WINTER 1969 - WEST LOADING - Gordie Howe is last team!

It is fun - and I agree on not having as much depth as ATG - makes it more fun and more strategic, vs. matching-up degrees of greatness.


C'mon Gordie Howe - put the biscuit in the basket! Let's get this thing moving!

The leagues where everybody has an all-star at every position can be kind of wacky. I like getting into a place where everybody has to use "non-front liners." It tends to bring the pitching back into the reality range.

I did a 2 team specific theme the one year and that was fun. Although the Padres did nothing to help my cause! The Cardinals were my other team and they were a great squad in '69.

C'mon on Gordie Howe put the puck in the net ! The suspense is killing me ! lol

But did Nate Colbert reach the coveted 200 strikeout total? Or did he not make the team?

[AllStarInc]

Nate was about the only thing the Pads had. Wound up platooning him with McCarver/Torre. And yes, he had his share of strikeouts.

Should be soon. I'm guessing Coco Laboy

Is there a spot I can go and look at manager instructions?Sure would like to know about relief pitchers limitations. I also assume there can be only one park per team...

[GFDWARF07]

RJ- Glad you guys have surfaced! Take a look at the other message boards - there are a lot of general instructions and startegy guidelines that other owners have put out there. I have to run to a meeting now but will look for a link shortly unless someone else posts one first.

Please ask Gordie to keep an eye on the draft so we can keep it moving in subsequent rounds!

thanks,
Dan

RJ- link or copy this into your browser. Some good stuff here.

Most important - have fun! My first team I just picked my favorite players and had a blast - and finished .500, which was a bonus.




Hopefully Gordie will pick soon. We gotta get this thing moving.
