Season 15 News

Welcome to Season 15 in MLB! Another exciting season is in store and maybe another big WS party at Erffs!

HOF - This is the first season for the Hall of Fame. As far as I know, there are automatic nominations by the AI and you can nominate up to two players that played for your team that is in the list (erff said he nominated three so not sure, the release said two). The list will be highlighted as to which players you can nominate with nominate as the action. As for Jose's HOF question: If a player is nominated to be voted into or inducted into the Hall of Fame the franchise that is represented will be the franchise that he played the most games for in his career.

Fielding Instructors - There has been a bunch of forum hoopla about this as WIS has decided there is a shortage in many Worlds. If you ask me, they made their own mistakes with this problem. We have all the way to 33 available that want to be a FI. 18 of those are on Medicare and visit the geriatric ward before each game to see if they are still alive. I was hoping my FI from last season would want to stay this season. Lo and behold he does as the Bench Coach! Herein lies the problem.

Movers and Shakers:

cmchristians moved the St. Louis Barracudas to Minnesota and named them the Twins. Not a bad move in my opinion.

mitchrapp took over the Monterrey franchise and has moved them to Kansas City and nicknamed them the Royals. We are going to miss edham and the silent Corn Dogs. Welcome to one of the best HBD worlds there is mitchrapp.

knucklebones moved from New Orleans to St Louis and named them the Cardinals. Another good move if you ask me.


yoker70 moved his Kansas City Royal club to Colorado and named them the Rockies. Oh why oh why? Colorado Springs maybe!

wholck moved his team from Trenton to Philadelphia and became the Phillies. Or is that Fillies? I hated going to Trenton to play, not sure about y'll.

We are still waiting the fate of the Oklahoma City franchise as I am not sure if he is going to move the team or not.

It is official as we are to go go go!

jsholmes did move the Oklahoma Franchise to Salem and became the Super Sequoias. Maybe the best move of them all.

I don't know about the rest of you, but most of the stadiums available in the West are a bit too dramatic one way or the other. So it is good place for all the odd ball cities and team names.
