An Invitation for 'Hard-Core's' only

I thought this was an invitation to view the Commish's 'Private Reserve' of quality Exotic Pictures, but it turned out to be a cool idea. I'm down with the idea and call dibs on the 'Chicago Breeze' (as long as I can change the lame-ass name; there's precedence - many of the teams of that era had yearly nicknames that changed with the whims of the sportswriter's, e.g. Brooklyn Bridegrooms). I promise not to ask for 'Censors'. Here's Joe's original post:

First came the Canyon League modern era (1986-present). Then we ventured back into the past to complete the Canyon League retro era.(1961-1985). Now we go way, way back in time, to the beginning of the 20th century, to unearth the Canyon League's 'way-way retro era'. Beginning this December, I'm going to kick off the Canyon League's 1911 season, the earliest 'Super-Advanced' baseball season Strat-O-Matic has ever produced. Yes, you heard me correctly- the 1911 season. For those who know nothing about the magical 1911 season, a couple of suggestions; go to the 02-27-04 entry of the Stratosphere on the official S-O-M website. It has an extensive and interesting overview of the season. Also, look up the season on the baseball-reference.com website. Twenty-five future Hall-of-Famer's participated in the 1911 season, including Cy Young himself, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, and Hall-of-Fame worthy "Shoeless Joe" Jackson... This season is so old even Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, Chicago were yet to be built! Managing in this era will be entirely different from the way we run our current Canyon League teams! Most AL and NL teams averaged between 25 to 40 homeruns for the season, but stole an average of 200 bases. The fielding was entirely different from today as well; The average MLB team committed almost 300 errors for 1911. You heard me right- 300... Look up the numbers. They'll fascinate and perplex you.The season will be played between December 2 and mid-March, 2008. The league will consist of eight original Canyon League teams:St. Louis Steamers (today's Atlanta Rebels)Boston Stranglers (today's Detroit Scouts)New York Warriors (not the Knights)Philadelphia BluecoatsChicago BreezePittsburgh SteelmillsDetroit ExplorersWashington Americans(No teams West of the Mississippi- no Seraphs or Cannons or Gulls)The schedule will be 56 games long. One league, no divisions. Each team plays the others 8 times. Top two teams compete in the World Series. Draft will be a combination of human picks (assuming anyone wants to participate) and Draft-O-Matic. Rosters will be between 25 & 28 players.If you can commit to playing a four-game series every two weeks (same as we do now) over this winter and then again next winter to complete the season, and would like a unique challenge unlike anything you've ever managed in Strat-O before, then drop me an e-mail and I'll give you more details.--Emmert
