All Time MLB All Star Tournament

Monday, August 19, 2024

 Using the same simulation engine that I've used previously, I'm doing an MLB mini-tournament.

4 teams, an all time All Star squad for both leagues (Houston-AL, Milwaukee-NL, regardless of what league the teams were in during the year in question) and then a second team squad for both leagues.

AL1
AL2
NL1
NL2

Here's the format (all 7 game series).  

AL1 v. NL2 (AL home field, 2-3-2)
NL1 v. AL2 (NL home field 2-3-2)
Losers Bracket Series (home field determined by coin flip)
Winners Bracket Series (home field determined by coin flip)
Winner from Losers Bracket v Loser from Winners Bracket (loser from WB home field 2-3-2)
2 Remaining Teams for the Title (winners bracket winner home field 2-2-3)

25 Man Squads, No DH - selections included strong platoon considerations and so will lineup choices; I'm trying to get every position player a start, so I'll strongly lean platoon when making decisions, save for elimination games when, for example, Babe Ruth is in the lineup even if the pitcher is a lefty, that sort of thing.  Post 19th C player pool.
