I like the new format, too. Two updates a year work well, and it looks like you'll be able to keep the league moving forward.

I might have to pick a college or high school team to root for, just to be different. At any rate I'll keep reading and enjoying, because you have a talent for making fictional players, teams, and leagues seem real.

Keep up the good work.
Thanks, LPT. Keeping up with 12 or 16 teams took a lot of time, and I didn't feel like I could enjoy the league as much. I found myself missing things that happened each season--no-hitters, big trades, the retirement of a star--the kinds of things a real fan of a real league would have known and cared about.

I think I'll keep using the mid-season update/season summary format as my basic method of telling this story. If there are players or teams any of you would like to know more about, please let me know. I enjoy writing "features" like that, too.

I should have the 1913 season finished today, and I'll have some special features in honor of the FLL's 10th season, too.
