For those of you who want a great fictional experience, this should save you some time. I've probably spent over 100 hours designing this thing, collecting logos, tweaking stuff, and play testing the league. I couldn't offer it to be officially included in OOTP, though, because some of the logos I used are based off copyrighted stuff.
The league is loosely based off MLB, but it is distinctive enough to have it's own feel. It starts in 1901 w the idea that you can sim up to whenever you usually play and have a league with it's own history.
Here's what you get:
1. 24-team American Major League w 3 Tiers of Minors
1b. These 24 teams are in 2 even leagues w only 1 division each where top 4 finishers in each league make playoffs.
2. 16-team Carribbean "Free Agent Feeder" League w 2 Tiers of Minors
3. 12-team Asian "Free Agent Feeder" League w 2 Tiers of Minors
4. Customized logos and color schemes for all teams
5. Stadium graphics w ball flight locations
6. Stat outputs that will loosely track MLB actuals if you use the era_modifiers.txt file and era_stats.txt file that I put up on the boards yesterday. Find those here:

For best results
1. Use use the era_modifiers.txt file and era_stats.txt file that I put up on the boards yesterday.
2. In 1955, turn on "free agents may leave league" in the Caribbean League and change the # of draft rounds in the FLB to 9.
3. In 1995 turn on "free agents may leave league" in the Asian League and change the # of draft rounds in the FLB to 8.
4. Sim from 1901 to whenever you feel like playing

Notes:
1. Thanks to all the folks who made some of the logos I used in this thing.
2. Thanks to whomever put together the original stadium pack I have customized.
3. If you use this league and like it... please take the time to let me know. A lot of time has gone into this.
4. If you can mirror these files, please do so. I think the links I put up are only good for 7 days or ~20 downloads.
