"The Universal Baseball Association, Inc." - Player Library

[DDBBAdmin 3]

"The Universal Baseball Association, Inc" library is now available for free for Digital Diamond Baseball.

One of our customers (Rickengeezer) has created a player library based on the fictional baseball world created by Robert Coover's in his 1968 book "The Universal Baseball Association, Inc.: J. Henry Waugh, Prop."  You can download the player library from our site at: http://digitaldiamondbaseball.com/libraries.php

Here is short description of the player library as provided by Rickengeezer:

Often hailed as one of the best baseball books of all time, it tells the story of J. Henry Waugh, an accountant who immerses himself in his fantasy baseball league every night after work. This library is patterned on the fateful 56th season of the UBA, but precise statistical information on the players in the league is largely absent in the book. Thus, rather than a true simulation of Coover's universe, this library is an approximation--but one that uses the names, positions, and descriptions of the ballplayers to guide the selection of statistics for ballplayers like Maggie Everts,the bowlegged old catcher, or star centerfielder Witness York, who led the league in slugging percentage.Virtually every player mentioned in Coover's volume is included in this league, although it should be noted that many of these players were "historical" figures in Henry's fantasy--nonetheless, all are included in this UBA season. In order to round out the full league, other players are also included, but an effort was made to maintain consistency with the naming conventions and player characteristics found in Henry's project. The eight UBA teams play an 84-game schedule, as they did for Henry. But, perhaps the fate of the players will be different in different hands.
