Fields of Dreams: A Season with Classic Teams

Here's the idea: Take some of the best teams of the past 40 years and make them play a 162-game schedule, including playoffs. Who would win? Who would disappoint? Would the 1986 Mets outlast the 1980 Phillies? Would the 1962 Giants finish ahead of the 2001 Diamondbacks?

Now we'll know the answer to these questions. Follow this dynasty thread as I take Knight's classic roster set and play an entire season. I'll give you League Leaders and Standings after each week is completed, as well as pictures and videos from a few games.

Week 1 Recap

The 1963 Dodgers start the season strong with a 6-0 record, including three consecutive shutouts to open the season against the 1984 Padres. In the AL, the 1989 A's and 1984 Tigers lead their divisions with a 5-1 record. Highlights of the week include Dennis Martinez of the 1995 Indians throwing a 1-hitter on opening day....Don Baylor of the 1982 Angels blasting 5 home runs and posting a .409 batting average....and Mickey Mantle of the 1961 Yankees leading the majors with 10 RBI.

Love it. Will follow for sure.

2 things:

Nevermind, point one was wrong.

2. Nice topic title

Also, if you would please do me a favor, can you give me an update on Billy Pierce (SP Giants) every once in a while? I'm curious to see how he does.

Pirates leading their division?

lol. I almost forgot that they new how to win a long long time ago.

Actually he's correct on both of them. It's the '62 Giants and the '80 Phillies. Knight was originally going with the '77 Phils but decided on '80 instead.

Idesign, I like it and this will definitely be a must-read for me. Looks like a few guys really sprinted out of the gates. I started my season this weekend too and will be posting a Dynasty page soon. It will be cool to compare the two and see how similar (or not) that they play out.

Great idea! I was going to this too, but well...I have my hands full now. I like your layout with the game screens. That is what I am doing with my dynasty as well. Keep up the good work I will be following.
