Schedules galore needed
Hey all
FOr those that are looking for a major challange here is a good one. I am looking for the schedueles for each of the following: National Association of Base Ball Players 1857-1873 National Association 1871-1875 National League 1876-1900 American association 1882-1891 Players League 1890 Union Association 1884 Western League 1893-1900 (precursor to the American League of today) If anyone can help with these I'd greatly appriciate it. TO be hoenst I don't expect to have all of these found, but those that are would be most welcomed. Also more may be added should more leagues of this time period be needed. Thanks in advance to all those that are intrested.

some of these are going to be impossible because some of them didnt play a set schedule. the teams in some of these leagues played different amounts of games in a season. some of them even did the ole, "hey, you guys free on thursday for a game?" thing.
if you are looking for the actual dates they did play, that might be doable.

Retrosheet has as-played schedules from 1876 on for the major leagues. The National Association was a little less formal, and before that was about as formal as the neighborhood choosing up sides on Saturday afternoon.
The Union Association lost a few teams in mid-season, so its as-played schedule won't be all the games you'd need.

for the UA I'd jsut change the names of the teams as they dropped out and others took over the players if it ran like that, otherwise I'd probably just do a mass release and reassigned although I dont' know how that woudl work with schedueles. Also LGO do you know of any leagues that operated that I haven't mentioned? If so coudl you lsit them in the other thread of mine about that subject?

Incidentally, I came across some info for the 1871 NA season which stated the following: the idea that season was that each team would play a best-of-5 series against each of the other teams. Once a team had won three games against that opponent, they wouldn't play each other again in the season. The pennant winner was the team with the highest number of actual wins, not winning percentage. Note that the games against an opponent, even if five were needed, were spread out during the season and not grouped together in one series. Quote:
So of the 112 games in the schedule, if a team dropped out after 80 games, the remaining 32 games would be assigned to the team which came it to replace it. As a result, you wind up with a few teams playing the first part of the season and then stopping and a few other teams who don't start playing games until well into the season. But you do end up with games for all the teams which actually played in the UA that year. |

not sure how much work you want to put in, but something like probaseballarchive.com will give you access to the sports section of the newspapers of the times to see who played who on that day.
