Hi, gents...

Mark here (ballmark), owner of the Cincy team in the HBL.

I only wanted to chime in to say that Admin Chris is working on a way to make league history after a merge available via the new tab system he's developed. So hopefully - though the history would be lost to the merged league, it would still be accessible for the former owners to look back on.

At least one day.

Well, hope is eternal, right?

We in the HBL look forward to competing with you in the Baines Killebrew (or Killebrew Baines) League!

Actually, it will be a bit better than that. I've posted details on the front page.

Chris

Those look like great improvements for merged leagues, especially for stats guys.

Also my two cents, I prefer Killebrew Baines League (KBL) to Baines Killebrew (BKL). Killebrew Baines sounds like a good old-time baseball slugger. Baines Killebrew sounds like a law firm.

There is also the option of picking a completely new name. There are a handful of classic names that were reserved for Dynasty leagues but never came into use.

I would prefer using a new name.

How about a recent HOF'er or contemporary player. Maybe a more recent player for league name would better attract owners.

I loved Harmon. I've met him, I cheered for him in the 70s. But half the players who play SD probably weren't alive when he retired.

Without crosschecking the league list...
Chipper Jones League
Jack Morris
Ken Griffey
Mike Trout
Clayton Kershaw
Aaron Judge...

If we keep the legacy names...Killebrew Baines sounds better.

regardless what the new name is...not a big deal to me.

We have yes votes from 8 of 10 owners who are active. HKL chaperone also has a team in HBL.

Haven't heard from HKL owners metsman456 or Hagman9.

I am in for the merger. Sorry for the late response. I was out for over a week without being able to check in.
