Jesse "The Body" Tannehill Elected to NABL Hall of Fame

Jesse Tannehill, whose 1910 trade to Cincinnati broke his heart and any chance he had of getting to 300 wins, was elected to the Hall of Fame on the 1st ballot with 14 of the 16 votes. The dissenting voices argued that, by not reaching 300 wins and only having one dominant year - 1905, when he went 31-12 with an ERA of 2.13 - they would be rewarding longevity and not true brilliance.

Details are on the NABL Front Page

***********************************

The North Americna Baseball League league started with the 1901 season in November 2002 with 16 teams involved with an initial draft. Prior to the 1905 season (March, 2003), the league converted to OOTP v5. We use real players imported via the Lahman Database, and strive to faithfully re-create baseball history.

The NABL is a VERY fast paced league, popping off a season every three weeks. The good news about such a fast-paced league is that if your team has to rebuild, you wont spend the next year or two of your life watching your team suck - four or five months or real-time at most can change a team from the basement to the top (or vice-versa, as your team ages).

Because of the speed of the league, only true fanatics - the type who are competitive and want to compete against the best and work towards climbing the mountain - will really be considered. While during the season most teams are fairly hands-off (once depth charts are filled in, its just injuries to worry about), trades and the draft are THE KEYS to winning in this league. Most teams build via the draft, but when a trade does happen - only a handful a season - they are usually blockbusters.
