fuzzone Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Hey guys, i'd like to start getting a few negro league teams in the mix. I'm willing to create logos and roster met files as long as someone helps me out with the players. I dont know what i'll do about uniforms. I just want to make one team to see how it works out. If anyone's down to help, let me know. I was thinking of teams like The Saint Louis Stars or The New York Cubans? New York Blank Yankees? Balitomore Black Sox? Just to name a few. Hell I'll even do that team with james earl jones and those other guys who stole the red car in that movie from the 70's or 80's. dont know what it's called.

stecropper Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Atlanta Black Crackers Austin Black Senators Baltimore Black Sox Baltimore Elite Giants Birmingham Black Barons Brooklyn Royal Giants Chicago American Giants Cincinnati Tigers Cleveland Buckeyes Cleveland Cubs Cuban Stars - East Dayton Marcos Detroit Stars Homestead Grays Indianapolis ABCs Indianapolis Clowns Kansas City Monarchs Memphis Red Sox New York Black Yankees New York Cubans Newark Eagles Philadelphia Stars Pittsburgh Crawfords St. Louis Stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hory Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Are you concentrating on the early 1940s period? I'd suggest Homestead Grays, KC Monarchs and Pittsburgh Crawfords. As well as the NY Cubans because their home park the Polo Grounds is already in the game, same with the NY Black Yankees, although they were one of the worst teams in negro league baseball at the time. My favourite team name has to be "Baltimore Elite Giants" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzone Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 In all honesty, the team i'd like to make is Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings, i dont know if you remember that movie, but if if the uniforms for that were available, i'd definitely string together an met file and logos. i'm also interested in seeing some fantasy teams like MAJOR LEAGUE(charlie sheen) and maybe even The Natural's NY Knights. I know someone released the uniforms awhile ago. basically, i'd like to see some teams from baseball movies but i dont want to do it. I don't want to be the only one releasing a majority of team packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stecropper Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 fuzZ, I spent over an hour in Barnes & Nolbes today while in Houston, Astros still losing, looking for some Negro League books. NONE what so ever were available that I was able to uncover. The rosters and stats are going to be a difficult find. But I am still looking ................... when I get home I will load up my Old Time Baseball disk as I remember they had some Negro League teams available ....... I may also load up one of my old copies of HH and then download those Negro League roster on the HH site and see what they look like. I am kinda concerned at this point with the vagueness of this information ........... Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be the only one releasing a majority of team packages. I did a roster set like this for OOTP. Has fictional guys, friends of mine, movie/book/tv ballplayers. Fun stuff. Regrettably, I don't have the time to do this (and if I did I would be doing the all-time teams anyway). GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
