1924 Integrated

In 2009 Strat put out a Negro League All Star set. For the first time stats of players that had long been hidden in the shadows of the past were brought to light.

These Negro League player "cards" are based on the players 5-7 best seasons of data that has been uncovered through thousands of hours of research by Scott Simkus.

In this frist project of Second Chance Baseball I will place 28 players from the Negro League set onto the rosters of the bottom eight teams from 1924 ranked by Pythagorean W-L record. (if you want to know more about that you can click here: http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/1924.shtml

These 28 players were at, or near, their prime in 1924 and will be added to the bottom eight teams via a draft function available in the game.
