I looked at the RedSox, even drafted a team for comparison. a decent choice. almost as good as my choice, heheh. I didn't want Fenway and the extra stamina required for it.

I guess I was the only person who thought the Red Sox of that era was a decent choice.  I really wanted 1919 Ruth and I liked their pitching options (Young, Leonard, Wood). 
I actually went with the Red Sox 1st.  I completed a Red Sox team first and then built a Indians team.  It was a close call between the two, but I went with the Indians partly because of their cheaper scrubs.

I looked very closely at the Giants and A's (1905-1930ish)...some nice players but found them too costly for this cap level. I like the balance of the 05-29 cubs. I just hope by big 3 starters - '08 Brown, '05 Reulbach and '09 Overall - are as good as I think they'll be.

I had went built a Red Sox team as well first. Not sure why I didn't go with them honestly. I built my Giants team with the 09 Mathewson originally, but I didn't like the amount of innings I had, and the 08 Mathewson was too expensive.

70-80s A's are popular too - two at 69-93 and myself at 70-94. I've always had success with A's franchise teams so hopefully that continues. Good defense, good pitching, pitcher's park, and some cheap pop and walks.

I went with 51-75 Dodgers, and there's a few others in that range. Wanted to start with Snider and Koufax, just for fun, and there's plenty of talent in that era for the Dodgers.

Honestly after I realized it was plausible to use Addie Joss on every team I decided to make that a theme, but I'm a little surprised people went with the 02-26 Indians en masse; I thought access to Earl Averill was a bit more important than access to Bill Bernhard considering other options, and in general the pieces fit better with fewer forced early deadballers.

I got the bad Addie Joss.

Low K pitching staff often run into fatigue problems. The low K pitchers don't get as many sim pitches per real life inning pitched, and it can really start to hurt if you have too many Joss-types on the roster.
