1945 Prog Lg. (FULL) - great roster Topic

1945 MEPL Season - Boston Baseball Club

This is a 16-team prog. lg based on the actual set up of MLB in this era. Your franchise must use its actual stadium each season and we will look to expand in the 1961 season.  The draft is wrapping up and the team is already entered. I will transfer the team to you and you can basically play the '45 season for free. Obviously I am expecting your commitment for more than 1yr.  This team is a little thin in 1945, but has a great pitching staff in '46 and with the right deals, it could be a contender in '46.  Keep in mind the 1945 season is the last of WWII war years and this team has several good players over seas. 

This lg requires a commitment to play live games: 30 lives games must be played by the 120 gm marke to qualify for a top 4 pick, 50 live gms are required to qualify for the playoffs and you also must have a .300 win % at the 120 gm mark to qualify for a top 4 pick.

Listed the below is the '45 roster and what the team could look like in '46 with the return of the players fighting in WWII .  Please post if you're interested and sitemail me as well.  Thank you.
