KUNGUPANDA WROTE:
What I want to know.
Is our/my storyline going to happen now?
Do you need help with story lines for more players?

DUSTY RESPONDS:
I'm not going to do the storyline. It's too absurd to think that you--as a 12 year old--would impregnate a girl, be cheated on with her by a friend, completely abandon the child AND her, all of this after--or during?--getting a double degree in engineering and law, then make a pro baseball team, have your friend come back, fight him with knives....I think you should keep going on RPG#9, and create stories there. I mostly just want to play power pros.

Hey I'm not wanting to be a jerk here.
Just feeling like we have creative differences.

Ok. Since I can't put a team in Monterey, I'm going to put the Monterey team elsewhere.
in San Antonio, New Orleans, not sure.
Suggestions for second team now have no limits.

I'm going to suggest the Las Vegas Blackjacks

And the New Orleans Po'Boys

I want BaseballTeen to have a suggestion, then we can vote on it.

Post some uniforms too.

New Orleans Po'Boys-I don't want to any team to feel bad for being a sandwich.
so I would suggest the Gators.
Also, if I have two votes I'd b vote for Blackjacks and Gamblers.

When last we left our heroes, they had become an MLB franchise.
Now, Alonzo Brown holds a closed door meeting to address his team about the changes that are afoot.


"Men", boomed Alonzo Brown, "there comes a time in everyone's life for change.
I've seen good teams come and go.
I've won some minor league titles.
But this team in front of me is different.
And I have a friend who agrees with me.
You've probably heard the news by now, that MLBhas two new teams.
Well, one of them is us."
Players exchanged glances.
Alonzo continued:
"Starting today, we are the Las Vegas Blackjacks of the National League,
We've got some sample jerseys that we'd like your input on."

post any proposed jerseys and we shall vote on it.

So...I know this is going to become a season log. But MLBPP Season mode skips over spring training for its first season. So, we will RPG on thru to opening day.
Towards that end, we will travel back in time a bit, to
February 15th, the day that pitchers and catchers report


The playing field at Suburban Park was quite shabby. Beyond the fences, from left field all the way to center field, a huge net had been hung to protect the surrounding homes and parked cars from the baseballs that invariably flew out of the little bandbox that the Carquinez Pirates called home.

Alfonzo Brown stepped out onto the field, a styrofoam cup of coffee in hand.
He surveyed the partly cloudy sky above, and he tightened up his windbreaker to defend against the breeze. As was his custom on the first day of baseball each year, he took a walk around the bases. It was something he'd done back in his rookie year and continued each year out of superstitious habit.

On the firstbase line, he thought back to that rookie year, to the nervous kid who had so much information coming at him so quickly.
Rounding first base, he remembered scrambling around the bag on his first base hit, then turning back to stare wide eyed at Frank Thomas, the opposing first baseman, who slapped him on the shoulder and told him "nice poke, kid".
At second base, he was right back in the playoffs, hitting that double that to this day got him free beers every time he was in Cinncinnatti.
Third base strirred up the bittersweet memory of the triple that completed his first and only cycle, and the preceding slide into third that tore his ACL, and effectively ended his big league career.
Heading home, he saw the first of his players emerging from the dugout, and was brought back into the present day, and the great potential this club had.
Cristobal greeted him at home plate, knowing that Alfonzo did this every year. Cristobal was pleased to see a contented smile gracing the grizzled face of Alfonzo Brown, it boded well for the year ahead.
...
When El Duque and Estefania arrived, they were followed by a gaggle of media.
"What's all that about?", asked Alfonzo
"Hmm, do you want to tell him, Dad?" asked a weary Estefania, "I just want to play som catch and get back to baseball."
"Of course", said El Duque, and addressing Alfonzo, "something we never told you, or anyone, is that Estefania is not twelve years old. We were so used to making false birthdays in our family that it carried over to her. Estefania is 18, and I'm sorry you're among the last to know, but it's true."
"Well, she's still a part of this baseball family, for as long as she wants to be." said Alfonzo.
"Gracias, amigo." said El Duque.
"But why'd you lie about her age?"
"To keep the hands of the pigs in the world away from her. But now that they know she's an adult, I worry for her."
"I'll keep an eye on her, old friend", Alfonzo reassured El Duque.
"Gracias", he answered, looking after his only daughter, out among men whom he barely trusted.
...

February 22nd, 2016
A week after pitchers and catchers have reported, the Pirates have been hard at work.
The goal that Alonzo Brown had set forth on the second day of training was that every player on the team would need to improve their fielding for them to be competitive.
They were rising to the challenge.

...
Alonzo Brown was quite pleased with his team.
To a player, they had taken his challenge to do the not so exciting work of improving their defense.
Grounders that had previously been two steps out of reach were now being scooped up.
Throws were stronger and more accurate, decisions made more quickly.
Upon Brown's urging, they continued their efforts for the following week.
All players improve: ARM+2, FLD+2, ERES +2
...
The only player who was not improving was Alonzo himself.
Now 36 years old,he felt his skills dip from his last time on the field.
SPD -1, ARM -1, FLD -1, ERES -1
Alonzo was wondering how many games he'd realistically be able to play this season, when he saw a familiar scene unfold.
At the adjacent ball field, a young man was being cut from another team, and Alonzo could tell by his body language that the news was expected, but that he had not lost any confidence from the news.
Impressive, Alonzo thought.
As the young man was walking past Brown, equipment bag over his shoulder, Alonzo noticed a catchers mitt amongst his gear.
"I like your style, kid", said Alonzo, "you're a catcher, huh?"
"Well", the kid replied "I am, although if I don't have a team then I guess I'll be going back to my dad's construction business."
"Well, it just so happens that my club may need another catcher" said Alonzo "what's your name, kid?"
"Tucker Towns"
"If you're willing to put the construction business on pause, be at the ballpark at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Yes sir!" said Towns
...
Tucker Towns, 18, C
Trj 2, CON 6, PWR 80, SPD 7, ARM 8, FLD 8, ERES 8
Top SPD 80, CTL 100, STAM 20

As the players came in for the morning warmups, they noticed a large media contingency gathering in Alonzo Brown's office.
And when they got to their lockers, they were surprised to see new red and black uniforms instead of the gold and black they had worn the day before.

...
After he'd spoke to the media, Alonzo excused himself and went in to address his team.
"What's all this, skip?" asked a confused Cassius Patterson.
"Sorry to do this to you guys," Alonzo began, "But change has to come to everybody's life. That's how we move forward, and how we grow as people. "
He continued in a very serious tone,
"What I'm trying to say is that I'm not going to be the manager of the Carquinez Pirates anymore."
You could have heard a pin drop.
"What the *bleep* bro!?", Boomed Cristobal, "You better be *bleeping* joking me."
At that, Alonzo couldn't hold it in, and he broke out laughing.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, big guy", he said,
"I wasn't telling you the whole truth. None of us are Carquinez Pirates anymore. We're joining the big leagues boys. I'm as stunned as you are. But just keep putting your work in. We've got a new goal now: to win the World Series. Now let's go out and take our first steps towards that goal."
...
and The Las Vegas Blackjacks were born.
Keep following the story in the Season Mode log
