R-O-L-A-I-D-S . . . . With Twist
The Rolaids Relief Man Award was an annual Major League Baseball award given from 1976 - 2012.
The WIS data base lists 74 "Reliever of the Year Awards," with 35 given to relievers whose team won 90 or more games during his award winning season.
I will throw all 35 teams into random.org. When you sign up, you get one of these teams - - exclusively yours.
The TWIST:
- All owners are allowed to twist up to 5 players.
- You do NOT have to twist any player or you can twist under your allowed limit of 5 - up to you.
- You CANNOT twist a player to one of the 35 teams listed/available (this could come up in the multiple award years by Rivera and possibly one or two others).
- You CANNOT twist your "Reliever of the Year."
