Semihistorical deadball league w/ 30 years history seeks expansion owners

bulldog55 · 06-05-2013, 10:31 AM

The Transcontinental Baseball Association was founded in 1870. Having just completed the 1900 season, we have converted to v14 and are currently in the offseason, looking for someone to take the Kansas Pacifics. Back when they were a major league team, they won the Western Division 7 years running from 1886-1892, winning four titles in that span. They remained competitive through 1898 when they lost their ownership and were demoted to the second division. They've finished 84-60 both years since their relegation and they feature several legitimate stars including 9-time All-Star Bob McCabe, 8-timer Nate Smith, and a rotation headed by historical greats Amos Rusie and Jack Stivetts.

Returning to glory in the major league will not be an easy task, however. Despite their stars, the team probably lacks the depth to contend this year, and your budget is just about maxed out. They also lack prospects from playing in the second division, so you'll probably want to kick off a rebuilding phase. They will require dedication and patience, and an owner who enjoys the low-offense era of the early 1900s. We move quickly (2 weeks per sim, 3 sims per week, about 1 month per regular season), so you will need to be attentive to keep up. We're a tight-knit group of owners, many of whom have been around since the beginning and are in multiple leagues together. We're looking for someone who wants to be an active part of a community.

The league is semihistorical, meaning it is mostly fictional players but with top historical amateurs added to the draft pool every year. Scouting is enabled to add an extra challenge. Players earn free agency in 8 years. There are additional unique features such as the ability to purchase players from independent leagues, and a growing network of international leagues that led up to our first ever World Cup this year.

Respond to this thread or send me a PM if interested.

Cleveland and Buffalo are spoken for. We'd love to get owners for Kansas and Cincinnati to balance the leagues.

We're down to our last opening. Who will take Cincinnati?

And with that, we're all full up. Thanks, everyone!
