What are the best cities to relocate to in BM?
Charleston, Portland, Calgary (Or at least the AI team I added there did well), New Orleans, Charlotte, San Antonio... New York can hold another team as well.
Brooklyn is a good choice.
Charleston, Portland, and Calgary are surprising, although not as surprising in a game. I think Chicago could hold another team too.
Calgary! Woot
Staten Island!!!
Montreal, Portland, Vancouver BC, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Las Vegas...
Boston could have a second team...maybe... it once had a second team...
NY could also have a third team (possibly located in New Jersey).
I usually go with Portland, OR if I need a western team and Montreal or New Jersey if a need an eastern team.
Nah it would be too much fun :)Quote:

The CFL (Canadian Football League) had two teams with the same name before.
The Simpsons made fun of it in one episode.
The Roughriders versus the Roughriders!
So the Dodgers versus the Dodgers!!!
Mexico City sends your payroll budget sky high because of the huge population, but it's worse than Coors Field was at its (home run) peak.
The Staten Island Ferries...
I thought it was South Park that did it at the beginning of Season 2...the Simpsons though? Do you remember which episode?Quote:

San Jose is usually good when I play.

To be fair, I believe in the CFL it was the Roughriders (one word) versus the Rough Riders (two words). Though that isn't much better.Quote:

They were in separate leagues initially, but the CFL was formed when the western and eastern leagues merged.Quote:

I went for OF's with decent power and good range and arms (power esp for the corner OF's) and Big Boppers at 1st and 3rd. The range and arm factors made for a defensive advantage at home in the OF. The visiting teams OF's weren't getting to a lot of hits to the OF making for high extra base hits and even a few inside the parkers, and my hitters were still thumping out HRs (as were theirs, so its not so much fun if you are distressed more by high ERAs than you are pleased by high Wins. Your best pitcher will win a lot of games but never contend for a Cy Young). It was a fun experiment. I renamed them the "Brujos", witchdoctors or warlocks. It seemed appropriate.:D
Santa Fe is awesome

Same strategy I used in Mexico City
Very interesting.
I've just started a new dynasty, beginning in 1984 with the California Angels.
I'm going to take this slowly, but one of my plans was to build a new ballpark as soon as I can. I think I'll actively look into moving to Calgary or Mexico City in the early 1990's as an option.
In the 2006 BM game I moved the Mariners to Winnipeg. Boy did that deplete the cash quick. LOL
I wanted to start one and move the Marlins to Boston to bring a NL team there.. but it wouldn't let me because there was already a team too close.. :( stupid..
We did a study of this using Mogul 2009 in Outahere when we expanded to 32 teams in 2018. Montreal seemed to be the top choice, and Portland was our second choice mostly due to divisional constraints. (We moved the Marlins to the AL so we could expand one team in each league)
Coachella Valley is great. It's in the Los Angeles area
