One of my most cherished games that I own is a baseball simulation program that allows you to do whatever you wish in the world of Baseball. The game, called OOTP '20, allows you to simulate a league from the perspective of a manager, a GM, or a God.

After a disappointing loss by the Cubs today, I loaded up the sim and got to work — but I realized I couldn't play my Cubs run through today since I didn't want to think about the Cubs anymore. I also realized that this was a part of the forum I could really get behind!

So I'm going to create a fictional league, and be the GM of one of the teams as I lead it to the championships. But I want to get the whole alliance involved! So, the league is going to have 16 teams:

Literally everything can have custom names. Each team, 1-16 needs a name. Additionally, the divisions, the sub leagues (National League and American League) and the league overall needs a name. I'll allow the alliance to contribute names for anything until Sunday, where I'll create the league and meet my team! 

So, here's the naming procedure. Write your suggestions like this:

Sub League 1&2 - Eastern and Western Leagues
OR
Division 1 - Wagon Division

OR

Team 1 - Chicago Meatpackers

Thanks!

Edit: Try to avoid real teams! I want to see some fun new team names, like the Mississippi Meth Gators!

Alright! Let's get this league started!

These are the teams, and the divisions. I've taken some liberties with the names, but they have the same feel as the suggestions that have been implemented. The ones in the normal league are all randomly generated, except for the New York Radiants (New York Black Knights was in fact randomly generated, so I thought this rivalry would be fun).

The more important settings. I decided not to do an inaugural draft, because I like having a randomly generated team. There's also 162 games, so through the season I'm going to do 9 updates of 18 games each to say the least.

This is real, this is me. I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now (leading the Chicago Mafiosos). I've kept myself out of the AL, instead choosing to lead one of the NL Midwest teams.

Here's the settings I've selected, so I'm moving onto phase 2 - asking for names!

Here are the available positions players. The first people to respond will get the starters, and so on. 

Catcher x2

1st Baseman

2nd Baseman x2

3rd Baseman x2

Short Stop

Outfield x5

And here are the available pitchers. All of these guys will get significant playing time, but the first people to respond will get the highest rated players and so on so forth.

Starting Pitcher x5

Relief Pitcher x6

Closer

 
RP - Molag Bal

Team Names as i said i couldn't decide on one 😅

San Diego Dinos

Daggerfall Lions

Bebbanburg Pagans
