Here's some more information for historical players looking for accuracy. I made this a few years ago when OOTP2 came out.

Do you have this page in an excel spreadsheet? Looks very nice and could come in handy.

Bluenoser · 03-06-2003, 02:01 PM

Yes, excel spreadsheet.

Give me an email addy if you'd like a copy.

Spent most of the day updating this. It now includes a lot more information.

Go Tribe · 03-07-2003, 04:43 PM

holy **** bruce - this rocks!

long time no talk since our hhasl days too (or was it bcb?

)

Bluenoser · 03-07-2003, 04:49 PM

Hey Scott: Glad you like it..........if you would like a copy of the spreadsheet, give me an email addy and I'll send it to you.

Had to be HHASL........was never in BCB (well, for 2 weeks and had to leave due to work).

You still playing HH? I've been into OOTP since version 2, hooked since 3.

Awesome web site and league you have too.......

Go Tribe · 03-07-2003, 05:18 PM

thanks for the kudos on the website - it definitely was hhasl - i recently checked back www.hhasl.com and it seems they started over so all records of my first sim championship have been lost!

i just got hh2k4 and am amazed at the graphics - no mouse sucks but when high heat edit and the graphic mods come out, the game will be great

Le Grande Orange · 03-07-2003, 07:46 PM

I mentioned this in the General Discussions area as well, but if it gets lost there with the high post rate I thought I'd mention it here too.

Bruce's site is great, but if there's room it can have some additional stadium data incorporated into it. I made a complete list of ALL the alternate stadiums used by various teams and when in the season a team switched stadiums, including dates and numbers of games played.

It can be found at this link:

Depending on just how detail oriented someone is, it might be of some interest.

Bluemen · 03-07-2003, 09:10 PM

Please send me copy as well. thanks.

Go Tribe · 03-07-2003, 09:22 PM

given bruce's talent with excel, he could probably easily turn the stadium names on his sheet into hyperlinks to your stadium info

Bluenoser · 03-09-2003, 06:59 AM

Le Grande Orange - Great info there, I'll look at incorporating it into my spreadsheet.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, Flu got me late Fri evening and just getting out of bed for first time this mornin (Sun)..........

BruceM: This is a great resource. Thanks for sharing it with us.

RJolley · 03-09-2003, 05:09 PM

Bruce: Do you have a place set up to download the file when it's updated? I'd like a copy of the updated version.

Thanks for all of the work.

ZouDave · 03-09-2003, 05:30 PM

if you can send the .xls file my way, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!!

ZouDave@kc.rr.com

Bluenoser · 03-09-2003, 07:29 PM

Once I've updated the file with the Stadium info, I'll put it up for download and post a link. Should be ready by the end of the week no problem.

Just want to update a few more things on it, as schedules were a little different back in the early 1900's as far as amount of games played goes.

Le Grande Orange · 03-09-2003, 11:23 PM

Bruce, if you have any schedule questions at all, just ask me. I am literally the resident schedule expert. And I have the files and posts to prove it.

Quick rundown on some of the early years:

1893-1897: 132 games
1898-1899: 154 games
1900-1903: 140 games
1904-1918: 154 games
........1919: 140 games
1920-1960: 154 games

NOTE: The 1918 season was originally scheduled to be 154 games per team, but due to the U.S. entry into WWI and the war draft requirements, MLB cut the season short, ending play on Monday, Sept. 2nd. The average number of games actually played by each team was approximately 127 games.

I'll also have to provide more detailed info on the Cleveland Indians from 1936-1946, but there is some inconsistencies in some of the sources as to how often the team split games between League Park and Cleveland Stadium; also, there is some variability from year to year as well. But the general rule mentioned in the link is correct.
