Figment League Baseball - New Fictional Historical League starting
Hey guys,
I have a dynasty thread about my Figment League, a fictional league that is creating its own history of baseball from 1876 onwards. The plan is to do 50 years of pre-play and then continue as an online league starting with the 1926 season. Note that the dynasty thread is actually a slightly modified version of a blog I'm running on my website that covers the pre-play period through 1909. The 1910-1925 era is under wraps until I recruit the GMs for the league. This keeps the state of the clubs themselves a mystery. The blog posts for those seasons will be revealed when the league has 16 GMs. Here's the gist of the league:
Here is the list of "pre-play period" teams: *FEDERAL ASSOCIATION* Boston Minutemen Chicago Chiefs (option to rename to Superchiefs circa 1933) Detroit Dynamos New York Gothams Philadelphia Keystones Pittsburgh Miners St. Louis Pioneers Washington Eagles (option to move to KC starting in 1955) *CONTINENTAL ASSOCIATION* Baltimore Clippers Brooklyn Kings (option to move to Houston starting in 1946) Chicago Cougars (option to move to Milwaukee starting in 1940) Cleveland Foresters Montreal Saints New York Stars (option to move to LA starting in 1946) Philadelphia Sailors (option to move to SF starting in 1946) Toronto Wolves Now for the specifics on the format within OOTP:
At the current time (I will update this as we go along) these are the available franchises: Chicago Cougars (option to become Milwaukee in 1940) Baltimore Clippers (can rename to Cannons or Bombers) If you are interested, please send me a PM here on the boards. We use Slack and also have a league forum for trade posts. We're probably a week or so from being ready to start. Thanks for reading this pretty long post!

I will be in this league. I'm also in Joe's two other current leagues. Both are well run. Sims are consistent and on time, Joe keeps things moving along and fairly run.
The stats only is a new thing for us, so that will be a new challenge. If you're already a stats only type this will be a great league for you. Or you could try something new like many of us. |

I would be interested in Cleveland Foresters, if I join. I will do some research tonight...
Thank you in advance for your considerations... Thanks, Jeff Last edited by stans_cpa; 05-13-2019 at 12:45 PM. |

So far, the Cleveland and Brooklyn clubs have been claimed. That leaves just two teams available: the Chicago Cougars and Baltimore Clippers.

I'll be in league also (as Montreal). I'm in Joe's other historical leagues which are really great, well run leagues. And I'm really looking forward to this fictional, stats only league. Should be a blast.

I had not realized you got this off the ground. If you get an opening I would like to get in. I'm sure you are full, your leagues are really well run, but maybe you have a waiting list compiled.
