             I just created the draft lottery and the Washington Senators will select Third followed bythe St Louis Browns at fourth.

Maybe this will help as an incentive for prospective owners, but some of the names in the upcoming draft include:

Honus Wagner, Jimmie Foxx, Lloyd Waner, Chick Stahl, Roger Bresnahan, and Jack Powell.

Both of these teams have high draft picks, so you'll still have the opportunity to draft a stud player.

           Looking for one owner....Here is your chance to own the Washington Senators coming off of a 80-82 season and finishing only six games out of first place, Frank Killen paced the pitching staff with 24 victories and Ken Williams ripped 17 Home runs. Along with a high draft pick making the playoffs is entirely possible under new ownership.

Washington's division was won with 86 games. Plus they have Garland Braxton. Plus they were run by the owner with the most BOBL wins all time. This team has drafted well every single season since we started.

   Both vacancies have been filled. If you wish to be added to a waiting list please send me a note.

      Their is a vacncy becoming available in our league this time the New York Yankees are the team to be filled. We are presently going through the 1898/1928 and half just passed the half way point. The Yankees are currently 41-42 and seven games off the pace. The key Yankee players are Klondike Douglass, Herman Long, Babe Ruth, Russ Wrightstone, John McGraw, Mickey Cochrane and some guy named Babe Ruth. Lee Meadows, Billy Rhines, Jack Taylor and Zeke Wilson form the current starting rotation while Alvin Crowder has picked up thirteen saves. So if you like Baseball history and would love to own Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Mickey Cocharane drop me a sitemail.

  Well looks like we need one more owner; one of our long standing owners is stepping aside for a break from WIS. We are approaching the completion of the 1897/1927 season and have began the draft. To keep the league running in the interim I will be Running the draft for the team in question. Following is the roster for the Philadelphia Athletics which is a bit of a work in progress but has the nucleus of a solid starting staff which I would say is their main selling point.
