Ruth, Williams, Johnson... if I could only go back and see 3... they would be it. If I could see 5 id add Cobb and Probably Jackie Robbinson

I think you are confusing Moonlight Graham with Blue Moon Odom

Old Hoss radbourn, he pitched I believe the final 60 after returning from a suspension for drunkenness. blue Moon guy is an entirely different person.

Yea, thats him. i knew Blue Moon was seperate, but I thought they were both Blue Moon's

Back on topic...

I've decided to go back to 1876, the first year of the National League. Since I'll only be doing the NL, it'll be just one MVP and one Cy Young per year.

You know that the Player's League existed for one year, correct?

Yes I do, but they still played, so you can do the awards for that one year.....

Are you also aware that there were a handful of other leagues as well, such as the American Association, which actually played for multiple years? The Player's League just seemed like a very odd choice to mention, given the other leagues in existence at the time. At any rate, I'm only doing the National League.

Yes, I am aware. Why do you always assume you know everything and we know nothing? I was just throwing it out there, you don't have to get so rude about it

Oh jeez, how was he rude about saying that? Let him do his own thing.

He always acts so pompous, and like he knows everything, and then rubs it in everyone's face

You just read it that way, but I don't think he meant it that way. I didn't see anything wrong with the way he said it.

Anyway HGM, going back farther than 1901 seems a little extreme and if you do, I agree that doing only the NL, would be ideal.
