Old and All The Way - 100 M (FULL) Topic

Eight current franchises have have roots that go all the way back to the earliest days of organized baseball, and the earliest year in the SIM database...

Atlanta Braves
Chicago Cubs
Cincinnati Reds
Los Angeles Dodgers
Philadelphia Phillies
Pittsburgh Pirates
St. Louis Cardinals
San Francisco Giants

In this league there will be 2 iterations of each team (first come first served)
Owners will select a franchise and only select players who played for that franchise, in a season where they played for that franchise.
[edited for clarity's sake] Teams will draft one player from each decade (1880's to 2020's).
So, basically, there's 15 decades that need filling.
These players must have a salary of 1M or more.
That leaves 10 remaining guys to draft.
They can come from any decade, but you can field no more than two players per decade.
This second player can have any salary.

Cap: 100M
Standard 16 team WIS format [edit]
Random alignment... but each iteration of a team will be in a separate league.

DH: No
AAA: No
Waivers: No
Trades: No
Clones: No
Twisting: No
Injuries: Yes
Partial Seasons: Yes
Ballparks: Use a ballpark from your franchise history.

WIS Franchise histories can be accessed here.

I will enter a team after the 14th team has been picked.

I will take a Cardinals team, in memory of my dad, a lifelong Cards fan.

How will alignment work? Will teams be in the same divisions as their franchise-mates, or will those be distributed?

The math makes for an uneven distribution, so I was just going to go full on random

I would like the Cardinals also as my dad also was a huge Cardinal fan. He actually got invited to a Cardinals tryout camp as a pitcher, he was very good, but he did not get offered a contract. Here's to you dad!!

Two Dad picks. I might go the same route if the team my Dad's favourite pitcher played for is still around when I pick.
