The rewritten history of Baseball 1901-

[wvualum06]

Several months back, I started a sim from 1901 with the plan to make it into the present day. I didnt think anyone really cared about this sort of thing (Sort of like hearing about someone's Fantasy Football roster), but I'm watching a movie, and I'm bored.


I am currently in the back half of the 1921 season. So from 1901-1920 will have basic updates.

Note: Changes from the normal historical path.

-Players will be granted free agency.
-There will be a player draft.
-The color barrier has been eliminated
-The leagues have been split into two divisions with a 7 game LCS being played
-All Star Games will begin in 1901.
-The seasons will be 162 games from 1901-
-Interleague play will be utilized.

If there are any questions, please do not hesitate.
