is having a few teams in Mexico and other areas in the Gulf of Mexico region to link up with MLB...... they toyed with that idea a few years back with including Mexico City. Something happened to stop them from going too far forward with this idea. I think its more of an issue of the neighborhood and safety of players at the time.

r0nster · 05-27-2013, 11:39 PM

my point is why not make a division of latin American teams.

Klew1986 · 05-28-2013, 12:02 AM

I've decided on San Jose in the Pacific Division and Phoenix in the Southwest Division

If you're using interleague, this is a pretty good schedule to use. If you're not, you can just let the OOTP schedule generator do its thing.

I have some great San Jose Sharks jerseys by Irrecula and I use Coyotes jerseys by Gern for Phoenix. Let me know if you want either.

r0nster · 05-28-2013, 06:53 AM

San Jose Islanders would be one name you could choose or waverunners

PhillieFever · 05-28-2013, 09:32 AM

Brooklyn/Toronto or Buffalo

r0nster · 05-28-2013, 09:42 AM
