The Southern League
12 team setup, no divisions. 154 game schedule. Top two teams play in the League Championship Series. Random Debut
I started this league in 1947 and I'm currently sitting at June 25th 1948. The first season, 1947 used 1978 modifiers. 1948 is using 1983. I'm using a random number generator at the end of each season to pick a year between 1978-1986(If 1981 is selected, I get to select) for my modifiers. No minors. I'm using reserve rosters. The Teams Baton Rouge Governors Beaumont Whitehawks Biloxi Beavers Birmingham Black Cats Corpus Christi River Otters Jackson War Dogs Lake Charles Emperors Mobile Music Monroe Monsters San Antonio Bombardiers Shreveport Swingers Texarkana Ninjas Beaumont took home the ring in 1947 defeating San Antonio 5 games to 3.

Wondering if anyone else is seeing this in their leagues, be it random debut or straight historical. I'm seeing way too many teams that only carry 2 catchers. Not a huge deal if both catchers on the 25 man roster remain healthy, but it becomes a problem if one of them gets hurt. Then you end up with a position player having to catch and that is one of my big pet peeves.

I haven't seen that in my Random Debut.
I have a 16 team random debut league which is in the middle of June in season 2. My first year player draft is small, the pool is for 4 rounds worth. Most of my teams have 2 on the starting 26 man roster (I am using 26 man active rosters) and then most have 2-3 on the reserve roster. I believe 2 of my teams only have 1 on the reserve roster. |

Straight historical, in dead all era prior to 1910. In some years the average team has a total of 23 players. Even so, I have seen some teams with 1 catcher while other teams have 4 or 5 active catchers. I have seen some teams with a total of 3 outfielders while others have 7. I have seen teams with 3 pitchers and others with 8 pitchers. Same problem with infielders. Before the season begins, I manual go though and make sure teams have enough players for each position. I wish the AI would do a better job during the draft or through trades to make sure team needs are met. Maybe this would be a good suggestion.

The San Antonio Bombardiers are the 1948 Southern League champs. They defeated the Corpus Christi River Otters 5 games to 4 in come from behind fashion. San Antonio was down 4 games to 3, but won the last two games to bring home the ring. The Bombardiers have been to each of the first two Southern League championship series. Last season they fell short losing to Beaumont. Carl Crawford took home series MVP honors. San Antonio's duel aces of Greg Maddux and Cliff Melton had a strong series as well.
Corpus Christi held off a strong surge by Beaumont to make the series as the wildcard, securing their bid on the last very last day of the regular season. The Otters had a 6 game lead through most of August, before stumbling a bit as Beaumont got hot. The random number generator gave us 1985 to use for 1949. |

How can you have a Southern League without the history making Chattanooga Lookouts? We did have that girl that struck out Ruth and Gehrig.

Ah I will keep them in mind if I expand. Started to use Texas League, but seeing as league went as far east as Alabama, I figured Southern League would work.

Kind of sad to see what's happening with Pete Rose in my current league. Pete was 37 years old for the inaugural season. He was an everyday player for that first season. Then in 1948 he became a part time player/pinch hitter. Now in 1949, he remains an unsigned free agent into mid May. I keep checking, hoping to see he's signed, but so far things aren't looking good. Oh well that's the way them cookies crumble.

Like your choice of cities for the league. Chose six of them for my Redneck fictional league. I split my league into divisions and began in 1960. Your nicknames need work though. Nobody knew what Ninjas were in 1947 Texarkana.
My teams were: East: Meridian Choctaws (I was GM) Tuscaloosa Red Elephants Biloxi Golden Wave Monroe Rebels Pine Bluff Zebras Baton Rouge Billikens (Yeah, that nickname kinda sucked) West: Shreveport Steamers Texarkana Twins (Texarkana is a Twin City after all) Muskogee Roughers Waco Wanderers Tyler Tigers Beaumont Oilers Last edited by Buster Cherry; 09-11-2019 at 02:57 PM. |

BTW, I thought Baton Rouge Governors was a good nickname seeing as how Baton Rouge is the capitol city of Louisiana. I wish I had used it instead of Billikens. Last edited by Buster Cherry; 09-11-2019 at 07:11 PM. |
