There was a game on the Xbox that had old stadiums like the Polo Grounds, the Astrodome, Crosley Field, etc. and you could play as Babe Ruth, Mike Schmidt, Nolan Ryan and several other all-time greats. I can't remember if it was MVP baseball or another one, but you could also do an expansion team and draft. I don't remember if you could use the players in franchise mode, but you could choose an old stadium for your expansion team. The other cool feature was when a team was opening a new stadium in the future in real life when you got to that year in your franchise the game would have the new stadium and it would build a new stadium for teams that needed one like Oakland and at the time, Miami. It is amazing to think a game had all of this 10-12 years ago and we haven't had one close to that since. If SCEA decided to do something like this it would be amazing. Great article.
