[Big Six]

I have this habit of continuing to develop dynasty ideas in my head, even when I'm absorbed in one (or more) stories already. I'm guilty of doing the same thing again.

I've had fun with several different dynasty formats, all involving a fictional element...either a fictional player, like Pat O'Farrell, inserted into the "real" major leagues, or a completely fictional league like the Keystone League. This time I'm combining the two scenarios to tell the story of a fictional player in a fictional league.

I also like setting my stories in the past. I suppose I come by this honestly because I'm an American history teacher, and I've always loved the history of sports, especially baseball.

Hopefully I'll be able to make this player, and the league in which he plays, seem real to any of you who choose to read along. At the very least, I think I'll have a lot of fun with it. Hopefully you will, too.

Our story begins in Ohio, over a hundred years ago...
