Forum: Transcontinental Baseball Association

The Transcontinental Baseball Association was the world's first fully professional baseball league. Founded in 1870 by the Union and Central Pacific companies along the newly completed transcontinental railroad, the league expanded nationwide in 1871, taking the National Association's top talent with it and establishing itself as the country's premiere baseball league.

  1. Sticky Thread Sticky: Trade thread

    Sacramento gets: 3B Charlie Rivenbark CF Anthony Bohlen Philadelphia gets: LF Bill Coffin SP Dick McBride It's time to get younger and improve our defense. I really like Rivenbark's glove, and his bat should be more than adequate. Bohlen is a solid fielder and good baserunner and might...

  2. Trade Block

    The Lords are looking to trade John Goodman. He's a very good pitcher that could start on most teams. We're simply trying to move him to make room for a younger guy. Since he's 37 we won't ask for much in return. A low level project prospect would do.

  6. Good players for trade

    Apparently we need to cut payroll. So we're hoping that one of the "rich" teams might want to add to their arsenal. Fred Olson - is rated the #5 SS in the game. He underperformed last season, so expect him to bounce back. Making $7000 and only 29 years old. Draft picks or cheap players we'll...

    20 year old starting pitcher Perry Werden, or Moose as his Twisters' fans affectionately call him, is quite possibly the most talented hurler in the entire TCBA. His fastball comes in at 92-94 mph (can't wait to prove this with a radar gun! When's that going to be invented, anyway?) and his stamina...
