Hey all! This is going to be an extensive and, hopefully, interesting dynasty about the history of a professional baseball league in an alternate universe. I will be writing about the first year of the American Baseball Coalition, the first professional baseball league in the universe's history, up to who knows what! This league will be purely fictional, and won't use scouts or coaches. As I know nearly nothing about old time baseball, besides the fact that some new professional leagues conflicted with the old and that some teams were removed from the league each season. I will try and create the same kind of environment, but with a modern flare, as the financials will be similar to today (no free agency but there will be 8 figure salaries and such), as will home run numbers. There will also be 162 games in every major league schedule. However, pitcher endurance is high and the use of three man rotations is on. As the league(s) develop(s) I will change the settings around.

The ABC begins as an 8 team, single division, single conference league that services the Austin Steelers, the Baltimore Colonels, the Charlotte Bulldogs, the Detroit Maroons, the Memphis Pines, the San Francisco Terror, and the Tucson War Dogs.All teams will service a 25 man roster, as well as a reserve roster that can hold up to 15 players. I will look into the first of the eight teams, the Austin Steelers, in my next post. I will also soon be rectifying an almanac, because I intend for this to be a lengthy and in depth process.

EDIT: I have started the almanac, which can be found here.
