Spanish Harlem Pinata Beaters Re-up

Justin P is bringing back the Spanish Harlem Pinata Beaters - with a new logo and all...

Josh Gibson Contract

The actual contract Josh Gibson signed in 1932 - for a whopping $275.  One year I would live to try a salary league.

Anyway, read all about it at the Baseball Revisited blog here.

Fishbiscuits Return

Earlier today Brian B announced his franchise will remain in Otherton, retaining the Fishbiscuits name and logo.

Negro League Data Issue

All

The League Average Data for negro league batters and pitchers listed on the eligibility files was incorrect.  This impacts maybe 10% of us, but is a major impact to those 10%.

Please re-download the files if you have been using them, the data has been fixed.

Eligible Batters
Eligible Pitchers

For example - these fields on the batting and pitching files had incorrect data listed. They are the last three columns in each spreadsheet.

The 500 resims are fine and so is the real life data, just these 3 columns have changed.

Thanks Sean for noticing the mistake.

Last Two Drafts Now Linked

In the Owners Resource Box section.

For instance, you can now see that Ted Williams was picked 5th and 9th the last two years, making Joe's selection at 13 the steal of the draft so far.

Wildlings of the Wall Announce Franchise

Joe V has announced his franchise name - Wildlings of the Wall.   The prissy Ted Williams could not be reached for comment.

Elsewhere, Planet 10 has unveiled their new logo

Brighton Shadows, Niagara Frontier Blackbirds, and Planet 10 Red Lectroids

Today, the Brighton Shadows announced they would return for a second season and the Niagra Frontier Blackbirds were introduced.





The Planet 10 Red Lectroids are back as well, though they remain logo-less.

History of Picks 9 and 10

Ross Barnes 1876

Barnes or Dunlap? Does the Ex defense make up for less power?

 Lou Gehrig 1927

Looking to prove he's worth a top 10 pick after struggling in ATB 14

History of Picks 7 and 8

Honus Wagner 1908

That's a lot of red, and with Ex/74 defense to boot

Greg Maddux 1995

The new ATB era used in the 500 resims may have made Maddux even better

History of Picks 5 and 6

Mickey Mantle 1957

Remember when everyone liked 1956 for a while?

Willie Wells 1929

That is a lot of blank real estate for a #6 pick!
