If you have aspirations in running HH club, you will now move to that position from the PCL independent league made up of our waiting list guys.
We need a couple more WL folks to fill the PCL for the 1922 season. |

Good times in Hardball Heroes!
The inaugural season is winding down. It's been a great year and if it is any indication of what to expect from this league, we're in for a wild ride! Cooley does a great job as commish with the standard treatments you would expect from an OOTP league, but It is his go-above-and-beyond attitude that really brings the league to life. He has a great story brewing behind the scenes and there is plenty of owner written material as well to set your eyes on. The PCL is set to begin play as a farm system of sorts for prospective HH GMs. Test your mettle before getting the call to the big show! Be sure to check this league out, even if only to follow along.

Johnson Announces Integration Decisions
This reporter has received an early press release from the office of Bancroft Johnson, commissioner of Hardball Heroes centering on the subject of recent 'non caucasian' applicants for admittance into Hardball Heroes. What follows is the text of that release:
------------------------------- From the office of Bancroft Johnson, Hardball Heroes SUBJECT: Free Agent Applications Received Our office has went over all applicants for free agency in Hardball Heroes. 20 of 23 applications were accepted. 11 will enter as free agents while 9 will enter via the amateur draft due to their ages. 3 were denied based on the player's age as it is deemed their ability to compete with those already in Hardball Heroes is not as desired by the league. Those accepted are as follows: Free Agent Applications Accepted: Oscar Charleston, 26 (CF/1B) - For a player of his size with his tremendous power, Charleston is a skilled base runner and a threat to steal bases. Writers dub Charleston as “The Black Ty Cobb.” Those who play with him insist that Charleston is far superior defensively than Cobb and possesses far more power than the Georgia Peach. Andy Cooper, 26 (LHSP) - Called "Lefty", Cooper is a solid left-handed hurler with a good fastball and great command of the changeup. Great endurance and control are other attributes possessed. Bingo DeMoss, 33 (2B) - One of the best 2B around. Quick in the field and on the basepaths, DeMoss is also a consistent, line drive hitter. Solid eye at the plate with a consistent average. Dizzy Dismukes, 32 (RHSP) - Submariner with excellent smarts with regard to batters' tendancies. Possesses a variety of breaking balls and is known as a trick artist. John Henry 'Pop' Lloyd , 38 (SS) - In his prime, known to be on par with Honus Wagner. Recognized as the best black shortstop in the country, Lloyd still possesses good skills and decent speed. His fielding is not as it used to be, but Lloyd applies with the hopes of finally realizing his place among American baseball players, black and white. Dave Malarcher, 28 (3B/2B) - Known as 'Gentleman Dave', Malarcher is a smooth fielding, clutch hitting third sacker with average defensive skills. Known as a slap hitter who puts the ball into play, Malarcher is a genius in working his way on base via the walk. Dick Redding, 31 (RHSP) - Known as "Cannonball", Redding has overpowering speed and above average stamina. Reported to normally pitch both games of a DH for his club, Redding is one of the best black hurlers around. Bullet Joe Rogan, 33 (RHSP/LF) - Rogan can do everything, everywhere. One of the only pitchers to bat cleanup for the most part. Rogan possesses an outstanding fastball and curveball with excellent control. A good power hitter with a fine eye at the plate. Louis Santop, 32 (C) - Santop has decent defensive skills behind the plate, but is known for his power. Once reported to have hit a 500 ft HR. Santop hits left handed, but throws right handed. Strong armed and a wiz at blocking the plate, "Big Bertha' is known as a superstar in negro league circles. Ben Taylor, 34 (1B) - Taylor is known as one of the finest black 1B around. A slick contact hitter at the plate, Taylor excels in the field where he is top notch defensively. Smokey Joe Williams, 37 (RHSP) - Searing fastball earned him the nickname "Cyclone". In his prime, known as a dominant hurler who would consistently strike out upwards of 16 batters per game. Although his speed has waned in the twilight of his playing days, Joe still possesses the smarts to be a dependable starter. Players Consider Amateurs (Enter league via draft): James 'Cool Papa' Bell, 19 (CF) - Reported to be the fastest man to play baseball, Bell was once clocked running the bases in 12 seconds. His speed on the bases offsets his lack of power at the plate as he is capable of 'legging out' extra-base hits. He utilizes his speed to increase his range in center, playing a shallow defensive position, but still being able to get the deep balls. Cool Papa is a switch-hitter with good bat control and hits for a high average. Judy Johnson, 22 (3B/SS) - Sure-handed infielder with good range and a shotgun arm. His instinctive baserunning makes up for his lack of speed. Right-handed line drive hitter with an excellent eye and little power. Dick Lundy, 24 (SS) - Dubbed 'King Richard', Lundy is superb in the field with a wide range and a strong arm. The big, huskey switchhitter is adept at the plate and hits for both average and power. Known as the top SS in negro circles. Raleigh 'Biz' Mackey, 25 (C) - Incredibly gifted backstop who is known to be cool under pressure. Known as a superb defensive catcher with a rifle arm striking fear in opposing baserunners. A switchhitter, Mackey has power from both sides of the plate and hits for high averages. Oliver Marcelle, 25 (3B) - Nicknamed "Ghost", Oliver is a superior defensive 3B with a strong arm and range to spare. At the plate, Marcelle is a spray hitter who is known to have a short fuse. Smart baserunner. Ted Radcliffe, 20 (C) - Called 'Double Duty' for his ability to catch the first game of a DH, then pitch the second, Ted is an average backstop with not spectacular hitting prowess, but a strong, durable catcher with the smarts to call a great game. Norman 'Turkey' Stearnes, 21 (CF/LF) - Pure power hitting outfielder with speed on the basepaths. Excellent range in the outfield due to his speed and smarts. Perennial great triples and stolen base player who doesnt mind sliding in hard to break up a tag. George 'Mule' Suttles, 21 (1B/LF) - Power hitting Suttles swings a 50 ounce bat, generating excessive power at the plate. Maintains a good average despite his free swinging ways. Low ball hitter who strikes out frequently. Once said to have hit a 600 ft shot at Havana's Tropical Park. A hulk of a man, Suttles' range is below average, but he handles anything within his reach. Jud 'Boojum' Wilson, 23 (3B/1B) - Pure hitter with power and a mean dispostion on the diamond. Wilson has a disdain for all pitchers and excels at the plate. Average in the field with decent range at third. Crowds the plate and is often hit. Earned the nickname 'Boojum' for the sound his line drives make when striking the fence. Five applications were received from 'Non American' applicants. All five are Cuban natives. After conferring with officials at the State Department and talks between the US and Cuban governments, the following decision is made on all five applications: All five players will be admitted to Hardball Heroes after a one year waiting period. All will be eligible beginning with the 1923 season. Two players will enter as amateurs while the other three will be granted free agent status on January 1, 1923. Bernardo Baro, 29 (OF) - Quick tempered Cuban who's said to be a true five point player with power and average to all fields. Good bunter with extra base power and a wide defensive range. Great arm and base running sense. Martin Dihigo, 17 (2b/3B/OF) - Possibly the most versatile player in existence. The young Cuban has a cannon arm, speed to burn, range, and power at the plate. Words do not do justice to the skills possessed by this lanky 6'3" righty. Pablo Mesa, 20 (OF) - Left-handed outfielder with good contact, power, and bunting ability. Mesa is a very fast baserunner with great range in the field, but does not possess the rifle arm. Alejandro Oms, 27 (CF/LF/RF) - Cuban with exceptional OF range with an accurate, but not strong, arm. An adeptly fast basestealer, Oms was known for his hitting prowess. A left-handed batter with power to all fields and a good average, Oms is known to be a clutch offensive player. Cristobal Torriente, 27 (RF) - Called the 'Cuban Strongman', Torriente is a muscular left-hander with great range and a strong arm. Possessing power to all fields, he is known as a pull hitter. An accomplished base stealer who is reportedly a 'bad ball hitter' making any pitch thrown his way a prime candidate for the outfield wall. The complete ballplayer is how he has been described. ------------------------------- So, with the stroke of a pen, a new era has dawned in American professional baseball. Ban Johnson has integrated baseball and denied Kenesaw Landis that long wanted priviledge at the same time. Its a great day for professional baseball and Bancroft Johnson is to thank for that. Only one player was able to be reached for comment, that being Bingo DeMoss. "I'm just happy to finally be able to put my skills to the full test against all baseball players", DeMoss stated. This reporter, for one, can't wait to see black and white playing along side one another next season in the cathedrals we call ballparks in Hardball Heroes. |

Hardball Heroes needs owners at Sacramento and Portland of its Pacific Coast League that is about to kick off.
The PCL is independent of HH's major leagues and is fictional in its players. PCL Reports We use the PCL as our 'waiting list' league and fill all HH major league vacancies from our PCL owners. www.hardball-heroes.net PM interest to me here. The league should be kicking off in the next week as the league nears 1/1/22. |

If you have interest in running a team in Hardball Heroes (1922 historical), the PCL is the gateway to that job. We hire from PCL owners.

As we enter our third season (1923), we could use a few 'waiting list' owners for the PCL. Our integration process has been a rousing success as Dick Redding helped power the New York Yankees to a sweep of the Reds in the Fall Classic.
In the PCL, San Francisco's Seals dispatched Seattle in the PCL Series. Offseason is about to start. If you have interest, let me know and I'll hook you up in the PCL with the rest of our waiting list guys. All HH vacancies at the MLB level are filled from PCL owners and are not based on seniority, but moreso on the overall contributions of PCL owners to the Heroes leagues. |

The integration of negro leaguers has been a great addition to HH. SP Dick Redding not only lead the Yankees to a World Series championship, he won the AL Triple Crown.
Anyone that likes historical leagues would enjoy this league. |
