Luckily for me, I've taken to simming nice and slow like in recent years. That and the fact that I like my solo leagues small (8 teams, usually) has allowed me to manually name all my players. My league is based in England and is set to 95% foreign, with talent comming in mostly from Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, so the game generated names are in some cases pretty far off the mark.

Pure silliness!

Indeed. That's not American so it doesn't matter!

Damn right!!

My custom league I play at home has a division with Pointe Claire, Dorval, Pierrefonds, Beaconsfield and Kirkland!

I actually have a partically finished league with the 6 areas of Pointe Claire. (Valois, Cedar Park, Northview ect ect) I have the ballpark pics of local parks and will try to set up an actual monitary system like 4$ tickets and 500 seat parks and see how it pans... all the teams have the same laid out unifroms but with different colours and the same league logo on all the caps. I may expand it and haveother divisions with other WI areas (Pierrefonds, Dorval, Beaconsfield, Kirland... maybe even DDO! )

I played my minor baseball for Dollard, but my family eventually moved to Baie-d'Urfé. In my online league, ny minor league affiliates are B-U, Pointe-Claire and Kirkland.

It's a pretty cool setup, I never really thought about making a really, well "regional" league like that. As far as I know, there aren't really that many good parks in Pointe-Claire - the only one I can think of is Terra Cotta.
