    This is for the SMB4 Community! This is a collection of great MLB logos and Rosters from 2025 of all 30 MLB teams, made by various creators. I have compiled a lot in order to achieve the best possible result. I have also created one or two logos based on original templates from the internet or/and made some finishing touches to other logos. Overlay technique, so to speak. I also finished the previously missing 14 rosters with 2025 MLB players according to the specifications of Elder_III. It took me about 200 hours in total as I also created 90 Free Agents, including some of the best 2026 prospects. It was a huge effort from all who have worked on it so far. Therefore, I would like to expressly thank everyone. I decided to upload it because the community has been longing for it and I hope no one minds. It is not my intention to upset anyone but to make the community happy. Thank you for your understanding. I wish everyone a lot of fun with this league. A BIG THANK YOU goes to Rocket-man15 aka cbreezy15, Elder_III Patch-Arthur41 ViiperBoxer I hope I haven't forgotten to mention anyone.

    The main goal or purpose of this was I just wanted to add in some of the best Baseball players I've grown up with and I wanted to create my own ratings/abilities based on performance/analytics(stats) over a certain period of time to see how different eras of players stack up and so I started my journey... HUGE disclaimer - I did this for fun probably spent over 500+ hours offline researching, spreadsheeting, Googling and 200+ hour-ish adding/tinkering in game. I didn't think I would ever enjoy something like this as much as I did, but man did I get some immense enjoyment and dopamine spikes partaking, ha. That being said AGAIN this is all just for fun and I tried to rely just on the stats/numbers I've captured and biases aside; SO if you think someone is better than x or if you think this is wrong I understand completely. I'm just trying to share my experience because none of my friends wanna play with me, haha. What is different this time?? Re-pulled in over 26k rows of data from Fangraphs. Grouped players up by Era (criteria below) and then by Primary POS (Fielding/Arm) and then ranked then with a Precentrank formula based on specific stats (below). Every total was then weighted over Best, Peak 3, Peak 5, Career subsets of data for that Player + Era. What that gave me was a clearer picture of who rose to the top for a specific time period/era. I would say Speed and Junk are still the weakest stat of them all. Speed because we really don't have a great idea outside of Steals, BsR and Spd of how fast they were. BsR and Spd come from Fangraphs and it tried to come up with a value for how fast that player was it relation to base running, etc. Junk because it's just a weird stat how can you tell how good their off-speed pitches were? Velocity is a little easier because naturally the harder you throw statistically the more Ks and less Hs you will have. It's already overlapping Velocity and Accuracy and in terms of how well these matched good pitchers I was ok with it. Eras: <=1919 = Dead-ball <=1941 = Live-ball <=1960 = Integration <=1980 = Expansion <=2000 = Modern >=2001 = Statcast Skill Stats: Batters Power = ISO, HR Rate, SLG and XBH Contact = AVG, K%, BABIP, H/PA Speed = SB, CS, BsR. Spd Fielding = TZ/DRS, FLD, DEF Arm = TZ/DRS, A per POS, CS% (C Only) Pitchers Velocity = K/9, SO, H Junk = K/9, BABIP, FIP Accuracy = FIP, ERA, BB/9 That being said they were all rated and normalized on a scale of 1-99 so I could enter those in as Skill Stats within the game. This I would say is my best iteration yet; minus the PERKS! The perks were entirely built off making every single one of the batters/pitchers OP no matter what. If this isn't your cup of tea just ignore the perk assignment stuff. But if you do like that kind of stuff it was based on skill stat caps, archetypes and a little research on if the player was clutch, were they feared?, etc. Archetype Handling - I built some flags to help me bucket players together based on stats. Batters Elite Bat = >=180 Power + Contact OR Power/Contact >=90 Elite Power = >=90 Elite Contact = >=90 Offensive Athlete = >=240 Power + Contact + Speed Elite Defense = >=180 Fielding + Arm This created 10 Archetypes and helped me see if everything was coming together properly: Elite Bat, Offensive Athlete, Elite Defense = Complete Dominators Elite Bat, Elite Power, Elite Contact = Pure Bat Legends Elite Bat, Elite Power = Power Bat Titans Elite Bat, Elite Contact = Contact Bat Masters Elite Bat, Offensive Athlete = Offensive Force Offensive Athlete = Pressure Engine Offensive Athlete, Elite Defense = Dynamic Two-Way Elite Bat, Elite Defense = Two-Way Technician Elite Defense = Defensive Anchor Nothing = Role Player Pitchers Elite Pitch = >=180 Velocity + Junk OR Velocity/Junk >=90 Elite Velocity = >=90 Elite Junk = >=90 Elite Accuracy = >=90 Elite Arm = >=240 Velocity, Junk, Accuracy This created 8 Archetypes and 14 Base Identities (mainly for Pitch Arsenals) and helped me see if everything was coming together properly: Elite Pitch, Elite Arm, Elite Velocity, Elite Junk, Elite Accuracy = Era Aces Elite Pitch, Elite Arm, Elite Velocity, Elite Accuracy = Complete Aces Elite Pitch, Elite Velocity, Elite Arm = Velocity Titans Elite Pitch, Elite Velocity = Velocity Enforcers Elite Arm = Complete Craftsmen Elite Accuracy, Elite Arm = Control Savants Elite Accuracy = Precision Operators Nothing = Craft Veterans I won't go through all the Base Identities, but I wanted different pitching profiles for arsenals so the best thing was to do was to create a few different profiles for each Archetype and with that I was able to create 23 different Pitching Arsenals I assigned to all my pitchers. The best example of this is I wanted high velo arms to have more fastballs and high junk arms have more off-speed pitches. NOW this did produce pitches that a specific player did not even pitch, but the grumble I have with the game is sometimes you get a SP with 2/3 pitches and that is just not a fun experience imo. Every SP got 5 pitches base, RP got 4 and CP got 3 regardless of what they actually pitched with. That would add on so much more time that I really was just ok with assigning an overall identity to them based on their stats/archetypes. You can easily just not use any of that so there is that. The perk order I approached everything with, which can easily be changed based on what you consider a better perk. Batters Power: >=93 - Pow vs RHP, Fastball Hitter, Off-speed Hitter, Bad Ball Hitter >=88 - High/Low/Outside/Inside Pitch, Pow vs LHP >=82 - First Pitch Slayer >=78 - Big Hack Contact: >=93 - Con vs RHP, Fastball Hitter, Off-speed Hitter, Bad Ball Hitter >=88 - High/Low/Outside/Inside Pitch, Con vs LHP >=82 - Mind Gamer >=78 - Little Hack Speed: >=95 - Distractor >=90 - Base Rounder >=85 - Sprinter Defense (Fielding/Arm): >=90 - Cannon Arm >=80 - Dive Wizard >=70 - Magic Hands Utility was assigned based on Archetypes and if they played more than 1 POS. If they played more than 50ish games at a POS I added it as a Secondary POS Perks assigned by lore/theme/stats: Clutch Ace Exterminator RBI Hero Stealer Rally Starter Tough Out Pitchers Velocity: >=90 - Elite (4F, 2F, CF) Junk: >=90 - Elite (CB, SL, CH, SB, FK) Accuracy: >=90 - Composed >=80 - Gets Ahead Perks assigned by lore/theme/stats: Elite Pitch Types K Collector Rally Stopper Clutch Specialist / Reverse Splits Workhorse Durable / Consistent They're approximately 178 batters and 121 pitchers I pulled in and created in game. I might of missed someone here or there, but I tried to grab the best of every era. EDIT 1: I've updated everyone's Chemistry based on their Primary Perks as I wanted a better range of all 5 Chemistry personalities. Little quirks here and there: I wanted the announcer to say everyone's name in the game so I tried to pick from their list of names so someone like Barry Bonds = Barry Bond, etc. I created some extra teams to get a full 32, but every team is a State and mascot of used teams in SMB4. I tried to assign everyone a unique Stadium they're some that repeat as we only have 23 Stadiums; but same Divisions don't have a repeat. Most players have been matched for how they looked in their prime and I tried to match most batting styles/pitching styles, music and batting walk-ups etc are just random. All Players I've added are Age = 18 so they could be used in Franchise files and so I could quickly sort them out when creating them, etc. The Franchise file is meant to be Shuffled Drafted I don't think teams are anywhere close to being balanced! lol. If I was in a grove I would just keep adding in batters or pitchers only to some teams. Every MLB Player should have a Legend/Pro Career linked aka I had to go into existing teams find a Pro Career that kinda matched up year wise and duplicated their profile. It took a long time yes, I have OCD yes. Link to Reddit Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SuperMegaBaseball/comments/1r2awf6/comment/o4wjwar/

  24. Last week
  25. October 6, 1941: Dodgers submit quietly to Tiny Bonham and the Yankees Ernie "Tiny" Bonham, New York Yankees. At the start of Game Three, Brooklyn fans draped a large banner from the railing of the center-field bleachers that read, “We waited 21 years, don’t fail us now.” The sheet proclaimed its message proudly throughout Games Three and Four. But by late in Game Five, the banner was sagging and unreadable, an apt metaphor for the fate of the Dodgers, who wilted in submission to the relentless Yankees machine. Brooklyn and its fans seemed understandably deflated after a crushing defeat in Game Four, when a potential game-winning third strike got away from catcher Mickey Owen and opened the door to a four-run ninth-inning Yankees rally. The fans didn’t hold it against Owen. They gave a him a rousing ovation when he was introduced in Game Five. However, although attendance was a tick higher than it had been for the previous two games, the park was unusually subdued. New York’s stunning comeback had brought mortality into clear focus. The Dodgers went with their best to try to keep the Series alive. Veteran Whitlow Wyatt, the winning pitcher in Game Two, tied for the National League lead with 22 victories that summer. Meanwhile, Yankees manager Joe McCarthy turned to his fifth different starter of the Series, the ironically nicknamed Tiny Bonham, a hulking product of the Oakland, California, shipping docks who approached his assignment with the eagerness of a puppy: “When McCarthy told me I was going to pitch the fifth game I was so thrilled that tears came to my eyes. It was what I had always wanted to do.” New York threatened in the first, putting men at first and second for Joe DiMaggio, but on a 3-and-2 pitch, Wyatt struck out the American League MVP and Owen cut down Red Rolfe at third on the front end of an attempted double steal. Brooklyn mounted a challenge of its own in the bottom half, but after Pete Reiser’s two-out triple, NL home-run champ Dolph Camilli, suffering through a miserable Series, popped harmlessly to short. Charlie Keller began the Yankees’ second with a walk, and Bill Dickey followed with a single up the middle. Reiser had a good chance to catch Keller advancing to third, but his perfect one-hop throw from center skipped through the legs of third baseman Lew Riggs. Wyatt was backing up, which temporarily saved the day, but next came the irrepressible Joe Gordon, who was 6-for-11 in the Series so far with four RBIs. On his second pitch, Wyatt uncorked a wild one that sailed way over Owen’s head and allowed Keller to score the first run. Then Gordon singled to right, driving in Dickey and giving New York a 2-0 lead. The Dodgers showed a fluttering pulse in the bottom of the third. Wyatt, a dangerous hitter, led off with a double high off the left-field wall, advanced to third two batters later when Riggs singled off Bonham’s foot, and then came home on Reiser’s fly out. That perked up the crowd until the fifth, when Tommy Henrich took Wyatt deep, hammering his first pitch over the wall in right, just fair but well gone. “When last seen from the high press box,” Shirley Povich wrote in the Washington Post, “the ball was being pursued by a posse of boys down a street two blocks from the park.” Henrich’s blow put the Yankees up 3-1, and seemed to take the energy out of everyone on the Brooklyn side except for Wyatt. He brushed back the next hitter, DiMaggio, with a couple of fastballs before retiring him on a long fly to center. On his way back to the dugout, DiMaggio had a few words for the Dodgers right-hander. “I didn’t like how a couple of pitches came at my head,” DiMaggio admitted. “When I passed him, I said, ‘The Series is over, kid, so take it easy.’” When Wyatt, the former Sunday school teacher, offered a profane rejoinder, DiMaggio lost his characteristic cool and spun back toward the mound to have it out. Immediately the benches cleared to keep the two men away from each other. No punches were thrown and apparently no feelings were too badly bruised. When DiMaggio returned to his position in center field in the bottom of the fifth, the bleacherites booed lustily and one fan whipped an apple at him, but for Wyatt, it was all in the game. “It’s just one of those things that happens in the heat of battle,” he shrugged. “Joe is a great player and I like him.” The rest of the way was as easy as breathing for Bonham. “You know, it may sound [strange], but I wasn’t as nervous out there as I have been for some league games,” he said. Bonham was known for his forkball, but he claimed he threw it only twice, instead relying almost entirely on fastballs. He wasn’t overly deceptive, but he was extremely effective. He allowed just two baserunners from the fourth inning onward, retiring the side on four pitches in the sixth and three pitches in the seventh. Were it not a World Series game, it would have been a monstrously dull way to spend an afternoon. The Sporting News described the crowd as “still as a morgue.” The only real excitement in the late innings came when a fan in the upper deck in left field carelessly discarded a cigarette and caught a piece of red, white, and blue bunting on fire. With two outs in the ninth, pinch-hitter Jimmy Wasdell lifted a routine fly ball to DiMaggio, an anticlimactic end to a tightly fought World Series. New York took the game, 3-1, and the Series four games to one. The Yankees weren’t new to this. It was their fifth title in six years, but they celebrated as if they had never won before. Indeed, it had been a challenging season – they dropped 16 of their first 31 games and then saw their beloved erstwhile first baseman, Lou Gehrig, die in June. They had earned the right to cut loose. Coach Art Fletcher danced on a trunk in the clubhouse as the team sang its traditional victory song, “The Sidewalks of New York.” McCarthy was late coming in from the field, but when he arrived, his guys belted out another rendition just for him. DiMaggio pushed his way through the madness to hand the baseball to Bonham, who kissed it for the benefit of photographers before giving McCarthy a back ride around the room, with the rest of the team pummeling them every step of the way. As the New York Times described it, “Punches were flying, bodies were swaying, trunks were being banged around, benches were pushed out of place, towels flew through the air. And the noise was terrific.” Brooklyn manager Leo Durocher was ostensibly gracious, ducking into the Yankees’ celebration in his underwear to shake hands with McCarthy and give Bonham a congratulatory slap on the cheek. Back in his own clubhouse, though, he was somewhat less tactful. “[W]e made their pitching look good because we weren’t hitting,” he groused. “No pitcher like that Tiny Bonham today, who was throwing fastballs all afternoon because he does not own a curve, should make us look so bad.” He also sought out home-plate umpire Bill McGowan after the game to remind him of Brooklyn’s displeasure with the veteran arbiter’s strike zone. His players struck a similar tone. Camilli was bellyaching about Brooklyn’s bad luck. “If we’d just got half the breaks, not all of ‘em, the Series right now would be no worse than three games to two in our favor.” Teammate Dixie Walker called the champs “the luckiest club that ever stepped onto a ball field.” McCarthy heard some talk like this from the writers gathered in his clubhouse and was having none of it. “What the hell?” he exploded. “The Dodgers were lucky to win a game. Those Dodgers are a great team. You can’t take that away from them, but don’t expect me to sit here for hours praising them. I have a great bunch of ballplayers of my own.” The degree of the Yankees’ October dominance is nearly incomprehensible. Since 1927, they had appeared in 36 World Series games. They won 32. McCarthy surpassed the Athletics’ Connie Mack and became the first manager to win six World Series titles. Brooklyn was still waiting for its first. Its fans, though, were undeterred. A man named Mike Rinaldi spoke the mantra that would be repeated incessantly in the borough over the next decade and a half, when he told a reporter, “It’s in the bag for next year.” Tommy Henrich's home run in the fifth inning gave the Yankees a 3 - 1 lead.
