Franchise League 1920-40/1941-61 $100M (full) Topic

$100 Million cap. No: DH, AAA, WW, Clones, Trades, Twists. This is a 16 team league with one 8 team league made up of franchises from 1920-1940, and the other 8 team league made up of franchises from 1941-1961. There is one instance of each franchise in each league. As an example there can be one Reds team for 1920-40 and another Reds team for 1941-61, but not 2 Reds teams for 1941-1961.

First come, first serve on signing up here for franchises. Must use a stadium used by your franchise during the time period you selected.

I’ll set up the league and send out the league number once there are 7 teams signed up.

You can have 2 teams, but one must be in each league. As much as possible I’ll align divisions based on NL/AL splits, otherwise it will be based on order of sign ups (i.e. if 5 NL franchises are picked for 1920-40 the first 4 that signed up will be in a division together and the 5th one will be with the 3 AL franchises).

Make sure you review Baseball reference for franchise history since there were a few city/name switches during the time frames involved: http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/
There are a few team name changes in addition to city changes that took place.

I’ll start off by taking the 1920-40 Giants.

This sounds like a lot of fun. Great idea GHSisler. The best teams seem to be taken, but I'll give it a go with the 1920-40 Pirates.

NL East is going to be a tough division. This was a fun draft. Cool concept Sisler!!!

Via sitemail, the Cards from 41-61 are now open again (the owner is opting out). That also moves the Phillies into the division with other NL teams.
