ABA League has 16 Openings for 1st Human Season - Page 2

It is a smooth looking site, but out of principle, I cannot be a part of any league that has B.J. Surhoff hitting 72 homers.

It's gotta be the flaxseed oil.

Jeremy Weimer · 12-29-2004, 01:50 AM

B.J. Surhoff rules. He should've hit 80.

2 teams available. 4 still on reserve. Available teams are Detroit Tigers and Washington Nationals.

Hi, I have the Red Sox reserved and have a couple of questions.

1. Will the full league file be available for download? Right now things like team histories are missing, so some of the txt files aren't there.

2. Will the full CATO History be uploaded? A lot of the player pages are missing when I click on them. Mostly "page not found" error received.

3. This question is just out of curiosity, but was wondering why the change around of some teams? Such as Red Sox in NL, Phillies in AL, etc. Is it just personal preference?

Thanks - my response to your 2nd email will be forth coming tonight when I get home from work.

Cheers

Looks like a solid base. Good luck with it.

1. Will the full league file be available for download? Right now things like team histories are missing, so some of the txt files aren't there.

A full league file will be made available with the logos, stadiums, etc. That will be up once I get the players up on on the cato history page.

2. Will the full CATO History be uploaded? A lot of the player pages are missing when I click on them. Mostly "page not found" error received.

Full Cato history will be uploaded. In fact everything is now online except player pages which are being uploaded as we speak. The player pages alone count for 735 megs of space so it'll take awhile to upload. Have roughly 200 megs uploaded at the moment. Should be finished tonight.

3. This question is just out of curiosity, but was wondering why the change around of some teams? Such as Red Sox in NL, Phillies in AL, etc. Is it just personal preference?

I like the in state rivalries and for a world series matchup to be for example, a San Fran-LA or Pitt-Philly I thought would be interesting. I just didn't want 2 teams from the same state playing in the same division. Reason I split up Boston-New York was because of my MLB interest in seeing the two teams play against each other in a World Series, so I decided to recreate that in this league even though it doesn't carry the same significance.

Alright, 15 of the teams have confirmed intent to join, except the Baltimore Orioles. The 48 hour deadline will expire tomorrow. If I haven't recieved confirmation by around 11 AM or so tomorrow, then the Orioles will open back up. If anyone is interested in the potential Orioles franchise, feel free to take a look and email me the required info that can be found on the site. Just make sure to remember there's no 100% guarantee that the spot will open up.

Baltimore GM responded and declined ownership, which opens the Orioles up officially now. If interested, check out out at http://www.ababaseball.net

I got scared when I saw the thread title, wondering how this league I have a team in suddenly had 16 openings, and why I wasn't considered a human owner.

Your league looks interesting, though - good luck with it.
