Mega League Baseball 2024 - Dallas Dodgers (59-56) @ Toronto Blue Jays (67-48)
What is Mega League Baseball (besides the obvious)? The origin of this concept alt-universe baseball league comes from an article written by Mike Petriello on MLB.com in late 2020 https://www.mlb.com/news/featured/the... While Pearl Harbor and WWI scuttled the move of the St. Louis Browns to LA, what would have happened if the move did happen just after WWII? Using Petriello's article as a starting point, here's an alternate timeline for MLB expansion and team moves: MLB Alternative Timeline 1947 - St. Louis Browns move to Los Angeles 1949 - Philadelphia Athletics move to San Francisco 1953 - Boston Braves move to Milwaukee 1956 - New York Giants move to Minnesota 1958 - Brooklyn Dodgers move to Dallas 1961 - Baltimore Orioles and Houston Colt 45’s join AL. 1962 - New York Mets and Los Angeles Angels join NL 1966 - Washington Senators move to Atlanta 1968 - Kansas City Royals and Seattle Pilots join AL 1969 - San Diego Padres and Montreal Expos join NL 1971 - Seattle Pilots move to Washington (Nationals) 1974 - San Diego moves to Oakland (Padres) 1976 - Milwaukee Braves rebrand as Milwaukee Brewers 1977 - Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners join AL. 1979 - Cleveland Indians rebrand back to the Cleveland Spiders 1993 - Florida Marlins and Colorado Rockies join NL 1998 - Arizona Diamondbacks join NL and Tampa Bay Devil Rays join AL 2004 - Oakland returns to San Diego (Padres).

I did have to make some tweaks to transfer player ratings info from The Show to Super Mega Baseball 4. Finally, I did my best to try to get the players in Mega League Baseball to look somewhat like their real-life counterparts, but didn't go crazy because I wanted to get this league off the ground (finally).

NHL '94 "Game of the Night" Blues @ Leafs "Eddie Stack Documentary"
Edward Steven Phillip Shack (February 11, 1937 – July 25, 2020), also known by his nicknames "the Entertainer" and "the Nose", was a Canadian professional ice hockey player of Ukrainian descent who played for six National Hockey League (NHL) teams from 1959 to 1975. He spent eight and a half seasons of his career with the Toronto Maple Leafs, with whom he won the Stanley Cup in 1962, 1963, 1964, and 1967. Early life Edward Steven Phillip Shack was born in Sudbury, Ontario, on February 11, 1937, the son of Ukrainian immigrants Lena and Bill Shack. He had an elder sister named Mary As a child, he struggled in school due to illnesses between first and third grade that hampered his attendance. Consequently, he stayed illiterate and eventually dropped out altogether. He began working as a salesman for a butcher shop, but left this job to try out with the Guelph Biltmores hockey club; during his time with them, he supported himself with jobs at a meat market and on a coal truck. Shack met his wife, Norma Givens, when she worked at the Eaton’s across from the Empress Hotel in Peterborough, Ont., where the team held its training camps. The couple married in 1962 and had two children. Shack played junior hockey for the Guelph Biltmores of the OHA for five seasons starting at the age of 15. He had his best season in 1956–57, when he led the league in assists and starred in the Memorial Cup playoffs. The New York Rangers signed Shack and assigned him to their AHL Providence Reds farm team for half a season. He made the NHL in the 1958–59 season and played two years for the Blueshirts. In 1960, he was to be traded with Bill Gadsby to the Detroit Red Wings for Red Kelly and Billy McNeill, but the transaction was cancelled when Kelly decided to retire rather than accept the trade. In November of the 1960–61 season, Shack was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he played seven seasons on the left wing as a colourful, third-line agitator who was popular with the fans despite a lack of scoring prowess. Canadian sports writer Stephen Cole likened Shack's playing to that of "a big puppy let loose in a wide field". During the 1965–66 season Shack broke out, scoring 26 goals on a line with Ron Ellis and Bob Pulford. His popularity was such that a novelty song called "Clear the Track, Here Comes Shack", written in his honour and performed by Douglas Rankine with The Secrets, reached No. 1 on the Canadian pop charts and charted for 9 weeks. Shack was a member of the Maple Leafs' last Stanley Cup-winning team in 1967, although his production fell significantly and he was traded in May 1967 to the Boston Bruins for Murray Oliver and cash. Playing on the right wing on a line with Derek Sanderson and Ed Westfall, Shack's performance rebounded and he scored 23 goals. n.
