The Finger Lakes League

I’ve always enjoyed league-based dynasties, but I’ve encountered the same problem every time I’ve tried to keep one going. I create leagues with twelve or sixteen teams, and I bog down when I try to give the thread’s readers enough information about each team and its players to keep their interest.

I’m trying one more time. This time I’ve created a six-team league based in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. (My wife grew up there, and we spend some time there every summer).

The teams will be based in the following towns:

Canandaigua
Geneva
Penn Yan
Seneca Falls
Waterloo
Watkins Glen

The league will begin play in 1904. Financials and free agency are off.

I hope it will be a lot of fun for all of us to keep up with the changing fortunes of these six teams and their players. And, I also hope that the smaller scope of the league will enable us to get to know them well enough to care about their stories, too.
