I'm starting up a Retro Baseball League with the 1947 Season. We will use the PC Replay Baseball game. Link to the game website : http://www.replaybb.com/PCBBPages/PCBBProducts.htm I have one opening left. That is Ralph Kiner and his Pittsburgh Pirates. Hoping to find a knowledgeable baseball man or woman to take them over. Be the GM, draft for them and make trades. Hopefully buy the game eventually. You don't necessarily HAVE to buy the game at the start. My Excel Spreadsheets should be all you need to be a GM, draft and trade. Link to my post over on the Delphi Forum : https://forums.delphiforums.com/pcreplay/messages/?msg=6111.1 Hope to find someone here, or maybe you know of someone who would enjoy reliving the "Golden Era" of baseball. - Jeffrey

Sorry, moving this to other board. Just needed to scroll down a bit more to find the "Other" section. -Jeffrey

I'm sure he realized that. Who wouldn't. But in the end, he made a financial business decision. It's simply employment to all of them. Take emotion out and insert logic. This pretty much encompasses why I have become sick of pro sports. The salaries are outrageous for all of them. Players, managers, all of them. Especially in baseball where you have the huge salary disparity between large market and small market. Someday it has to all come crashing down.

Why? They obviously have money to burn. Let’s say something happens and the Cubs have to eat 3 years of his contract. Will that keep them from signing a FA or hiring their next manager at $8M again, or even $10M to get, let’s say, Bruce Bochy (no idea if he would be available, just using as example). No. Course not.

Seems pretty simple to me. Follow the money. Remove feelings from the equation. It’s just a job. Pure business decision. Nothing more. I would have done the same.

Really? But 100+ year old Wrigley Field, that actually had concrete falling off, where they had to put up nets so it didn't fall on the fans, is just fine now? Been awhile since I've been in Chicago. Are they still peeing in troughs down there? But AmFam field needs bathroom upgrades?
