My latest try at the history of modern baseball will use actual transactions as they occurred in real life with actual lineups. Free agency will show up when it occurred in real life along with other things such as franchise changes/movements.

All players will:
1) Debut when they actually did
2) Retire when they did
3) Miss seasons due to Military Service or other events

If anyone would like to have a player followed, please let me know.

The Deadball Era

In this era leg power will dominate and the same lifeless baseball was kept in play throughout the game. More than the runner, we should see that the game belongs to the pitcher. The parks are large and lacked enclosures in the outfield. An array of trick pitches, including the "spitter" are legal. Lets see where this takes us beginning with the 1901 season.

1901 - Year In Review
A new league was first conceived and nurtured in the minds of Western League President Ban Johnson and White Sox owner Charlie Comiskey. Johnson turned the league into the strongest of the minor leagues within 2 years after taking the helm. Thanks to arranging for solid ownership for each franchise and strongly backing his umpires in all disputes, the fans started coming to this firmly controlled League's games. In 1900, the NL reduced its franchises from 12 to 8 and the newly christened American League moved a franchise into the just abandoned Cleveland area and a franchise was placed in Chicago, after the reluctant consent by the Cubs after Johnson agreed to keep the league as a minor league. In 1901, Johnson made his move. The AL withdrew from the National Agreement and declared its intention to now become a second major league. The AL also erased its midwest region character and placed franchises in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia now had franchises in both the AL & NL. To obtain players, the AL raided the senior loop for stars as well as everyday players with large salaries offered by those financially sound owners in the AL.

When the AL's first season opened, each team found itself infused with talent from the older league. Possibly the brightest star that first year was Nap Lajoie, second sacker for the Philadelphia Athletics, who copped the league's first Outstanding Hitter Award after jumping over from the Philadelphia Phillies. In addition to hitting .415, Lajoie also drove in 115 runs and hit 14 home runs.

The Boston Americans took the first AL title by a whopping 32 games over a Chicago club which suffered a late summer pitching collapse. The Americans were led by Buck Freeman (.339-15-92), Jimmy Collins (.330-8-106) and Cy Young (35-4, 1.21 ERA), the AL's Outstanding Pitcher. Chicago finished in 2nd place, being led by the bats of Fielder Jones (.318-2-71) and Fred Hartman (.308-3-93) along with the arms of Roy Patterson (20-13, 2.01 ERA) and Jack Katoll (16-14, 2.86 ERA). Despite pending litigation in the courts and a declared state of war with the NL, the American League was off and running.

While the upstart AL was playing its first major league schedule, the established NL had finished its 25th campaign. The entry of the AL onto the major league stage also opened an escape value for the players. The bidding war between the leagues allowed about thirty 1900 regulars to jump from the NL to the AL. The new league occupied three of the abandoned NL cities of the 1890's and new teams were placed in direct competition with clubs in Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. Brooklyn and Pittsburgh, along with Philadelphia, provided a closely ran contest that was finally won by the Pirates on the next to last day of the season. As St.Louis proudly displayed the NL's biggest winner, Jack Powell (24-11, 2.42 ERA), the New York Giants unveiled the arm of Christy Mathewson, a 18-game winner in his first full season.

After the 1901 season, the NL owners broke into two factions and the deadlock resulted in the formation of a 3-man directorate of John T. Brush, A.H. Soden and James A. Hart to assume the direction of this shaken league.

doncoryell All Star OVR: 20 Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Rhode Island	Modern History of Baseball -- 1901 to ??? -- OOTP 12 My latest try at the history of modern baseball will use actual transactions as they occurred in real life with actual lineups. Free agency will show up when it occurred in real life along with other things such as franchise changes/movements. All players will: 1) Debut when they actually did 2) Retire when they did 3) Miss seasons due to Military Service or other events If anyone would like to have a player followed, please let me know.

The Deadball Era In this era leg power will dominate and the same lifeless baseball was kept in play throughout the game. More than the runner, we should see that the game belongs to the pitcher. The parks are large and lacked enclosures in the outfield. An array of trick pitches, including the "spitter" are legal. Lets see where this takes us beginning with the 1901 season.

doncoryell All Star OVR: 20 Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Rhode Island	Re: Modern History of Baseball -- 1901 to ??? 1901 - Year In Review A new league was first conceived and nurtured in the minds of Western League President Ban Johnson and White Sox owner Charlie Comiskey. Johnson turned the league into the strongest of the minor leagues within 2 years after taking the helm. Thanks to arranging for solid ownership for each franchise and strongly backing his umpires in all disputes, the fans started coming to this firmly controlled League's games. In 1900, the NL reduced its franchises from 12 to 8 and the newly christened American League moved a franchise into the just abandoned Cleveland area and a franchise was placed in Chicago, after the reluctant consent by the Cubs after Johnson agreed to keep the league as a minor league. In 1901, Johnson made his move. The AL withdrew from the National Agreement and declared its intention to now become a second major league. The AL also erased its midwest region character and placed franchises in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia now had franchises in both the AL & NL. To obtain players, the AL raided the senior loop for stars as well as everyday players with large salaries offered by those financially sound owners in the AL. When the AL's first season opened, each team found itself infused with talent from the older league. Possibly the brightest star that first year was Nap Lajoie, second sacker for the Philadelphia Athletics, who copped the league's first Outstanding Hitter Award after jumping over from the Philadelphia Phillies. In addition to hitting .415, Lajoie also drove in 115 runs and hit 14 home runs. The Boston Americans took the first AL title by a whopping 32 games over a Chicago club which suffered a late summer pitching collapse. The Americans were led by Buck Freeman (.339-15-92), Jimmy Collins (.330-8-106) and Cy Young (35-4, 1.21 ERA), the AL's Outstanding Pitcher. Chicago finished in 2nd place, being led by the bats of Fielder Jones (.318-2-71) and Fred Hartman (.308-3-93) along with the arms of Roy Patterson (20-13, 2.01 ERA) and Jack Katoll (16-14, 2.86 ERA). Despite pending litigation in the courts and a declared state of war with the NL, the American League was off and running. While the upstart AL was playing its first major league schedule, the established NL had finished its 25th campaign. The entry of the AL onto the major league stage also opened an escape value for the players. The bidding war between the leagues allowed about thirty 1900 regulars to jump from the NL to the AL. The new league occupied three of the abandoned NL cities of the 1890's and new teams were placed in direct competition with clubs in Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. Brooklyn and Pittsburgh, along with Philadelphia, provided a closely ran contest that was finally won by the Pirates on the next to last day of the season. As St.Louis proudly displayed the NL's biggest winner, Jack Powell (24-11, 2.42 ERA), the New York Giants unveiled the arm of Christy Mathewson, a 18-game winner in his first full season. After the 1901 season, the NL owners broke into two factions and the deadlock resulted in the formation of a 3-man directorate of John T. Brush, A.H. Soden and James A. Hart to assume the direction of this shaken league.
