Thought it would be fun to take a look at some of the highly popular players in ATG1 and see where they are today.
Willie Mays: I never got him until my last ATG1 team and then he had one of his worst seasons in ATG1 (.261/.328/.493 County Stadium '57 ). His cost was $8.49 back then. Today he is at $12.69.
Cecil Cooper: Behind Gehrig ($13.11) and Foxx ($9.31) Cecil had the third best actuals for first basemen. He was $5.08 in ATG1 and costs $6.93 today.
Eddie Collins: First pick on about everyone’s card. He was $4.76 then and, with some adjustments, his card today costs $7.67.
Red Rolfe: I loved him at third. Cost me $5.82 then. At $6.64 today I never use him.
Gary Carter: Out performed all catchers except Campy who was $3.5M more. Then @ $3.98. Today @ $6.98.
Felipe Alou: Either CF or RF he was a bargain. He’s jumped from $5.16 to $6.25.
Hank Aaron: Worth every penny of his $7.01 price. Some changes to his card which costs $ 8.90 now.
Alan Trammel: He was my go to short stop who cost me $5.74. His card today is worth $7.43, again with some adjustments on his card.
There were some highly popular pitchers of course and I hope to get to them later. Meanwhile I’m just glad that frenzies are not that common. I slept through too many. Sleep is always a higher priority to grabbing Lou Whitaker.

I'm still hangin' around in ATG, and play some Mystery games games as well. I remember finding the TSN game around the holidays and plunking down $25 bucks to get my tail kicked.

But I learned from the online forum and especially from other players in person at Bobby's events in Vegas. I remember having dinner in Vegas with Riggo and MunichMan and talking strat over steaks. It seems like a lifetime ago!

Another favorite player from ATG 1 - Bill Plies at $.84.

Your older teams can be found using a link to the right of the "Your Recently Completed Teams" header, the link is called "Archive of your older completed teams".

I played in about 5 leagues of ATG1 back in 2002. I remember being in a LIVE draft league with MightyMoose (hard to forget that name).

I didn't do so well if I remember right. I believe the game was like $29 per team. Too expensive for my blood back in the day. So I quit and never played again for 10 years until I rejoined in 2012 with ATG 6.

I KNOW that I played under the name of nomadbrad at the time but for some reason those 5 leagues don't show up in my record for some reason.....maybe since I was absent for 10 years?

ATG 1 was a struggle for me, because it seemed that if you had a bad draft it was impossible to recover with such a limited players set. I tip my hat to those with a .500+ back in those days.

I believe that strat had to transfer the teams and didn't transfer the teams for those managers not around or who changed names in the transition unless it was a name change they were aware of. As such, some of my leagues showing up from back then have missing teams.......my leagues have most of the other teams showing up but played almost all themes or barnstormers with regulars generally.

Though think some of the teams showing up were for people gone by then so not sure how consistent they were. Also have one league I am aware of that did not transfer over.....but that was a later league.

I lurk and join the very occasional league. Hack Wilson got me into online Strat at the very end of ATG 1. Diamond Dope came along shortly thereafter. My Strat participation flatlined at the same time as my marriage. I love you all.
