I started a writing project for the 2019 MLB Playoffs. Does anyone have a team in?

My writing project I would classify as a modern day historical fiction. It follows 10 children of various backgrounds who are fans of the 10 different playoff teams. What happens in their stories will depend on what actually happens in the baseball playoffs.

The writing is intended for young readers. If you know any children who are into baseball, please share the site with them. The site is baseballbuddies.club and I have also set up a twitter account for the site @buddiesbaseball

Hey, Leafer, that is pretty cool. I hope you get some hits.

I grew up in the Sierras of Northern California in gold country, Population in town was 1800 and I lived 5 miles east out of town. I grew up playing softball (grades 1 - 12) with teams combined of both boys and girls, and at age 12 I discovered MLB. Since it was N. Cal the boys liked the SF Giants. Enter me, the nerd a square peg that couldn't fit in a round hole, became an avid LA Dodgers fan. Although I abandoned going to games after a couple of seasons as a hockey fan (BB is to slow for me to be paitent to watch now), I still am loyal and follow them in the news. I have been waiting 31 years for them to win the World Series again.

Thanks!

I tried to invent characters in a variety of situations. My LA Dodger fan lives in Korea for instance. I also have a Washington National fan who lives in Pennsylvania, a St. Louis Cardinals fan who lives in Chicago (would have been real interesting if the Cubs made it) and a couple others.

It's been fun to do regardless, but I'm not sure if I will be able to keep up when there are several games played at the same time.
