After reading 2 different dynasties yesterday on OOTP about baseball beginning in 1871, I have decided to take my own crack at it. The first year (1871) will mirror the real lifes as all players will be put on their initial teams. For the proceeding years, (1872, 1873, etc etc) all the rookies will go their original teams they started their careers with.

I will be following the league changes as they happened in real life and using the real life schedules (ie 1871, Boston plays 30 games and Fort Wayne played 19 games.) As for the stats, I will try to have them mirror as closely as I can.

Free agency will be 1 year because back then alot of players jumped teams each year. Abitration is off, injuries are very low and fatigue is low.

I hope this will help you (the reader) and me learn more about the some of the great players of this era.

Next up, I'll post a little about each team.
