Title: Negro League Rom
Post by: nomaaa on 08/28/05, 06:44:14 PM
i am trying to create an r.b.i. rom consisting of ten of the best known negro league teams. the trouble i am having is finding the official rosters for the teams and deciding the abilities of the players (so generally, most of the work). if anyone can help, please do so.

You probably want to take a look at John Holway's website,

http://baseballguru.com/jholway/

and take a look at some of his books.  It's probably the best place to get started.

Won't the NAACP get mad if you make a game with all the Negro League roles being filled by fat white dudes?

Actually, if you're going to make an all-negro leagues rom, why not change the player skin tiles to some other, more appropriate color?

You're also going to have a lot of overlap depending on how you put those teams together - since the best players pretty routinely jumped teams and leagues, you could end up with Satchel Paige on 5 of the teams, Josh Gibson on 2 or 3, Oscar Charleston on 4 or so...

I prefer "fascist", if it's all the same to you, thank you very much.  "Oligarch" works, too.

I was thinking of making a Rom with all the great Presidents verse the worst President. Only problem i could not fill the roster for the great Presidents team and could not fit all the worst Presidents on one team.

We are the mediocre presidents
You won't find our faces on dollars or cents
There's Taylor, there's Tyler, there's Fillmore, and there's Hays
There's William Henry Harrison - "I died in thirty days!"
We are the adequate, forgettable, occasionally regrettable
Caretaker presidents of the U.S.A.

A buddy of mine is developing a pilot that involves animatronic versions of presidents being animated. Except that they act like a bunch of stupid teenagers most of the time instead of the presidents that they are supposed to be.

I predict that this show will not get picked up.

using nightwulf's editor, changing the color of the players is mere simplicity
