I was on the State Championship team in Legion Baseball in Minnesota in 2001

the wa wa wa waterboy!

Actualy we had 5 pitchers go on to pitch in college. They also played the field SS, 3B, LF, RF, 1B. I started at what ever position the starting pitcher vacated and then pitched middle relife. I managed to come in with an ERA below 2.00 which was the 2nd lowest on the team due mostly to the fact that I wasnt facing the cream of the crop.

We won 22 of the final 25 that season and from the start of our season to the end of it we played more games than any MLB team did due to tournaments and double headers. Every weekend we went out of state to play teams. In one tournament we beat the State Champions from ND, SD, and WI. Some tournaments if we went out of town and lets say the schedule was set for a game Thursday a game friday 2 Sat and one Sunday our coach would line up other games outside of the tournament so we would play a toruny game in the morning then drive an hour and play someone else that night.

Those were some fun times.

Can I choose Knee's 2001 Legion team for the current challenge?

great, now no one can have them,,,i already chose em!  

we won the NJ Legion state title in 2008 - i coached the team -

kneeneighbor - 35 Cubs
nfet - 37 Yankees
soxyanks - 34 Cardinals
The Taint - 30 Senators
tropicana - 31 Athletics
acketyack - 39 Yankees
bastanredsox - 35 Pirates
toddleduc - 27 Yankees (bonus used)

Need picks by midnight tonight or I will randomly choose a 1930s team.

Wow trop, I almost went with the 31 A's too, then at last second switched because I knew someone else would have them. I think this was a good spot to use your bonus todd, and couldnt have gone with a batter team. I'm praying i dont have to face you. :)

I'm stunned I got them, Bastan...

There is one other team that I really liked still out there.

1 kneeneighbor (35 Cubs)/ toddleduc (27 Yankees)

2 nfet (37 Yankees)/ bastanredsox (35 Pirates)

3 soxyanks (34 Cardinals)/ tropicana (31 Athletics)

4 The Taint (30 Senators)/acketyack (39 Yankees)

I will go to random.org to determine matchups. First two numbers drawn will play each other, with either tribe member playing against either member of the other tribe. Simplest thing would be to play the first person from the other tribe you see online. Each Survivor will play a two-game series against the one opponent, one home and one away. Results will be based on the four games played between each pair of tribes, with the two winning tribes then playing each other to avoid going to Tribal Council. Different SP for each of your two games, regular RP rules apply, tiebreakers listed on the previous page, and the four Survivors knocked out in the first round each go to Tribal Council with one vote against them. Deadline to play games will be midnight Saturday, though earlier is always good.
