Federal League Future Forward 1920 versus 2008
With a radical departure from my home life, I decided to resurrect an old reliable and inexpensive hobby: my Federal League, using Dice Baseball. I decided against following up on any of the prior years I had (1995-2008), simply because I had lost all the data for 2009-2016 (2016 was partial). The inaugural 1920 season would be my starting point. With the exception of the introduction of the Save statistic decades earlier, I played out the games with aggressive baserunning and stealing, more of a pre-disposition to reliance on starting pitching and mop-up long relievers, and expecting the statistical deadball era similar to the 1970's (the Federal League all-time home run record of 14 converted to roughly 45 in a 162-game season.) I believe my eldest daughter, who started her Freshman year of high school this September, was the size of a walnut when I closed shop of the partial 2016 season (I always did years ahead of time), so what impact would a 20's style season have on
