Ott does seem out of place in Dodger blue, doesn't he? The funny thing is- Master Melvin has ended up in Brooklyn in at least two of my historical dynasties, even when I assign rookies to their actual teams. Another time Ott got traded to the Tigers. I don't think he's ever remained a Giant.

I thought the Seals were going to make a run at the Oaks, but they faded down the stretch. That was a shame, because an intense Bay rivalry would be a lot of fun.

I miss the purity of the three-league setup, too, but there are two things that make up for its loss, as far as I'm concerned. There's an All-Star game now, which I'm really enjoying. The scheduling makes more sense. Instead of a team playing 154 games against 23 different opponents, they play only the teams in their league.
