League started with the '75 season. Sim user JPCCR built an awesome one year team,
racking up a team payroll of 100 million. Wins 107 regular season games and rolls
through the playoffs and wins the league's first world series.
'76 draft, who does he select
none other than the legendary
Gary Ross P
Ross has a salary in '76 of 5 million
In '77, Ross comes in at 600 k and is done.
Realizing Ross was not the answer to steamroll another playoff run,
user JPCCR trades his 1st rd pick in the next draft for Luis Tiant.
Tiant has a very nice '76 season, no bueno '77 and a couple decent
seasons in '78 and '79.
User JPCCR informs me he is not returning after the '76 season.
Ok, so I load his team for the '77 season to see what he's got.
Oh dear, what a mess. An 11 million dollar staff.
I sitemailed he owner JPCCR and asked him if he is really going
to leave this mess behind. I gave him one more opportunity to do
the right thing. He said I can't hold him hostage. LOL
Below is the wreck this owner JPCCR is leaving behind for someone
else to foot the bill, for several seasons ahead.
