This looks rather amazing. I'll be watching. One thing though--you can't really make out any of the text on the images.

Fixed. When you click on the image now it will expand. I have to learn not to try and fit so much in a graphic.

Color me interested. I'm a fan of alternate histories, and catching a thread right as it's being put up looks like I won't have to play catch up with what looks to be a great story. Here's hoping you success with this!

Looking at your depth charts you have Maury Wills on two teams and Vida Pinson on two teams. Was this on purpose?
Nice write up tho. Very interesting.

I do love the PCL, I grew up a Tacoma fan in the early 70's

Yeah, caught that earlier this evening. Currently making corrections

Fixed !! 8:15pm EST

Since I got everything ready before OOTP 22 came out, I figured I'd at least start the season - then make moving the league to v22 my next priority after the 26th.

I've decided to report on the 1st and 15th of every game month - that will result in 12 reports to get through a season, plus a few more to do the off season.

This first report is 2 pages, but I suspect the length will grow as the season progresses and there is more narrative to write.

NOTE: Double-clicking on the page will increase the size and make it easier to read.

Well, let's see what the APCL might have looked like as a rebel league to the MLB... and I hope you enjoy it.

FIRST HALF OF APRIL

Harry Doyle · 03-20-2021, 10:43 AM

Couldn't help myself. Had to play out another 2 weeks

REMINDER: Click on the image twice to make bigger.

SECOND HALF OF APRIL

Love the way you present - clear and easy for reading.

KUTGW! I'll follow this closely.

Harry Doyle · 03-21-2021, 09:48 AM

With OOTP 22 coming out on Tuesday, it will probably be a few days before I get back to the APCL.

I thought, however, it would be interesting to include an actual real-life history of the players that win the monthly Batter and Pitcher Awards. Might give some "life" to players we watch toiling in the APCL

OrangeP47 · 03-21-2021, 10:13 AM

Yes, keep this feature up. Even if, down the road, one of the big names duplicates their real life success, side by side comparisons of this universe and what actually happened are always great.

Also Tuesday... I thought 22 came out next Friday.... whoops... oh well with a busy week next week I'm probably not going to be able to get to it until Friday anyway

A little progress bar to help with where we are and where we're going...

Is Al Lary related to Lyn Lary?

Nothing I found suggests so.

Just curious, they both played baseball.
