MLB101051 - Draft a player since 1900 who played 12+ years... Then draft a team of players who were teammates of that player at any point in his career (e.g. if your player is Paul Molitor, you can draft '93 Joe Carter since they were actual teammates that season, but not '87 Joe Carter because then they were not). $120MM cap. No DH. No waiver wire, no trades. AAA. Name your team incorporating your 12-year vet's name. Stadium must be one your player played in at home.

Info that doesn't fit in the theme summary:
(1) No clones
(2) No trades 
(3) Blacklisted focal point players are listed below. You can use any of these players on your team, but they can't be your 12-year veteran on which your team is based. (The blacklist is getting pretty full, so it's getting more-and-more challenging to find focal point players to use - have fun!!!). We stick meticulously to the blacklist, so double check your chosen player against the names below before entering the league.

CLAIM YOUR PLAYER IN THE FORUM! With a tighter pool of players to use, you must claim your player in the forum. If you enter a team that uses a player that someone has already claimed in the forum, your team will be put back into the draft center. NOTE: Claiming a player in the forum only entitles you to that player - it doesn't necessarily entitle you to a spot in the league - that's first-come, first-served. As the league gets close to filling, make sure you get your team in so you don't get shut out.
