I would suggest unveiling it at the gathering in Vegas. Seems like that would be a good time to grab our interest and a great location for the Company to send their Strat God to do the unveiling.
More thoughts will come on my blog tonight(and here as well).

Would love to see the following teams added:
1911 As--what a team, perhaps best Mack team
1914 Braves--the miracle boys
1918 Red Sox--Ruth as a pitcher, great OF
1922 Giants--Casey Stengel, Artie Nehf
1922 St Lious Browns--George Sisler .420 and big bats
1925 Cardinals--Grover goes nuts
1927 Pirates--Waner brothers, not to forget that HOF 3B
1931 A's (replace the 29)--Lefty Groves best year, and Max Bishop hits .294 plus all those walks
1933 Giants (replace other)--better years for some of the greats
1935 Cubs (replace 29)--Stan Hack, Augie Galan, Billy Herman
1941 Dodgers--Reiser, Camilli, Walker, Wyatt, Higbe
1948 Indians (replace 54)--Lou Boudreau .355 at SS, Satchel Paige, much better Doby card, great Bob Lemon card, Ken Keltner
1949 or 1950 Pirates (Gotta get Ralph Kiner in some how... :-)
1961 Yankees (Replace 56)--gotta have Maris, Richardson, Keubek, Blanchard, Terry
1961 Tigers (no they didn't win the pennant but what a great team)--Norm Cash .361, Rocky Colovito 45 HRs, Al Kaline--a real year!!!--Frank Larry 24-7
1963 Dodgers (replace 65)--pitching plus hitting
1964 Phils (the team that could have been)--Richie Allen, great Jim Bunning card, Chris Short
1965 Giants--(replace 62) Gotta have a great Marichal card)
1978 Yankees (Guidry and that other guy)
1991 Braves--the beginning of the streak

SETS BY ERA's
by rschwartz51 » Thu Feb 09, 2006 9:52 pm
I really think 7 sets made up of players from each era. Doesn't have to be all allstars as we need regular players also. This way players who were on marginal teams can be involved.
As I say ATG is a draft game so individula players are fine.

Oh boy, where to begin??
1- must must must include a column for home stadium in the standings page
2- how about a midseason all star game? Have the top two managers get to manage the teams, set the lineups, pick the starter and organize the team? That would be cool! You could split the 12 teams in half, top 6 records vs. the bottom 6 records. Even have the current managers get to vote on the players. That would be pretty fun! Those things date back to 1933, so it's not a new fad. Probably silly, but it's a thought.
(side note, my grandfather took his family to that very first game and caught a foul ball that Ruth hit and I believe Hubble pitched. Nice souvenier, eh? But...when an 8 year old kid wants to play catch and that's the only ball he can find and then he loses it in the woods, it sorta becomes just a story, doesn't it? PJ has learned a few things since... :? )
3- Oh, I've got a lot of these ideas, I just can't recall them all right now. More to come. I think I come up with a brilliant idea a day, just need to remember to write them down. :roll:

The format is great the way it is Just change some of the teams Nothing wrong with having Ruth twice if 1 is a hitters card the other pitching and why not a dog team or two like the 62 Mets The challenge to manage is finding the cheap players that produce Don't need a 200 MIL league everyday Played a couple Anybodys ballgame just about every nite Teams too even All luck At least the way it is bad teams can tweak their lineups to play spoiler More fun that way :P

AGree, format works great, just need to add some new teams, subtract some old ones.
The Ralph Kiner team is a dog team, like the idea of the 62 Mets, might be fun to add one or two first year expansion teams-Angels, Pilots, Houston?
