Set in Stone... MLB Players Stay with Original Franchises (Author: Matt From TN; 9 ballots; highest vote: 1st)
From the man who gave us Time Warp Baseball (like that doesn't get enough exposure...
), and that super cool dynasty where he did everything in real time (
This one), Matt From TN opens up his brain for this doozy. He imports everyone from Lahman, or so I think, and everyone stays with the same team that they originally played for. Forever. There is no trading or free agency, and no injuries so we really get to see a player's full career. This one is still going strong, despite TWB's best efforts to kill it off by forcing Matt to sim everyday of the year. Matt does a great job laying out the happenings. It's kind of a stat dump, but if he really gets going into a more recognizable part of baseball history (not that the deadball era sucks or anything, but most people can't associate with it..myself included), then it should really take off. I know a lot of people are interested to see how certain teams do, if they had certain players forever, or if free agency didn't exist like it does today.
Another great thread idea from a guy who has a million of them!
