Managing a franchise in historical mode
Just curious, how many folks actually take a franchise in historical mode and try to manage it through the years and decades.
I thought about taking the Yankees beginning in 1903 and seeing if I could match their feat of 26 world championships through the next 100 years, or taking on another legendary franchise like the Dodgers, Cubs etc. Usually, in my historical sims I just create a league and watch it develop. This would be something different... and a good way to learn some more baseball history |

I do. I love historical "what if" leagues, so I usually start in 1903 with an inaugrial (?) draft, then take over the Yankees with whatever they ended up with. I do amateur drafts, so players dont always go to the same real life team. I set all rosters and lineups and whatnot, then sim a week. Then I check out all the stuff like injuries and transactions for the rest of the league. Rinse and repeat.
Like you said, it is a great way to learn some baseball history, especially some of the little known players. There is a story behind almost ever historical major leaguer

Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.
