League Specific Changes[edit]

  1. Dead Ball Leagues now enlarge their eligible season ranges to include players back to 1871
  2. The Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, and Ford Frick Leagues now use the Negro Leagues as the basis for their Auxiliary Rosters.

Notes[edit]

  1. All parks will play with their NEW regressed figures effective with the release
  2. A new park option has been added for all teams in case you don't like your park and want to move
  3. Version 7.0 requires a clean installation of the software

It took a LOT of coding behind the scenes to make these enhancements to our system. Enjoy!
