Major League Madness of Sports

[stratonascar]

I'm going to run a Mixed Fictional-Historical League which will focus on Baseball and Football, So here's what were going to use

Baseball - Using OOTP19 starting in 1901 with Fictional Players mixed in Real Players from that Year however OOTP will generate fictional players into the Draft Class followed Real Players into the draft class annually but there will be more surprises when we get there.

Football - Beginning in 1960, Using Draft Day Sports: Pro Football 18 (from Wolverine Studios) however I'm expecting to add Real CFL, USFL & WFL Players as the years go by along with the NFL Players with even more surprises so I'm going to start with a 24 Team League beginning in that year and expand as we move forward.

However we can do it like a Sports Almanac of Something, So we could make it historically accurate as planned.

[stratonascar]

The Year is 1901: Major League Baseball is now formed the Original 16 Teams competing in the leagues inaugural season.

American League
