Into 2 Leagues, 2 Divisions Per League, 18 Teams Per Division?

I Am Trying To Set Up a ALL-Time Greatest Teams Leagues Universe.
If That Is Too ManY Teams Per League, That Is OK,---JusT GivE Me The CommanD/Steps I Need To TakE, In Order To Set Up ThE
Leagues' Structure, And Then HoW To PopuLate Them, With The
Historical Teams.

Thank You VerY Much, For Any Help, you can Give Me.

Go To Edit League Structure in game options. Add your historical teams then Move/Add/Delete as needed.

......, Thanks FoR The Help Mr Fritze!!!
I GoT It RuNNing,---For a WhILe.
I Had a 64 Team League, With 32 TeaMS, In Both The AMerican League,
AnD ThE NationaL. TheY Were DisPersed InTO 4 (8 Team DiviSions,)
In BotH LEagues.
It Froze Up On Me, After the HaLfWaY PoinT, Of 81 Games, When There
Was a DrafT GoinG On.
I Don't WanT Any Drafts, Minor Leaguues, Trades, SaLary Issues, Or Messages, Etc,
I JusT WanT ThE BesT TEams Of ALL-Time, PLaying EacH Other, JusT As Their RosTer's Were, During The Season, I StiPuLated.
A CouPLe More Screw-Up's Were ThE StatS Were WAAAY Out Of ProPortion, In The NatioNaL League, Like Ryan Howard Was LEading The NL With 68 HR's, After 81 Games, AnD UtLey Was 2nd With 61!!!
The American League Stats, On The Other Hand, Were VerY BeLieveAbLe.
Another Issue Was PLayer's On Teams, They Didn't BeLonG,
Like For ExamPLe, Denny McLain PitChinG For 1946 BosToN, Instead Of 1968 Detroit,
AnD AuBReY HuFF PLaying First Base, For The 1961 YaNKee's, Instead
Of Big BiLL "Moose" SkowRon. This Kind Of ThinG Was RamPanT, In BOTH LEagues.

Does AnyOne Have Any Suggestions, On How To ALLeviate These ProBLems?

Thank You Very Much.

......, This ImportinG ThinG, Is a SLoW ProCess!!! I HavE 21 Of My
72 Teams Imported So Far. I Decided To Go With 8 (9-Team DiviSions,)
This Time, Rather Than The 64 Teams, That I Used, The LasT Time.
I Had SeveraL Teams, ThaT Missed The CutOff, The Last Time.
I Also WanTed To RePreSenT EacH FranChise, With At Least One Team,
AnD GeT As ManY Of The All-Time Greats (PLaYeR's,) Of The Game InVoLved,
On at Least One TeaM, As PossiBLe. If I Ever GeT This ThinG GoinG RighT, I WiLL Let You ALLL KnoW, How It Turned OuT!!!
ThAnXXX Again!!!

......, Looks Like I WiLL Be InCReaSing The Team Size From 72 To 80,
As I Keep ThinKing Of PLayEr'S, Who Are Not RepresenTed, In The
72, Like Roger CLemens, Honus WagNer, And George SisLer For 3!!!
80 WiLL Have To Be Tops Though, No Matter What. That WouLd Be
4 (10-Team Divisions,)---In BotH The AL, AnD ThE NL.

......, I Haven'T Left Or ForGot You GuY's!!! I FinaLLY Got The League SeT, The WaY I WanT It. Now I Am DoinG The HARD Part,---Setting Up
ALL The Lineups, And PitchinG Staffs. That Is Very Time ConSuming,
And I Haven't Had a WhoLe Lot Extra, Of ThaT CoMMoDity LatelY,-Time,
That Is. Out Of 80 Teams, I Am Currently WorKinG On The 1966 L.A.
Dodger's. You Wouldn't BeLieve The Condition, These Teams Are In,
With a Bunch Of NO-Name Role PLaYer's, In The Starting Lineup. I Wondered Why The 1961 N.Y. Yankee's PLayed So TerriBLY, In a Trial Run
I Had, Without ANY Tinkering, With The Lineups. ManTLe, Berra, And
Skowron, Were ALL Bench Subs!!! Whitey Ford Was The #4 Starter,
Even Though He Was 25-3 That Season, And 2 Other Starter's Were Manned By ReLieF Pitcher's!!! Un-BelieveAble!!!
SOOO, I Have a LOT Of Wok Ahead Of Me, Before I Can Start This ThinG Up, With ALL The Teams, With Their ReguLar Lineups, AnD Pitching
Rotations, In Order.
The 1966 Orioles Won The World Series, 4 Games To 2, Over ThE
1927 Pirates, By The Way, In The TRiaL Run, With NO TinKering,
Of The Lineups.
I Will Keep You Guys Updated.

......, I Got My First SeaSon (With Everyone's LineUps, And Pitching Staff's, Put In Order,) ALMosT ComPLeteLY Finished!!! In The AmerIcan League, The 1961 Yankee's Beat The 2001 SeaTTLe Mariner's, 4 Games
To 3, While The 1966 Dodger's Beat The 1998 Atlanta Braves, 4 Games
To 3, Also. So, It WiLL Be The 61 Yanks, And 66 Dodger's, In The WoRLd Series. One Of The Season's HighLights Was ThE Hitting Streaks, Of 3 Different PLayer's. First, Roberto CLemente Had a 60 Game Hitting Streak, For The 1960 Pirates, And 9 Games Later, PauL Waner (Of The 1927 Pirates,) Had His 63 Game Streak Stopped. MeanWhile, Ty Cobb Of The
1915 Tiger's, Had his Streak Stopped At 55 Games, On The Last Day, Of The Regular Season. George SisLer Of The 1922 St. Louis Browns, LeD The
AL, With a .421 Average, While Lefty O'Doul Led The NL, With a .413
Average. ManTLe Of The 61 Yanks, Led The AL, With 54 Hr's, FoLLowed By WiLLie Horton
Of The 1968 Tiger's, With 50, Rocky Colavito Of The 1961 Tiger's,
Had 49, As Did Maris, Of The 1961 Yanks. WiLLie Mays (Of The 1965 Giants,) Led ThE NL, With
37 Hr's, Followed By Lee May Of 1970 Cincy, With 35, And Darryl StrawBerry Of the 1986 Mets, With 35, And Mays AnD McCovey, Of The
1962 Giants, With 34 Round-Tripper's Apiece.
I Will Let ya' Know, How ThE "World Series" Turns Out.

BD#9 · 07-07-2009, 11:35 AM

......, I ComPLeted The World Series, And The 1966 L.A. Dodger's
Defeated The 61 Yanks, By a Count Of 4 Games To 2!!! CLaude Osteen Got The Series Clinching Win, In Game 6, By a Score, Of 8-3, In a Route
Going PerforMance. CLaude Won 2 Games In The Series, And Was The
Series Pitching Star. Wes Parker Led The Way in Hitting, With a .452 Average, 2 Hr's, And 7 Rbi's, Followed By Tommy Davis With a .398 Average, 3 Hr's, 7 Rbi's, And Jim Lefebvre With a .375 Average, 2 Hr's,
And 5 Ribbies. Mantle Led The Yanks, With a .390 Average, 5 Hr's,
And 12 Rbi's, And Elston Howard With a .375 Average, 2 Hr's, And 8 Rbi's.
So, That Makes (2) Teams From 1966, The NL Champ Dodger's, And The World Series Champ Orioles, That Have Won, My First 2 Season's,
Of 80 Great Teams, From 1900, To The Present. The Orioles Won The
Trial Run, (First Season,) With No Tinkering Of Lineups, Or Pitching Staffs, And Now With
The Lineups, And Pitching Staffs Put In Order, The 1966 Dodger's Prevail,
In The Second Season.
Jim Palmer Of The 1969 Orioles, Won The "Triple Crown" Of Pitching,
During This Season, With a 3.15 E.R.A., 22 Wins, And 234 K's.
That E.R.A. Was a Bit High, For a League Champ, And I Noticed, That The E.R.A.'s Were a Bit High, Across The Board, ParticuLarLY, In The AL.
I WiLL Be Tinkering With That, Before Starting, The Next Season Starts,
And I Have The FeelinG, That It May Be Somewhat ReLated, To The
Fielding Ratings.
AnyHoW, I Will Keep You Guy's Posted!!!
Keep On, Keepin' On!!!
