TML AMERICAN RETRO PROJECT BEGINS!
Pat Barry, Mike Landin and Jim Pertierra welcome you to our ambitious new 22-year project, which will take the current era TML American backwards through time, from 1978 to at least, 1912.
The TML 1978 season will begin in January 2010. There will be a "Rookie Draft" this fall to distribute any players whose seasons had ended in 1978 and thus, are not on any roster. The order of' the first "Rookie Draft" will be inverse order of the combined records from the original TML 1979 and TML 1980 seasons. This will be posted in the near future. From then on, we will use a two-year average of the just completed Retro season and the one prioe. We will play an advanced schedule, such that we will attempt to complete three Retro seasons in each year of real time.
The first 14 franchises filled became the "Original 14" TML franchises, with the next two making up the "Original 16" franchises. This is important because we will be contracting to 16 teams for the 1968 season and down to 14 teams for 1960. We will eliminate the "DH" in 1972.
The "Original 14" TML franchises are marked on the Retro League Directory (under "Contacts" on the TML Retro web page).
We will keep you informed by e-mail of the latest developments. Again, welcome to the TML American Retro Project!
