The most unique 19th century league needs an owner

The Trans-Continental Base Ball Association was the world's first professional league, founded in 1870 along the eight largest cities on the transcontinental railroad. In 1871 the league expanded nationwide, drawing some of the National Association's top talent. Now nearing the end of the 1875 season, TCBA is the nation's preeminent baseball league.

The defending Central Pacific League champion Denver Pikes are in need of a new owner.


This is not just your typical 19th century league. We have many unique features, including:
  • Fictional-historical hybrid, with fictional amateurs in the draft pool and historical rookies in the free agent pool
  • Free agency with 8 years service time
  • Extensive minor leagues with opportunities to affiliate with multiple teams at each level
  • Independent leagues/teams from which players can be purchased
  • Modified settings which will begin the liveball era in the 1880s
  • Fast sims (three weeks at a time) covering an entire year in one month
  • Historically accurate markets based on census data
and more!

If you're interested, please respond to this thread or send me a PM.
