Single-A Baseball on The Show? Un-Flocking-Believable! Go Myrtle Beach Pelicans!

Hello beach-goers! Welcome to Myrtle freakin' Beach, where our summers are hot and our babe tourists are hotter!

However, as much as American's love the beach, the sand, and the cool waves, there's something that American's love even more; baseball. When you add the average American's two favorite things together, you get us..the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, the class-A affiliate of the
Texas written.jpg.

Now I know what you're thinking. How in the world am I planning on bringing single-A baseball action to THE SHOW? Since our buddies at THE SHOW didn't provide us with playable single-A teams, what I've done is I've transformed what was formally known as double-A in the game, to advance single-A. Right now every double-A team in my game has correct single-A pitching staffs and single-A starting lineups. Essentially, I'll be using the Frisco RoughRiders team uniforms on THE SHOW, but with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans roster. It's not the most convenient option, but it's the most reasonable. All teams I play will be referred to as single-A teams as I'm attempting to hide the fact that I'm forced to use AA team names in the game. I'm a Myrtle Beach Pelicans season ticket holder, the youngest in the franchise's history, as I'm still in my young 20's. I will be calling up/sending down players as it happens in real life, so don't get too used to these players, as at this level of baseball change happens often.

SEASON BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As many of you know, I've been the manager of the Louisville Bats at the AAA level of the Cincinnati Reds organization for the past 2 seasons on THE SHOW and I've ran a very successful dynasty thread which has made it to the first page of most viewed baseball threads here at Operation Sports, thanks to all of my dedicated followers in the past. Unfortunately for my Bats franchise, after moving to Myrtle Beach recently I've lost a lot of interest in the Bats, and have been working on ways for weeks on how to get to play with my now- hometown Pelicans on THE SHOW. What I've done, is I have taken the franchise I was already 15 games in to with Louisville, and I am taking over the record of the RoughRiders in that franchise which was 8-7. So I'll be starting off 8-7 with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (Frisco uniforms).

I hope this thing lasts a long time and you as the reader enjoy. Please, post as much as you want and keep giving me that 'thumbs up' button. I like to know people are feeling my work. Hope you like the work I put in to this, and I'll try to keep this going as long as I can.

One last thing to remember..

Thank you for this. Really, thank you. I was very close to moving to Myrtle Beach but it fell through. I've gone to Myrtle almost every year of my life for vacation so I'm definitely going to enjoy this!

The thing I love about your minor league franchises are how you bring everything together with the promotions and whatnot. While its not the most important thing to a franchise it adds a nice sense of realism to it.

Thanks a lot brother. My whole life in sports video games I've always been about the extreme detail and attention to realism. I'm glad to have you following along.

Heck yeah dude, I'm hoping this thing lives up to the expectations! I know I'm looking forward to it.

A few games have already been played and the reports should be coming before you know it!
