1871-2013
I see it has become more popular than in years past to re-simulate history and share it with everyone. Oh well, here's my start and hope that you all find it interesting.
Every so often over the years, I’ve re-simulated major league baseball history and have posted it on this message board. I’ve done it again and have begun recording things. I started in 1871 and simulated through 2013. I created a AAA minor league to allow players to be on the teams off of the roster. I had a player draft to start the league off and every season during the offseason. Other rules such as expansion and playoff changes remained the same. We know the modern World Series didn’t come about until 1903 but I’ve decided to give the AL (or AA) and NL a chance to square off with one another for the World Series starting in 1871. In my sim, player ratings were based on neutralized statistics and players did not miss seasons or retire according to history. The only thing that really threw me for a loop was that for a couple of seasons when he was at his hitting best, Ted Williams decided to become a pitcher. I will continue to post on this thread my findings starting with a brief overview of the teams on this post. After this brief league overview I will post statistical leaders and team overviews. I encourage any questions about teams/players/years. Would enjoy answering them and sending screen shots if I can. Championships (playoff appearances in parenthesis) 1. Oakland Athletics (PHI, KC) – 14 (21) 2. Baltimore Orioles (STL, LOU,MIL,STL) – 13 (27) 3. New York Yankees (BAL) – 12 (33) 4. Philadelphia Phillies – 12 (29) 5. Boston Red Sox – 10 (22) 6. Pittsburgh Pirates - 8 (28) 7. Chicago White Sox – 8 (24) 8. Cleveland Indians – 8 (16) 9. San Francisco Giants (NY) – 6 (22) 10. Detroit Tigers – 6 (16) 11. Atlanta Braves (BOS) – 5 (25) 12. Los Angeles Dodgers (BKN) – 5 (24) 13. Minnesota Twins (WAS) – 5 (16) 14. St. Louis Cardinals – 4 (20) 15. Cincinnati Reds – 4 (15) 16. San Diego Padres 4 (11) 17. Los Angeles Angels (CAL, ANA) – 4 (9) 18. Texas Rangers (WAS) – 3 (14) 19. Seattle Mariners – 3 (13) 20. Chicago Cubs – 2 (13) 21. New York Mets – 2 (11) 22. Arizona Diamondbacks – 1 (8) 23. Toronto Blue Jays – 1 (8) 24. Washington Nationals (MON) – 1 (8) 25. Colorado Rockies – 1 (5) 26. Milwaukee Brewers (SEA) – 1 (3) 27. Houston Astros – 0 (6) 28. Kansas City Royals – 0 (5) 29. Miami Marlins (FLO) – 0 (4) 30. Tampa Bay Rays – 0 (4) Best Team to be a fan of: It Depends if you value going to the postseason or winning a high percentage of championships compared to postseason appearances. But of the teams with double digit rings, only two never moved around, the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies, perhaps making it easier to root for a team that stays in one spot. Worst Team to be a fan of: Poor Cubs. The Brewers had it rough for the amount of time they were in the league as well. Most successful expansion franchise: San Diego Padres Last edited by HonusCobb; 10-02-2014 at 09:02 AM. |

Most Outstanding Hitter Award
Since ootp does not give MVP's to pitchers, I just left the name of the MVP award, the "most outstanding hitter award. Every player listed has at least 4 MVPs.
Babe Ruth (CHC) - 9 Dan Brouthers (STL, LOU) - 7 - Baltimore Orioles organization Rogers Hornsby (SLA)* - 7 - Baltimore Orioles organization Ted Williams (CLE) - 7 Elmer Flick (CHW) - 6 Lou Gehrig (CLE) - 6 Dick Allen (NYM) - 6 Barry Bonds (NYM, CHW) - 6 Nap Lajoie (STL) - 5 Mel Ott - (PHI) - 5 Alex Rodriguez (COL, FLA, DET) - 5 Miguel Cabrera (PIT) - 5 Ed Delahanty (DET) - 4 Mike Donlin (NY, STL)* - 4 - New York Giants Honus Wagner (CLE) - 4 Ty Cobb (PHI) - 4 - Philadelphia Athletics Jimmie Foxx (STL) - 4 Johnny Mize (CHW) - 4 Al Rosen (PIT) - 4 Ruth got 9 MVPs but the Cubs had a really hard time giving him much help. They managed to get to the world series in 1923 and Ruth's last year of 1940 (40 plate appearances that season). They won neither time. |

You'll see what Hornsby is inaccurately in a Baltimore Orioles uniform. This is what OOTP does with any teams that have moved while remaining the same franchise with the same records and all that.
But these are our single season and career batting average leaders. |

Hmm, not to sidetrack your thread, but in my game, which is currently in 1963, Cobb shows up in a Braves uniform from when he played. I have no idea why mine is showing up different then yours

Does it work that way with just Cobb? Does it do that with other retired players? I've noticed that at least one of my players is in his hold uniform as well. Babe Herman is in his Cinncinnati Redlegs uniform rather than the regular Reds one.

Hits - Single Season - Career
You'll see some of the same names pop up here that popped up in batting average.
Single Season 1. 1921 - Rogers Hornsby (STL Browns) - 271 2. 2000 - Manny Ramirez (COL) - 263 3. 2000 - Vladimir Guerrero (KCR) - 261 4. 1993 - Paul Molitor (SEA) - 259 5. 1999 - Alex Rodriguez (COL) - 258 6. 1930 - Mel Ott (PHI) - 254 7. 1894 - Ed Delahanty (DET) - 253 8. 1912 - Home Run Baker (PHI) - 247 9. 1930 - Babe Herman (CIN) - 245 10. 1895 - Ed Delahanty (DET) - 244 Career 1. 1915 - 1941 - Rogers Hornsby (STL Browns) - 4,308 2. 1905 - 1926 - Ty Cobb (PHI A's) - 3,801 3. 1908 - 1934 - Joe Jackson (NY Giants, PIT, CIN) - 3,744 4. 1954 - 1976 - Hank Aaron (BOS) - 3,722 5. 1994 - 2013 - Alex Rodriguez (COL, FLO, DET, HOU, NYM) - 3,649 6. 1926 - 1948 - Mel Ott (PHI) - 3.593 7. 1982 - 2001 - Tony Gwynn (BAL, LAD, CHW, TOR, TEX, MIL, PHI, STL, LAA) - 3,574 8. 1978 - 2001 - Paul Molitor (MIN, BAL, DET, NYY, SEA, CLE, STL, PIT, LAD) - 3,567 9. 1941-1963 - Stan Musial (CLE) - 3,548 10. 1906 - 1931 - Eddie Collins (STL, PHI A's) - 3,491 Yeah, a little ridiculous that Gwynn and Molitor both played for 9 different teams. But one of my favorite seasons is Molitor's 1993 season which was his only one for Seattle and he had 259 hits. |

Team Overviews
Now I'm going to start with team overviews. If at any point you have any questions unrelated to where I'm at with the teams feel free to ask it. I'm going to start with the teams with the fewest championships (and playoff appearances) and work my way up.

Their pitchers included Jamie Moyer (18-11 with a 4.07 ERA) and Joe Magrane (15-13 with a 3.80 ERA). Best Hitter: 1991-1998 Jeff Bagwell - Willie Stargell had a really good long career in Houston but Bagwell's peak seasons were superior. In franchise history he finished 1st in batting average (.312), OBP (.412), Slugging Percentage (.554), and VORP (571.4). He won 2 of his three MVPs with the Astros in 1996 and 1997. His best season was in 97 when he hit .326/.452/.600 with 190 hits, 48 doubles, 36 homeruns, 104 RBIs, and 27 stolen bases. In Houston, he made the all-star team 7 times.
