This dynasty project is going to be pretty simple. Unlike some of the others I've tried, there's no long backstory, unique premise or special character (at least not yet). I'm beginning in 1901, importing real players and then putting them on fictional teams, based on places in Arizona (where I lived from 2000-04).

I'll likely just sim out seasons at a time and post general reports and updates as I go along. Feel free to ask if you want more details on a particular player or team (especially if you're from Arizona!!).

I'm not sure where this will go over time. I may pick up one of the franchises to manage. I may add teams to the league, move teams or change nicknames (especially if someone comes up with better ones!). I may insert fictional players or ask readers to submit their own players. Not sure yet, but I've always wanted to do something historically based, and I thought this would be a fun and easy way to start, considering I don't have large amounts of time to devote to playing the game right now (and was having game-crash issues with my other current dynasty). I'll likely be simming this baseball universe in the background while I do other things...

Any and all feedback is welcome. Thanks for stopping by. And now, AzTarHeel Productions presents: The Arizona League
