Remember how fast we would use up a thread? Had to beg admin to increase the size of the threads...It was what, 30 pages?

I know The Mayor had some pretty serious health problems, Juicester.  He got back into it maybe a year or so ago with a few teams, but I haven't seen him on here since.  He and I used to chat every few days a few years ago.  The Taint used to have pretty solid contact with him.  The Mayor...what a character!

Then it evolved into Maddux and it got rediculous.

He'd scour a few 100IP guys to send out there for an inning or two, then bring in the hammer. This was I believe before normalization was in play...Back then, fatigue wasn't nearly as big a problem, you could use a guy like Clarkson just about every game without difficulty...

Long A predates me, barely.  I joined a month before the update that corrected the Long A strategy, so I waited until the update to enter my first full-season team.  I did enjoy - and feast on - the 1894 Pitcher strategy.  I won a couple OLs and even a Theme League at $80 mil with less than $12 mil spent on pitching - and I think Johngpf was the one who found that loophole.  Oh, those were the days ...

It was fun...My favorite moment was making it to a TOC final after being down 3-1 and 3-2 in a couple of series, then sending out '87 McDowell for Game 7, he took a no-no into extra innings, we won 1-0 in 11 or 12 innings...

Oh yeah, $12 mil on pitching with McDowell and Milacki in AAA all season and then starting every other game in the playoffs with a $70 million offense.

Oh, Doc - so sorry about the Blues ... NOT!

Although truth be told, I'm a Sharks man.  the Kings are my #2 team, though.
