This All-Time CHD season is a league desgined in pre 1993 MLB Format with 2 six team NL Divisions and 2 7 team AL Divisions. It also has the pre 1993 ML schedule format, with the NL playing the 18/12 unbalenced schedule and the AL playing the 13/12 balanced schedule.  

The teams were put together during a long drawn our process that combined pouring through stats, asking baseball fans what they thought as well as diehard fans of certain teams their "all-time team." The toughest thing were the handful of players whom were nearly split down the middle between two or more clubs and made it very though whom to put them on. Frank Robinson, Nolan Ryan, and others were very difficult, while others were not quite as tough (Greg Maddux, Dale Murphy, Jose Canseco.) 

Also, a few clubs with short, and not so storied histories were very tough to fill out. San Diego, was by far the toughest to fill out a roster and that came out in my simulations, but it will be a great, great challenge if you could manage the all-time padres to an NL West Title.  

And lastly, the thing I enjoyed most was the stats. Seeing who leads all of baseball's all-time sluggers in homeruns in a single season, who steals the most bases, has the best era, etc., are very exciting. And every season I have done, someone has snuck it to a top 5 that you would not have thought i.e., Tim Salmon fiished 3rd in OBP in my last season sandwhiched between Babe Ruth and Rogers Horsnby....Tim Salmon, who knew??
