The rules are simple. You pick a team from history and play their roster exactly. No twists, No AAA, No. DH.

If your team does not have 25 players, fill you roster with 200k players from your franchise's history. If your team has more than 25 players in the data base, then pick the 25 you want. For split season players, you may use the full or partial season, whichever you prefer.

Salary cap is $120 million, just or the purposes of setting the league, but no team approached it in season one.

Play in the stadium your team played in.

Season one teams will be blacklisted for season two.

Returning owners will have first priority.

Last season was a 16-team league. We are fine with that, unless interest dictates that we expand to 24 teams.

I will take the 1910 Philadelphia A's

I'm back with the 1994 Expos. A team that deserved a better fate.

I will try to see whether lightening strikes twice in consecutive years.  1970 Orioles please.  Sorry I haven't been posting, but baseball season is at that point.

I'd like to come back, too....   1934 St. Louis Cardinals.  

Season one is in the playoffs. Step right up so we can get season two going soon.

I will join if a spot becomes available for a new member.

Go ahead and join. What team would you like?

does this go back to beginning of baseball, for instance, are the 1911 Cleveland Naps in play & teams like that?

Yes.  Back to the beginning.  We had an 1885 New York Giants team in the first season... Although they struggled mightily due to (among other things) a lack of pitching depth.  

I'll try again Terry. I'd like to use the 1896 Orioles, but they only have 20 players in the WIS database, and only 3 $200K players in franchise history. I can fill the other 2 spots with $200K players from other 1896 teams. Is that OK with you?

Count me in. Team to be named later.

After much deliberation, I will go with the 1954 Cleveland Indians.

1931 NYY.
