Like the PCL or Japan? Join the only historical league with both (Negro Leaguers too)

Greatest Generations Baseball, an OOTP 2006 historical league starting in 1936 has several openings.

What makes GGB unique (so far as I know) is that it includes the real PCL, Negro Leagues and Japan leagues circa 1936. Real teams & real players. Each group has its own database, using real stats to model these leagues as they existed.

The databases are being built as the league goes. Once we get far enough in, I will release these dbs to the community so that others can also have leagues with these guys in it. Right now only the players active in 1936 have been created. Because creating these databases is a lengthy and time-consuming process, building a year at a time makes sense.

Now about the league itself:

All leagues are set to ML-level. For purposes of the league, we're having the PCL declare itself a third major league and it will compete directly for players with the AL and NL, which in turn will also be able to pull players out of the full PCL pool.

MLB and PCL players may play in MLB, the PCL and potentially Japan (down the road a bit, most likely)
Negro Leaguers can ONLY play in the Negro Leagues (until 1947 - more on that later)
Japanese players can only play in Japan (for the foreseeable future)

Japanese teams have a max of 4 foreign players per team

We're using financials and will have free agency to spice things up.

We're allowing GMs to run a team in both of the two groups (MLB/PCL in one group, Japan/Negro in the other group). Since there is no crossover of players between Japan and the Negro leagues into the MLB/PCL world (yet), there will be no conflict of interest.

Sims will be run three times a week, 15 game days per sim.

You must have OOTP 2006 to join the league.

That covers most of the basics. If you have questions, feel free to post here, so that everyone can see the question and the answer.

Right now, these are the available teams:

GROUP ONE
MLB - FULL
PCL - Oakland Oaks, Mission Reds, San Francisco Seals, Sacramento Solons

GROUP TWO
Japan - Nagoya Golden Dolphins
Negro Leagues - FULL

As you can see, there are more teams in Group One than in Group Two. That's because there are fewer teams in Group Two. But there will be expansion in the Japanese Leagues, and GMs locked out of a second team would get first crack at these expansion teams.

The Negro Leagues will exist until 1949 and then, in 1950 the "outlaw" Mexican League will replace the Negro Leagues (integration will begin in 1947 - phased in, just as in real-life).

BTW - I'll be extremely impressed if anyone can name all five of the people in the league banner. Of the five, three are fairly easy, one is somewhat difficult and the last, the manager, is probably almost impossible for most people. They represent all four of the leagues in GGB. One hint - ALL of them are Hall-of-Famers.

Clicking on the banner at the top, or in my sig below will take you to the website. Make sure you check out page 2 - which includes the GM Matrix, showing who's in the league and what teams they're running. Browse around the rosters, view the relocation and expansion schedule, and more. Kick the GGB's tires, see if it's a fit for you.

Thanks for checking GGB out...

Just two teams left - both in PCL - Mission and Sacramento. Mission moves to Hollywood in 1938 (we're in 1936).
