I got to make a couple games in the majors *and* I made more money in the first year than all of you guys, because sure some guys got the 3 year big money deals, but my cash/season rate is highest of all.

*And* I'm the #1 prospect in the majors. Go me.

Now. Allow me give you a finger. No, not that finger. The finger with the CHAMPIONSHIP ring on it.

WINNER.

Jestor makes a big splash earning 49 starts at 2B and 57 at 3B as the Brewers finish 3rd in the NL at 90-64 and Izulde becomes the first to haul in some major hardware in celebration of a solid season that saw him 2nd in the NL with 81 RBI, and the dubious honor of first in K's with 105.

Gale seemed destined for great things in the Pacific Coast League, but he could not stay healthy as the Seals finish 64-76 in 6th place in the PCL. The Seals hope a healthy Gale will team with Charlie Comiskey (.312 in 1905) to improve their fortunes in 1906. First Gale needs to learn not catch barehanded.

Ginsberg has turned into one of the bright young stars of the Texas League, which bodes poorly for Midland as he has not signed for 1907 at this time and is looking to move up the Baseball ladder. The Dusters finish 5th in the Texas League, with Ginsberg leading the team in Average, Homeruns and RBI and leading the league in homers for the 2nd straight season.

At last O'Rourke is off the reserve roster and starts the season in the rotation. His fastball is feared, but as much as it's speed, its the fact that he can not control that strikes fear into the hearts of batter and prompts the st Louis cranks to change his nickname to 'Irish Wildfire'. The Browns finish 56-98 in 7th place and Mike leads the league in walks and is third in strikeouts.

At last Neilsen feels the earth of a big league park under his feet, joining a Pirates rotation that features Jesse Tannehill (28-10, 1.50) and Tommy Bond (26-13, 2.01). Neilsen helps the Alleghenys to their 6 straight pennant and 5th World Series title as they defeat the Boston Pilgrims. Perhaps Rob's finest moment is a 13 inning 2-1 complete game vistory over Christy Mathewson and the Giants on August 8th.

Bafou breaks through starting at all three outfield positions at various times and earning various accolades for the Sox, who finish 76-78, taking 5th in the AL. It looks like Bafou has cemented his spot as a regular and is slated to be the starter in RF in 1907 for the windy city's second favorite sons. Despite picking up 4 monthly awards he loses out on the AL Rookie of the Year award to Orioles pitcher Bill Bailey.

06/04/06 - Goes 5 for 5 against Baltimore, driving in 4 runs

Not to be outdone, Jestor becomes the first player post 1900 to crack over 20 home runs as he wows crowds through out the NL with his power. Unfortunately he can not carry the Brewers alone as they slip to 76-78 and finish 17 games behind another pennant winning performance by the Pittsburgh nine. 1907 is Jestor's third straight year leading the league in homers and his second leading in RBI's, but his is denied a second triple crown as Honus Wagner (.352) takes the NL batting crown.

Gale has his best season uey, leading the Seals offense as they finish in 4th place in the PCL at 69-71, but still 15 games back of pennant winners Vernon. Gale is the PCL's number two batter, and while healthier than in past seasons, he was still dinged up numerous times due to his agressive play.

Notes

04/20/07 - Goes 5 for 5 against the Salt Lake Bees with 3 RBI

Bafou has an up and down season for the Sox, putting together good spurts, but also succumbing to the injury bug on more than one occassion as the White Sox come in 25 games back of pennant winning Washington at 68-86, a disappointing 6th place. To make matters worse, after the season ends Chicago decides he no longer fits into their future plans.

Hutt sees his role expand beyond Izulde's clubhouse caddy and becomes the regular second baseman for the Brewers. Despite the low average Hutt is solid in the field and owns a couple of solid pitchers in the league hitting .571 against the Reds Tricky Nichols and .389 against Pittsburgh ace Tommy Bond. His performance, especially on defense is also good enough to impress post season voters and earn his own hardware.

Providing yet another year of stellar defense, the speedy Omark improves at the plate and joins the upper echelon of base stealers in the majors leading the league in that category, while setting a modern day record for strikeouts. Omark is now entrenched as the Browns leadoff hitter and adds some post-season haerdware of his own.

Notes:

06/24/07 - Wins NL player of the week award
10/07/07 - Wins NL gold glove award at 3B
Fun facts - Omarks astonishing 177 K's earns him the nickname of 'Staten island Swoosh' for the sound his bat makes as he misses pitch after pitch

Wood has a rough time finding the plate in his pro debut, but Buffalo management is still confident he will become a top pitcher in the Eastern League, a hope likely driven by greed, with the goal being to sell him off to the highest bidder in the majors as he progresses. The Niagras finish dead last in the EL at 51-69.

01/01/07 - Signs a 1 year deal for $630 with the Sacramento Salons of the PCL
04/04/07 - Named #3 prospect in the PCL

I was actually thinking of that :)

I am having an issue getting the fictional pictures to populate the cards though, so it may just be screen shots. I will fiddle with it later before I start posting 1908.

The only question now is can his arm hold up or will he go the way of Noodles Hahn, burning out in a blaze of glory. The Browns rise to third in the NL, finishing 10 back in third.

Jestor adds the highest honor of all to his mantle place as he leads the Brewers to the NL Pennant, breaking the 7 year strangle hold of the Pittsburgh Alleghenys atop the NL, though unfortunately they fall 4-3 in a tense World Series battle that thrills fans across the country. Despite missing almost 50 games, Jestor captures his 4th straight home run crown, topping off a spectacular season at the plate.

William Omark, with children, circa 1959. In real life, William Omark was my grandfather (1923-1997) and he was in fact a semi-pro third baseman. I don't know what his true skillset was, but I always imagined him being fast and a good fielder. My dad is the short funny looking one in the middle.

Gale has a bit of an off season as rumors circulate he wants out of San Francisco. The Seals plummet to 7th place in the PCL at 61-79 and playing in cavernous Corbett Field is not a bonus for offensive players as Bentons three roundtrippers lead the club.

Notes:

05/01/08 - Wins PCL batter of the month award
05/02/08 - Goes 0-4 against Oakland ending his hitting streak at 21 games
08/17/08 - Injured strained hamstring, out 4 weeks
09/30/08 - Declares he is leaving the team to look for other playing options
Fun fact - After hitting .436 in April, Gale hits .250 or worse in 3 of the remaining 4 months of the season

Nielsen, who is turning into a clubhouse leader for the Pittsburgh nine records his best ERA yet as a pro, but his season is also marred by disappointment as the Alleghenys come in 2nd to the hated Milwaukee Brewers and their flambouyant leader Izulde Jestor. On top of that Nielsen sustains an injury in August that could threaten his career and makes it highly unlikely he will pitch in 1909.

Shepard records yet another solid season for the Bees who finish 3rd in the PCL at 78-62 led by Harry Stovey and Frank 'Home Run' Baker, in addition to Shepard who is not at flashy, but is a consistent workman, hitting 4th for the Salt Lake club.

Notes:

09/30/08 - Received a 1 year contract renewal worth $710
Fun fact - Hit .319 in innings 1-3, but only .196 from the 7th inning on

Bafou started his stint in Hilldale on a rather ominous note missing a large chunk of the season and coming in at a paltry .195 for the year. Still the Giants, who finished 12 games back of Lowell in 6th place, are positive Bafou has a future and lured him back into the fold at season end when he was set to pack his bags and leave.

Notes:

07/29/08 - Injured torn abdominal muscle, out 3-4 months
09/29/08 - Declared himself a free agent
11/18/08 - Signed a 3 year contract with Hilldale worth $7,140
Fun fact - Hit .271 when putting the first pitch into play

Hutt continues to emerge as a more than adequate compliment to Jestor, playing a vital role in Milwaukee's first ever NL Pennant. Hutt played all three infield positions and fielded a solid .968 at his primary spot of second base, also finishing second in the NL in extra base hits, HR and RBI.

Justice elevates his game to level never before seen among our players, becoming the first of the group to top the .400 market, easily leading the PCL in batting as the Rainiers, who still only finished 4th in the PCL despite his heroics. He also led the PCL in walks, total bases and runs, coming in 2nd in homers and he was at his best in the heat of the pennant race, when it counts.

Omark continues to do what he does best, vandalize the base paths and hold down the hot corner with aplomb, though his hitting does continue to gradually improve, as he records a career high OBP of .320 for the 3B Browns. He does miss out on his second gold glove award, which baffles the area sports writers, who all scream east coast bias.

Fun facts - Once again records the odd double/double of leading the league in both strikeouts and steals. Has yet to face O'Rourke, but is hitting a paltry .111 (3 for 27) against Rob Nielsen

Lester contunues to try and find his niche, appearing in just 2 games for the Niagras, but he does manage his first professional win and hopes to have a breakout season in 1909, a sentiment not shared by his employers near the canadian border as they send him packing after the season.

Notes:

07/17/08 - His first and only win is a dandy as he hurls a 5 hits shutout against the Newark Eagles
09/28/08 - Received a 1 year contract renewal worth $670
10/18/08 - Traded to the Midland Dusters (Texas League) for RF Al Wickland, who hit .331 for Midland in 19081909 Debuts
We welcome the following 4 players to the fold for 1909

Fox McCloud - RF Minneapolis, Minnesota
DJ Thomas - C Provo Utah
and our first brother duo
Pitcher Joe Dawkins and CF Jack Dawkins, both from Harrisburg, PA

Man, Lester is having a very hard time. Luckily, he is only 20 years old, so hopefully he has better days ahead of him.

Jason continues to quietly put together a solid career for the Cubbies, who continue to improve finishing 80-74, 6 games out and in 5th place in one of the most hotly contested pennant races to date. Friday is the epitome of a hardnosed, blue collar player and earns his 3rd straight All-Star appearance.

The eversteady Ginsberg continues to make a nice career for himself in the Eastern League where he now earns the princely sum of $4,130 per season, likely a good reason he has not sought the greener pastures of the Major Leagues. The Shamrocks win yet another EL pennant, sharing the honors with Buffalo, who also finishes 73-47.

05/03/09 - Wins the EL player of the week award
06/01/09 - Wins the EL batter of the month award
06/28/09 - Wins the EL player of the week award

Fun fact - Ginsberg's double play partner with Lowell is 2B Pop Lloyd, one of the few black players in professional baseball

'Irish Fire' is the greatest strikeout pitcher in the history of Baseball as he again eclipses his modern day record, fanning 425 in 347 innings to remain as potent as ever despite the Browns falling from 3rd to 6th at 77-77. O'Rourke also broke his own record for K's per 9 innings fanning 11.03 per. At this pace, if his arm does not fall off, O'Rourke will retire as the all-time leader in both strikeouts and walks.

Notes:

06/15/09 - 15 Brewers fall before his blazing fastball
06/19/09 - Fans 15 Brooklyn Robins
06/23/09 - Whiffs 18 Cubbies while hurling a 4 hit shutout
06/27/09 - Selected to play for the NL in the 1909 All-Star game
07/23/09 - Tosses a one hitter against the Cubs en route to 8 total whitewashings on the season

Jestor threatens to become our first Major Leaguer to top the .400 mark and sits right at .400 as late as 09/11/09, but cannot maintain the pace. Milwaukee follows up on their first pennant with a heartbreaking 2nd place finish to the New York Giants, finishing a game off the pace at 85-69.

Guess whos coming to dinner with Jestor and Hutt? Yes Gale leaves the Pacific Coast League in his wake after a subpar season with the Seals and promptly turns Milwaukee on it's ear, hitting a career high .344. Hitting 5th in the lineup behind Jestor and Hutt, Gale becomes a fast favorite in his first major league season and the Brewers now have a nucleus in place that can carry them for years to come.

As expected Nielsen misses the entire 1909 season recovering from his torn ulnar collateral ligament and the Alleghenys slip to 4th place in the standings, their worst finish in franchise history, though they have still never had a losing season. Nielsen appears on track for a full recovery for 1910.

Notes:

Neilsen visited Coney Island twice over the summer while injured

Shepard continues to be a steady player for the Bees, who finish 3rd in the PCL at 74-66 behind the Seattle Rainiers. Despite only being a career .270 hitter, Shepard has a remarkable eye and leads the PCL in both walks (102) and OBP (.399) which is duly appreciated by those that hit behind him, mainly Home Run Baker.

Notes:

06/13/09 - Goes 5 for 5 against the San Francisco Seals, his first career 5 hit game
09/18/09 - Wins the PCL Gold Glove award in RF

Bafou once again does Canada proud as he rebounds from a atrocious year in 1908 to once again provide a decent stick to the Hilldale nine, who finish a disappointing 52-68 and in 7th place despite having Fred Merkle, Ken Williams and Steve Yerkes alongside Jawouk in the lineup.

Notes:

04/28/09 - Injured pincjed nerve, out 3 weeks
08/24/09 - Sick sinusitis, out 4 days
Fun fact - At 6'5" Bafou is the tallest player in the Eastern League

Hutt slumps just a bit for the 2nd place Brewers and continues to have trouble making contact, leading the NL in strikeouts with an eye popping 153. With those numbers one would think every at bat was against O'Rourke. If Hutt can cut down on the whiffs, he will bolster an already potent Milwaukee offense and help 24 game winner Ed Walsh add even more wins to his total.

Notes:

06/16/09 - Injured hamstring tendinitis, out 1 week
Fun fact - Hutt was lethal with a 3-1 count going 6 for 7 (.857) and drawing 27 walks

Big Frank helped lead Seattle to their first ever PCL pennant as the Rainiers finished 84-56, 6 games up on Vernon. Unfortunately chronic back pain limited him to just 99 games, but the sweet swing was still there as he narrowly missed his second .400 season. At the age of 23 Justice has decided to explore opportunites outside of Seattle and hopes to land on a Major League roster in 1910.

The Staten Island flash continues to run wild in 1909 once again leading the league in steals and accumulating a league high 117 walks as well, giving him an OPB of .394. His heroics help the 4th place Browns lead the NL in steals as a team with 207, but they also only manage to swat 13 home runs as a team!

Lester found Midland more to his liking as he logged a career high 49.1 innings in his third pro season, but still does not have a permanent role as started 4 games for the Dusters and appeared in relief in 8. Midland finished 3rd in the Texas League at 69-51, just 3 games back of Sweetwater, as Wood looks toward a more prominent role in 1910.

Notes:

09/28/09 - Received a 1 year contract renewal worth $750
Fun fact - If pitching does not work out Wood may have a place in the field as he hit .389 for Midland in 18 at bats

Young Joe becomes one of two new players to get their start in the Cape Cod League, marking the first time any of our guys have played in the small independant circuit. Though given limited opportunites, Joe did show well for such a young pitcher and will undoubtedly leave the CCL for greener pastures in the coming seasons.

Joe's older brother Jack had signficantly more good fortune in his first year as a pro, earning a regular spot in the outfield for the Buffalo Niagra's who finished tied with Lowell for the EL pennant. He also recorded one painful honor, leading the EL in times hit by a pitch with 14, a non too comforting achievement to be sure.

Our other Cape Cod League player, DJ struggles to find time for the Chatham squad, garnering just 8 at bats the entire season for the Athletics, who run away with the Cape Cod League pennant going 66-24 and finishing 12 games up on Bourne. Chatham is led by Cad Coles (.331) and Joe Willis (14-4, 1.75), two names barely know outside of Massachusetts.

Out final rookie is by far the most succesful as McCloud goes straight from the factory teams of Minnesota to a spot in the Cincinnati Reds outfield, where he give a more than adequate account of himself, showing well at the plate and in the field. The Reds finish 3rd in the NL at 83-71, 3 games back of New York as a reborn Noodles Hahn wins 23 games and Miller Huggins and Cap Anson lead the offense.

Yeah that was a surprising pick, but Fox was consistent. Beginning June 4th his average never went below .255 or above .270 the remainder of the season and he was hitting .268 when selections were made. Had to be the glove...

Oh yeah, went 0-3 in the All-star game :)

We welcome the three new players for 1910, giving us 19 seeking fame and fortune.

David Gonzalez and Mike Schaplowsky both set out from their homes in Fremont California and will be 18 and 19 respectively when the season starts. Gonzalez plays LF and is said to pack a fearsome wallop, while Schaplowsky plays CF and is known for his blazing speed and cannon arm.

Joining them will by 19 yr old pitcher Tim Finkenstadt, said to possess good control and major league level stuff, Tim hails from Dayton, Onio and grew up watching the Hometown Dayton Marcos of the Federal League. A league in which we have no active players incidentally.

1910 is done but this morning I am getting a no signal message on my "gameing PC" and I have ruled out a bad monitor, so it may likely be a fried video card :(

Waiting to call my PC guy at 8, but it may be a few days before I get things fixed. I don't want to just slap in a new video card without having him run a diagnostic check, so probably nothing further until after the Christmas. Friggin rig is only 9 months old too :mad:

Things are working again, just came back up, so no clue??? I talked to my computer guy and he said it could be a oneoff glitch. I ran all my systems tasks and downloaded the latest driver for my card, so hopefully that resolves it and we can now go on :)

The Cubbies had a solid season coming in 88-66, but it was only good enough for 4th, 19 games behind the 107 win Milwaukee Juggernaught. Friday led the Cubs in hitting and was #1 in the NL with an OBP of .433, thanks to an astonishing 125 walks, also tops in the league.

Notes:

06/26/10 - Selected to the 1910 NL All-Star team
Fun fact - Despite his high number of walks, Friday put the first pitch in play 68 times and hit .353

O'Rourke was a bit more human than usual in 1910, though his overpowering fastball still accounted for the most strikeouts in baseball as the Browns tied Chicago for 4th in the NL at 88-66. O'Rourke was a 20 game winner for the 4th straight year, but also gave up a league high 22 homeruns, so when batters did connect the ball traveled.

Notes:

05/09/10 - Wins NL player of the week award
06/26/10 - Selected to the 1910 NL All-Star team
Fun fact - 'Only' recorded 3 shutouts, his lowest total since his rookie season

Jestor continues to be one of the top batsmen in baseball as the Brewers run away with the NL pennant with a stellar record of 107-47. Jestor was joined by ace Ed Walsh (26-10, 2.41) but the lethal duo once again fell short in October, falling to the Highlanders in the fall classic 4 games to 2, winning the opener, but then losing 3 straight.

Gale supplants Jestor and the Brewers leading hitter in his second year with the Brewers, playing a huge part in their pennant run. Gale's .351 average and 208 hits were both tops in the league and Benton has settled into the 5th spot, forming the most potent middle of the order in the league with Jestor and NL HR king Patrick Hutt.

Notes:

05/26/10 - Went 5 for 5 against the Cubs, scoring 3 times

The Bees take 3rd place in the PCL (77-63) and get another solid season from Shepard, who is second on the team in hitting behind Frank 'Home Run' Baker. Tim recorded a fine .402 OPB, which was good enough for 2nd in the PCL, but as 1910 closes it appears he will be seeking fame and fortune in another city last year.

Notes:

08/11/10 - Injured sprained finger, out for 2 weeks
09/28/10 - Declares himself a free agent
Fun fact - Tim was at his best in the clutch, hitting .341 from the 7th inning on and .304 with 2 outs

Hutt has a power surge, leading the Majors in home runs, RBI and total bases, but also leads in strikeouts, going down swinging 161 times which is the second highest season total in major league history. Despite the high K total, Hutt bats 4th for Milwaukee, giving him plenty of opportunity to drive in runs with Jestor hitting in front of him.

Justice absolutely destroy EL pitching in his debut season in the league, surpassing .400 for the 2nd time in his career for the pennant winning Shamrocks. Besides batting, Justice also leads the EL in hits, home runs, runs scored and walks. Though he is not competing against major league pitching, this is undoubtedly the finest season of any of our players.

Dominance, Nielsen style.

Mr. Nielsen would also point out the pinpoint accuracy, allowing only 62 walks. Of those 62, 61 were umpire bias. Nielsen intentionally walked one batter so he could bean Jestor.

And Mr. O'Rourke would say that accuracy is overrated. Put the fear of God and "Irish Fire" into 'em. :devil:

Just finished simming 1911, steroids in the deadball era as one of our players set a major league record with 37 round trippers!!

As an aside, I am going to tone down power numbers. Originally I made the boosts to power more modern, so I have toned them down to be solid for the deadball era. So this will hopefully be known as the one and only PED season :)

1911 is complete and we experience a power surge of epic proporations that ushers forth outcrys from the games traditionalists, which will be looked at for 1912. The New York Giants are the world Champions beating the Boston Pilgrims 4 games to 3. One unique aspect is that Lester Wood played in the field for Wareham when not pitching.

Wow, the CCL must really be a low-end league, with Lester leading the league in two batting categories. Maybe I should have made him a hitter, instead of a junk-ball pitcher.

If you could win an award for being able to strike out, I would always win.

It actually is the lowest.....and has a lot of 40yr olds in it :)

Still hit .300 though....

The 1912 season saw owners abandon the lively ball of 1911 and hitting regressed accordingly, while pitching once again ascended to a position of dominance, led by Mike O'Rourke, who shattered his season record for strikeouts. 'Irish Fire' is just 27, but has already surpassed 2500 K's in his career. The potent Milwaukee trio of Hutt, Gale and the always flambouyant Jestor led the Brewers to the NL pennant, while each appearing in the All-Star game. A Championship was not in the cards however as they fell to the Boston Pilgrims 4 games to 3. The Dawkins brothers each collected Pennants on their respective teams (Chatham and Buffalo) even though Joe spent the year on the reserve squad, which did not stop him from signing a deal with the PCL nine in Sacramento, being joined in the PCL by Lester Wood, who parlayed a fine season into the 3 year deal with the Salt Lake Bees.
