OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Joy in Mudville: A "Friendly" Baseball League Beginning in 1970

Joy in Mudville · 01-24-2008, 01:47 PM

When the 1971 season begins the Miwaukee Brewers will have new leadership.

Tim L., GM/manager of the National League Cincinnati Reds, has taken over Milwaukee in the American League. The previous management team of Andrew R. and Ryan Z. will continue to run the Montreal Expos.

Tim originally operated the Detroit Tigers, but gave that franchise up in order to allow Matt K. to join the Joy in Mudville League. That move came prior to the 1970 season.

Tim, a noted teetotaler, will inherit a Brewer ballclub that posted a dismal 61-101 record and finished 44 games behind the Oakland A's in the AL West.

Yet, the new management head is proceeding with sheer optimism.

"With young talent like Danny Walton and Skip Lockwood on the roster, I am sure that I can turn this around. Those are two cornerstones that I can build around," Tim said. "In our first order of business, is anyone interested in Danny Walton or Skip Lockwood?"

For the record, Walton hit .263 with 10 home runs and 36 RBIs. Lockwood was 14-22 with a 4.47 ERA.

Tim will have fellow Eastern Illinois University alum Marty Pattin (11-18, 4.74) on his roster
