I had been waiting for there to be a league expansion from 10 to 12. Unfortunately, the 1917 Cleveland team cheated the system and went 77-85 and made a run to the titleġ915 was a big year for the league. This was great because there were always really good teams missing out on the playoffs. So 54 years before the MLB, I introduced the wild card. Cleveland deserved a chance to play for the title. I felt bad because Philadelphia won 92 games and made the playoffs. In 1914, a 96 win Cleveland team missed the playoffs by 2 games. They made the playoffs every year from 1907-1918 except for once, and winning the next 3 Cups after St. Philadelphia continued their runs to the championship. 400, and Garcia set up the foundation for one of the great pitching careers. Pryor was at a time the best hitter in the league, and the first player to hit. Louis started the decade off with 3 straight championships(and 6 straight playoff appearances). Every season from 1903-1924 had either Philadelphia, Dallas, or St. The 10 team league continued into the next decade. Most starts and 356 wins, with a 2.36 ERA Jake "Bandit" Ivory - Noted when he had a low era but was on a bad Baltimore team. Johnathan "Meter Man" Butler - Only played 6 seasons before a forced retirement, hit. Pat "Putt-Putt" Hill - Set the record of 34 wins in 1902 with Cleveland, finished with 264 wins and a 2.61 ERAĢ. Tanner Jones - Not much of a hitter, but won 7 straight Gold Gloves at 2B from 1901-1907 and 5 All Star AppearancesĤ. New York Royals Philadelphia Keystones San Antonio Toritosĥ. I tried to differentiate the logos, colors, and jerseys as much as I could with the stylings of 1901 identities.īaltimore Charms Boston Beacons Buffalo ChiefsĬhicago Juggernaut Cleveland Barons Dallas Wolves This would set up a golden era the next decade. This was helped by a AA and A level league added in 19 in the Great Lakes and Texas respectively. The league was evolving with more expensive contracts, more players, and better hitters. They became the first team to three-peat winning cups in 1908, 1909, and 1910. They struggled with San Antonio, but then started to build up through the draft. The first expansion team to ever compete was Dallas. Their dynasty continued as they made 10/11 playoffs up until 1918. The Keystones won the east for 4 straight seasons, winning one cup in the process. They became the 2nd dominant team of the decade. They won the first two America Cups of this run.ĭuring this time, the Philadelphia Keystones were struggling. The Pioneers won the west 4 straight seasons from 1903 to 1906. The Pioneers then went on a run as the first dynasty. The next year in an expansion-filled west, they went 94-68 and finished 3rd. Louis Pioneers went 58-104 the first season, finishing last. So I put 5 in each, and gave the winner the right to play for the title. The league could be divided into two subleagues, the east and west. The teams were the Dallas Wolves, and San Antonio Toritos. The way this happened was the game picks cities on a list of cities without teams, and gives them random names from a list of team names. At the end of the year, I had an email saying ALOB EXPANDS BY 2 TEAMS. The Chicago Juggernaut won the league, but the Boston Beacons won the Cup. The best two teams qualified for the America Cup. The original 8 teams would start in a single 8 team division.

There were starters with 1.50 ERAs, and 4 man rotations.

As I'm typing this, it's 1925, and going strong except for a broken season in 1925 involving windows shutting down, a season being lost, and then upon start all the new season's stats adding to the lost one. My plan is to just make a post every 10 years of game time with logos, teams, champions, players, etc. I gave them a AAA league of teams in North Carolina(which I won't show you), and a Rookie League in Florida(which is a city in Florida, then Rookie (pro team name). Those teams were the Baltimore Charms, Boston Beacons, Buffalo Chiefs, Chicago Juggernaut, Cleveland Tycoons, New York Royals, Philadelphia Keystones, and the St.

The American League of Baseball started in 1900 with 8 teams. So I thought "what the hell, I can have someone do it for me!"
#Ootp baseball logos series
I had plans to do a concept series where I evolve a league from 1901 and expand to markets and logos of that era. I still argue that it was no fault of my own. After a few seasons managing in the minors, I took a GM job and then ran the low budget, small market Tampa Bay Tarpons into the ground. I did a 24 league save with teams whose logos I made from scratch. After playing with an MLB save, I found out about custom leagues. Little did I know that this game was EXTREMELY customizable. I bought it because I love Football Manager, and I had money this summer. Out of the Park is a baseball simulation game.
