Equal Opportunity League
#116134
I was doing some yardwork yesterday when I stubbed my toe on a metal box. One corner of the box was barely sticking out of the ground so I unearthed the rest of it. It was manuscripts by my boy Al Einstein from back in the day! Explaining space-time continuum and the pre-cursor to the super-string theory.
Anyhow, I've figued out how to manipulate the six dimensions that comprise our existence. I roamed back to nineteen twenty one and kid-napped Babe Ruth, then traveled to nineteen thirty five. In nineteen thirty five I poisoned the fat old Babe Ruth. Then the vibrant, sixty homer hitting Ruth, stepped into the Boston Braves line-up and led them to the World Series title!
I'm willing to share my knowledge of time travel with twenty three other competent owners. This league will be an all-time franchise league where you can use any season of any player who played in at least one game for your team. You can use any season of that player
, regardless if the season you choose to use was with your franchise or not. All seasons of your franchise from eighteen eighty five to two thousand and ten
(you can use Jacoby Ellsbury for the Yankees since he signed there this off-season) are available.
Willie Mays stumbling in the outfield for the Mets will now be electric Willie Mays chasing down fly-balls for the Mets. Knock-knee'd and useless Brewer Hank Aaron, now becomes the greatest all around player in the history of the game representing the Brewers- Hank Aaron. You get the picture.
One other thing- through my complicated, space/time travel discovery, we can also venture into the future! All franchises whose existence isn't as storied as the old school teams with turn of the century studs (
Yanks, BoSox, Pirates, Cards, Tigers, etc.), get to travel forward in time and use the studs of tommorrow(
i.e. a six/four set ofbelow average pick 'em. est. value -$14mil extra ).
