I'm strongly considering creating a historical league (starting ca. 1950) open to other players. I would be commish and prob. control a team too (yes, i see the potential for conflict, but i'm ethical). I'm planning on getting 2K5 soon and would then prepare the roster and teams, so wouldn't start til mid-August at the earliest.

The whole point of this is to see if enough people are interested. My initial thought would be to make it for that 2k5 itself wouldn't be a prereq, although having it would allow you to examine certain things in greater detail, and to prob. sim a week per week (which is slow, i know... it might speed up depending on my schedule), and i would customize the imports from lahman to make it all pretty sweet. Back to the original point, since that would be alot of work, if they'rs not enough interest, i prob. wouldnt do it. Hence, the poll. No commitments yet, just first impression. Once i'm up and running, I would put stuff on-line so ya'll could check it out and we could get solid.

Any thoughts also apprciated.

In case this doesn't get rolling. There are 2 openings for a league that started in 1955 and is in the spring of 1974.

There seems to be enough interest that i'll look to get this starting after i finish the bar (sometimes real life has to take precedence), depending on a few other factors, should be able to get started by 1 September.

The plan is to use lahman as a base, but tweak the imported rosters to add in 'rookies' and 'bonus babies' who were in the team's system as of the league start date, but not yet with the major league club.

I'll try to get some initial pages (rules, starting rosters, etc.) up in the next few weeks for comment and to get some initial commentments to teams.

thanks for the input, all.

I've already put some basic pages on-line, including ground rules, etc. I invite you all to check it out and reserve a team if you so desire.
