BigPaPa Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I like the idea of a Negro League team, we might want to consider it as a replacement for the D'Rays - maybe. That's assuming we can't get enough players to fill up both Tampa and Arizona. Here's another thing to consider - the All-Star Teams. Let's keep them All-Star teams, but make them All-Time All-Star Teams. I can put together some polls and we can vote for our own All-Time All-Star teams and I can put those two rosters together using the results. ok sounds good ill try to get together a complete NL and AL all star team All time jersey and a complete Negro league team jersey but al star teams first im also going to work on some of the jerseys you mentioned on page 17.

jp_hidalgo Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I repeat, let's use those two spots like Legends and Heroes... to put the best players in Negro Leagues. Many people want to play with Devil Rays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Thanks, I went back and found his post. I'll send him a PM. I've got an excel file that I've been using to keep track of what cyberface is where as well as other files I've made use of or planned to use. It's gret to have because I can keep track of what slots are empty and which ones are taken. Would you like a copy, and if so where can I send it? no need to send it to me. i'd like to get the final spreadsheet when this is all said and done, but for now all i do is make the faces. i'll let you assign them to whatever slot you want to since changing the face numbers is a simple task. but i was just about to contact you about kraw, but looks like he beat me to the punch. i like where this all finally rolling. the all star teams, i like it. definitely do a vote, but you gotta make sure you know who is going to be in what league first. the heroes and legends team is a great idea too. so that puts us at a total of 3050 players in the game. you got 200 slots left for free agents. but i was also thinking...and this might save us a little time as it's a few less players to create...leave some spots open here and there. you don't need to fill all 25 spots on every minor league affiliate. the reason being is we should probably have free agents. secondly, there just may not be enough players to create for every affiliate. and thirdly, though not that important, it leaves a few spots for those of us at him to add whoever we like (probably ourselves ). well if we get rid of the d-rays, we should at least keep some of those guys in the FA pool. but there should be enough players out there to at least fill up on level of team for the d-backs.

Yeah that's what I'm shooting for. What I've tried to do so far is to have the following player levels: MLB: 25 AAA: 25 AA: 22 A: 22 That gives us 94 players for each franchise and it gives everyone the option of adding additional players to their franchise. Somewhere I've got a list of Hall Of Famers with the teams they were on. I was going to use that to make up my All-Time All-Star Ballots. well if we get rid of the d-rays, we should at least keep some of those guys in the FA pool. but there should be enough players out there to at least fill up on level of team for the d-backs. Yeah I agree. I'm going to go through all the teams I haven't done yet and start trading players around to see where we stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDaddyCool Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I think that jp might have a point. If it comes down to it how feasable would it be to turn the Heros and legends teams into All-Negro League teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPaPa Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 it would be easy assuming we can find good info on the negro leaguers they just wouldnt be playable in franchise or owner mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddyCool Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yeah, that's kind of why I wanted to put Negro League Stars on Major League rosters so that we could have a chance to see them play against Major Leaguers in franchise or owner mode. And you're right, it will take some research for these guys since I don't think they are in the Lahman Database. Speaking of databases I have one that I have been using to enter in stats for players. I'll upload that as well to whatever spot kraw can make for my files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPaPa Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 could you do me a big favor and PM a list of the Unis you want me too do i need to get organized and i just need a list then i cna start knocking then out so plz PM a list of the UNis you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 well i kinda agree with jp on the d-rays. i don't think wiping out a whole franchise for negro leagues is fair, not completely, because there will be people who are fans. at least two of them but in all fairness, how hard would it be to maintain them and also include the negro league players on these rosters too? including the d-rays. i just thought that we'd be able to fit more of them on the d-rays though since there's a lack of history in that organization. the uni's look great. though i think there may be too much script on the front. maybe put the all-time stuff on as a patch on the sleeves.

BigPaPa Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 well i know what we can do lets make a 25 man D-Ray Roster on the D-Rays and a @5 man Negro Roster on their AAA so if person wants they can make the D-Rays the negro League Team and we can include both sets of Unis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddyCool Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 BigPaPa I just sent you that PM. Let's see how many players I can trade onto those rosters first. We might be putting the horse before the cart and I might be able to put enough players on those rosters to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPaPa Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 im alsmoy done with the 1969 Senators Unis (71 was impossible to find good pics of but 69 wasnt and they didnt change hardly at all) im gonna be testing them tonight and ill post screen shots. So whenever your ready tell me where you want this uni to go in terms of what number it should be and waht team it should be affiliated with.

BigDaddyCool Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Well I want that affiliated with the Texas Rangers becaue that franchise moved from DC. They replaced the original Senators who moved to Minnesota and became the Twins. I want to hold off on putting unis in models.big right now. I want to get all of our cyberfaces in there first, make sure the file is stable and not corrupted, then we can start loading in unis. I think that might be the best way to play this, so go ahead and test them and hold onto them for a while. Update: I have polls up in the Classics section so we can vote on AL and NL starters. I've got the infield positions up and I'll put up the outfield positions tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 you won't need to put a models.big together. you just need a folder with all the files that will go into it. kraw's installer will do it. at least i think that's what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 okay, so i put together what i think should be the mariners rosters. it has a good mix of today's guys and prospects with those of the past. boy i do not envy your job in putting these rosters together. not one bit. anyhow, pretty self explanatory...let the debating begin. i'm sure someone will say something. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YIBIT72E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPaPa Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 These are the only images i could find that i know for sure are of the 1905 uniform. Anyone know if im right on my guesses I think this is the 1905 home uni as this is their World Champs Team Shot I think this is their away because if thats their home than this must be the away right? And this is the sleeve patch that im not sure if its on home away or both.... Anyone who has even the slightest knowledge would be a great help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPaPa Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 also i dont know about the 1901 oriales they only played one year under that name and uni and its almost impossible to find a picture ill keep looking but without some sort of pic i cant make a uni. PS did you know that John McGraw (1901 Os mng) tried to bring the first black ball player to the majors by claiming he was a Cherokee Indian by the name of Chief Tokohama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddyCool Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yeah, I've been listening to Ken Burns' "Baseball" while I've been working on this, and I just heard that fact on the DVD. In fact after he died Mcgraw's widow found a handwritten list of players that McGraw wished he could have signed but couldn't because they were black. Damned "Gentleman's Agreement". Oh, I found a site where you can pull up any uniform for any team from any year: http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/exhibits...es/database.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
