It's amazing the impact great unis and logos have on a fictional dynasty/league. You're doing a great job with writeups but the look really adds something. I have a hard time getting into fictional leagues but this has my interest. Well done!

Thanks, EM. The uniforms are really fun to make. The logos are going to get harder as this thing reaches the modern era, but that is a long ways off. I am humbled by the views this thread is getting. I appreciate everyone following along. I am having a lot of fun doing this.

Then, on May 28, he won his 51st game to become the ABC's winningest pitcher. Since Bishop is longer serving as a SP, Webster has a chance to put some distance between himself and 2nd on that list.
