Very nice Henry. I assume this will be another solo league for you?

Henry · 02-19-2003, 10:39 PM

Not sure - thinking about making it online if I can get solid owners.

Not that you are...looking for owners, but if you do....I'd like in if you decide do an online league....Portland is my hometown and all

Wow, as I was reading it my stomach dropped. I have something very similar along those lines in the works! Scary!

Good job, Henry.

Nice........I'm interested.

That's a really cool league idea. I did something similar in a solo league once, but it was not nearly as well thought out as that.

A question... Would it be an entirely fictional league for good, or would real players show up at some point, having never entered the major league system?

You have both the Washington Senators and the Minnesota Twins in the Continental League. What happened to the Senators/Twins from the American League?

I'd join and take over the KC Royals.

Um...I have never participated in an online league, but if that isnt an instant disqualification I would be interested. Ive made stabs at recreating the PCL and alt-historying it into a tri-league MLB, but always run afoul of the sheer time demands and the need for effective work-arounds for various lapses in either OOTP or myself.
One particular brain freeze for me was how to set up a viable round-robin type of WS. I usually caved to the pressure and added enough wild cards ( though VERY reluctantly ) to enable the more traditional balanced playoff scenarios. Anybody have any input on how a real-world tri-league championship might look?

Depends on how much data I could get from the 1961 PCL rosters. I'd like to put those players in a draft, then come up with a scheme to split the new rookies each year between the NABC and MLB - maybe something as simple as "evens" to the NABC and "odds" to the MLB.

My error, the team should be the Buffalo Bisons... I think I got confused getting this ready since Minneapolis asked for a team in the Continental League as well. I would rather let the Senators move to Minneapolis and give the new CL team to Washington DC.

In the early years, the NABC will not meet the MLB for any overall championship series. I'd like to play-out the Press on being an "outlaw" league for awhile. Besides, I'd actually have to have a running MLB in parallel under the alternate universe to make that really feasible.
