Ok, but the Knights get the number one draft pick for next year, right?
@YusufToropov @RuthODay @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7
I’ve thought of doing a WLB year 2. There would be some realignment but the Knights would probably get the #1 big amongst players with an unknown birthplace.
@tabletopmania @RuthODay @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7
Yay!
🙂
There will be a 1948 League -- two leagues, four divisions. NL, AL, NNL, NAL, all teams integrated. 28 teams. Stats will carry over, I think. But there would have to be some exceptions to account for folks like Mays. Case by case, I guess.
Aiming to match your scale -- or at least try to.
@YusufToropov @RuthODay @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7
The fun part about a year 2 for these types of projects is that you can modify year 1 and make the sequel even better.
@tabletopmania @RuthODay @APBAreplay @AlexanderRaine7 yeah I have kind of been looking forward to 2.0 🙂

All kinds of interesting things could happen, kids... listen in on the opening of this radio broadcast, as the announcer proclaims that the big question of the game will be whether Nolan Ryan can find the strike zone.
