I'm going to try something I've always wanted to do - model the managerial career of the fiery Billy Martin. What I'm going to do is set up a league in 1969, Billy's first season as a big league manager, and setup all the managers and coaches of MLB at the time, all in their specific roles (including Billy as manager of the Twins). Then I will play out the seasons and post stats and stories here, with a slant on the maangerial staffs being front-and-center and the more "Billy-centric" storylines being the center storylines.

I'm still deciding how to deal with when Billy moves to different teams - whether to follow history, or to make it somewhat dependent on how the universe evolves, what jobs open up, and how "his" teams do).

It'll take a little bit to setup (mainly getting the managers and coaches set up).

The plan is to use recalc, have expansion occur historically and run in commissioner mode so that I have the flexibility to do what I need to do, but hoping to interfere as little as possible. I won't actually run any teams and will let the universe evolve on its own, with trades, free agency (when we get there), etc being run by the AI. Rookies will debut with their real-life teams for simplicity's sake.

Stay tuned for more...
