Okay I know there has been leagues in the past that have required people to name the team after the MLB team it was or currently is. I have decided to go past that and not only have a league where all the team names are from the MLB but to have a league where the team names and the players are based off the MLB. Being pretty much all baseball every played in the MLB has been recorded this wasn?t to hard. In 1950 their was 8 teams for each division. 10 of the 16 teams Tyson uses had the same name in 1950 as they do today. Obviously 6 of them don?t. Here is a list of the teams and what they were and how that leads to what they are now today.
AL-
1. Boston Red Sox- Before 1950
2. Baltimore ? Use the Saint Louis Browns roster from 1950 to 1953 then become the Orioles.
3. New York Yankees- Before 1950
4. CLEVELAND INDIANS- Before
5. Washington- you can use the Washington Senators until 1961 when the Washington senators became the Minnesota Twins
6. Detroit Tigers- Was made was before 1950
7. Chicago White Sox- Was made way before 1950
8. Kansas City- Use the PHIADELPHIA ATHLETICS (IV) roster until 1954 and then from 1955 to 1967 you use the KANSAS CITY ATHLETICS roster and then from 1968 on you can use the Oakland Athletics roster.
NL
1. New York- Use the New York Giants roster from 1950 to 1957 then from 1957 use the San Francisco Giants roster.
2. Milwaukee- Have to use the Boston Braves Lineup from 1950-1953 then from 1953 to 1965 you use the Milwaukee braves lineup then from 1966 to present use the Atlanta Braves Lineup.
3. Chicago Cubs - before 1950
4. Philadelphia Phillies- Before 1950
5. St Louis Cardinals- Before 1950
6. Cincinnati Reds - Before 1950
7. Brooklyn- Was the Brooklyn Dodgers then in 1957 start using the Los ANGELES Dodgers team. Use the Brooklyn Dodgers team from 1950 to 1957 the use the guys in Los Angeles from 1957 on.
8. Pittsburgh Pirates- before 1950
Okay so my main idea of the league is going to require some very active owners. What you do is when we start off the league you go to the team you pick and you have to find their 1950 rosters. That is not to hard all you have to do is google it. Then you have to have every player in your major league roster be named after a guy that was on that team. So for instance you name every guy that was on the 1950 Pittsburgh pirates after all the guys on the team. Then in 1951 you go and name all your guys to the guys that played in that season. Some player?s names will stay the same but most of the time they are changing. If you do a trade for a player on a different team then you don?t have to change their name until after the season is over then it becomes what you want the player to be named based off that team.
This sounds harder than it actually will be, if you look a couple years in advance you can save yourself time by naming a guy in 1950 someone you know that played 15 years or so. Your Minor league roster does not need to be changed, only your major league roster.
The only problem I have really seen with this is what happens when Sim Dynasty catches up to real lifetime. After thinking a little bit that would be after two or three renews. And I am guessing by then people will have a new name idea or it just goes back to how it is now. I just thought this would be fun, and especially for some of you older guys around here to bring back memories of the 50?s and 60?s hahaha.
Let me know what you guys think

And what do you do when the guy you've got named Mickey Mantle retires in 1964 and the Yankees have four more years with Mickey Mantle on their roster?

Personally I really hate the idea of players who are in the league having their names changed every season. You've got your stud lefty for the Cardinals in the late sixties and all of a sudden his name changes from Steve Carlton to Rick Wise? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.[edit]

If you didn't want to be so advanced with this their is always the idea of the people on your team being named after someone that was on your team. Kinda like the USL. And when you trade them you dont have to rename them.
So it is kinda just like the theme league with this type of idea but with the real baseball teams. Does that make sense?

then you rename young new guy that comes into the league a player from that team, the new guy that comes up could be Mickey Mantle.If you didn't want to be so advanced with this their is always the idea of the people on your team being named after someone that was on your team.

You do know that you can't use the same name twice right?

Okay so with what you just told me this would be way eaiser to do it like how they do it in the USL, but with players from the baseball teams.

we argue about it daily, its gotten rather sad. One of the teams is even named the KC Monarchs and has Jeremy Sowers and Cool Papa Bell on their roster.

indychris this is a pretty bad idea. would cause nothing but confusion and thats before you start HOF voting and trying to keep up all-time records, and in a league as active as it would have to be to do this type of thing you normally have a lot of stat tracking and HOF talk over the years. Not to mention you wont find 16 owners willing to rename part of thier roster every year to comply with this rule.
