This blog will chronicle the history and current events surrounding Hardball Dynasty's Negro League. It will also be a platform for discussion of actual Negro League history, since our fantasy league is based on that real-life league.
HBD owner dontrellew founded this league under the following premise:
"What if the economic realities of the 40s were flip-flopped, and it was the Negro League franchises that survived and were integrated by major leaguers? Would Bob Feller have been the first to make the jump? Would Ted Williams have bid Hub fans adieu many years sooner for the Florida Cubans and some year-round fishing? We can’t answer these questions, but we can still pretend that these teams survived and thrive in this league.
In this theme you will name your franchise after a historic Negro League franchise..."
Now finishing our 6th season, the league is going strong. If you're a member of this league and would like to post here, please send me a sitemail. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go to www.whatifsports.com and look under Hardball Dynasty... and prepare to be hooked on this great game. If you're just a baseball fan or an HBD fan, then welcome!
