Le Grande Orange Minor League Schedules

[Outlaw Jim]

I want to thank Le Grande Orange for posting a large collection of minor league schedules. I was able to create spreadsheets to create OOTP format schedules from the text files. I have compiled 81 schedules to date and will post them in zip files. I still have the PCL, IL and AA to do but will be done within a week or two with them. I will be happy to do more if Le Grande Orange posts more collections to the minor league schedule thread. It takes me less than 10 minutes to convert the text to lsdl files.

I posted these here because these schedules are pretty cool and can be used for leagues other than minor leagues. Great for fictional leagues.

I will post other schedule in groups of 25 or so lsdl files zipped. Each schedule also has the BBRef link for that season which shows the stats and players playing that season.

Fantastic work, Jim! Thanks so much for this.

One small request: could you post a basic list of the schedules, giving the year, league name, and number of divisions, teams, and games? Something along these lines:

2017 American League 3-15-162

Thanks!

No problem I will make a list as time permits.

How about I have the league and year with the sched type from the file, this will give the league structure and games, as well as IL and BG?

Something like this:

American Association.......1931.........ILN_BGY_G168_SL1_D1 _T8
Carolina League...............1966.........ILN_BGY_G140_SL1 _D1_T5_D2_T6

That would be great. It'll help me tremendously when I add the schedules to the updated list, and it will assist everyone when searching for an appropriate schedule.

Okay I will do it like this - Also for your reference, each file has comments from the text file as well as the link to BBRef to see the season. An external list will be a great addition.

Here is the top of one schedule with the first day of games:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<SCHEDULE type="ILN_BGY_G168_T8_C_" inter_league="0" balanced_games="1" games_per_team="168" start_month="4" start_day="19" start_day_of_week="5">

I have an update of additional schedules from the LGO minor league collection. This update has 25 American Association schedules from 1960-1997. I will start on the International League next (65 schedules) and the last group I have will be the Pacific Coast League (90 schedules)

Per user request here are the schedules for the 1977 IL and 1977 PCL

[Outlaw Jim]

Since someone requested the 1977 season, I have converted the IL years 1977-2004, all seasons included. The game has 2005-2017 so this will give you the last 41 seasons.

I am doing the PCL 1977-2004 starting tomorrow, I am missing a few schedules but have 38 out of the 41 schedules.

So here is the International league 1977-2004:
