1/5/2014 The Alternative Baseball History League is Ready! Hi All, and welcome! This league is set at the beginning of professional baseball, with a goal of forging a path that echoes, but is not a clone, of the path baseball took to be the game it is today. For one thing, we start with the DH over a hundred years early. :) We also have larger rosters and standard rules and schedules. No baseball sim is going to let players catch a foul on the hop or give an umpire the ability to decide how many balls and strikes there will be. So no matter what, this is always going to be a bit different. Where the biggest difference will come in is how "Leagues" form. In Pennant Chase, you can have up to 8 divisions. We'll be having divisions stand in for leagues. We start with the National Association, just like they did in 1871, but when 1876 hits, things might change. That will depend on the owners, with me guiding things by offering options. What I envision is a baseball world where there are more teams earlier, as owners get themselves better organized to expand baseball to more cities faster. And instead of leveling the playing field and giving teams extensive farm teams, we'll be taking the Bill James approach, where teams with less revenue end up keeping the best players they can--and playing in a division (i.e League) where the other owners have similar amounts to spend. We'll integrate from the start, as best I can. There's very little Negro League data available easily and this is a hobby--I'm not getting paid to look stuff up in the archives. When there is a chance to add in an entire team, we aren't going to do what the real baseball did and cherry-pick. Those teams will come on board as equal partners, the way it should have been. Will the ABHL owners try to expand into Canada and Mexico? Will baseball catch on all by itself in other countries? We'll find out together as we go along. If you have an idea, tell me! I want this to be fun, fast, and easy. I've made the rules as simple as I can for all involved, while while giving it a taste of historical flavor, like replicating the nature of early contracts. I hope you like it, I hope you stick around--the plan is to grow and build a league that's not quite like anything else on Pennant Chase! Rob Commish
