Sign-Up Thread for 'The Completely Fictional History of Baseball'

legendsport · 05-01-2007, 10:20 AM

This is the official sign-up thread for reader-created players for 'The Completely Fictional History of Baseball' dynasty.

Here's how it will work:

Create your player and I will add him to the list below. Simply fill out the information below - making sure to fill in all the needed info - and when the time comes, your player will be among the pool of players debuting.

One note: The player's age at debut will play a role in how developed he is. Younger guys will almost definitely have to start off in the minors, older guys might have a chance at a higher level. If a player is 17 or 18, he'll be assumed to have come out of HS, if he's 19-22, he'll be a college man. Older than 22? Coming out of an industrial or semi-pro league.

Another note: I will be 'implanting' your info on top of one of the game-created players to keep things simple. I will also likely create a downloadable excel sheet, similar to what Matt did with his ancestors list in TWB.

Since the CFHOB will include Cuba, Mexico, Japan, the Negro Leagues, the minors, etc, your player may not start off in the bigs - or play in the bigs at all (especially if you create a Negro Leaguer during the segregation era).

Eventually, the CFHOB will become an online league, probably not before 1901, allowing us to have 30+ years of history built in beforehand. The league will have a website, most likely starting with the 1871 season.

Here's the information you'll need to complete to create your future Hall-of-Famer*

Our first created player: Clifford Campbell

A member of the Chicago White Stocking Club, Clifford Campbell is expected to provide solid defense and a sturdy bat for the Windy City's base ball professionals. The Canadian-born Campbell has quickly earned a reputation for having steady hands afield, fleet feet between the bases, and has earned a nickname - 'Scot' - for his Scottish background.

Will Campbell help lead the White Stocking Club to the first champion's title in the fledging National Association of Professional Base Ball Players? With the season at hand, the answer shall soon be revealed.
