This popular league was founded by creed29. I've taken over at his request.
If you like spending a little time putting together your teams, this might be the league for you. I know I always enjoy researching my teams with each new draw.
Upon signing up, you will be given a list of 25 dates from
random.org. They will look like this:

The above dates are just an example. When I post your 25 dates, you then go to http://www.baseball-reference.com/friv/birthdays.shtml and select one player who was born on each of your 25 dates to make up your 25 man team.
The cap is set at $145M and there are no restrictions on stadiums. Yes to DH but no clones, WW, AAA, or trades. Live play will be next series only.
As we do each season, I ask that you post your dates and players you are using in the forum I set up in the Theme League Owners Forum. Please copy and paste the dates I give you and type the players' first and last names beside them. If you are not willing to do this, please don't sign up for the league.
Post your rosters here:

I ask that each owner please be aware that there can be more than one player with the same name, for example there are 2 Pedro Martinezes, 2 Dutch Leonards, etc. Be sure that the one you draft was born on the date that you have.
There will be no do-overs. Do the best you can with what you've been dealt.
I will ask a returning owner to get my random birthdays.

Any owner who drops out after receiving his dates will not be permitted to play the next season. Many owners play season after season no matter how good or bad their draw is. It's not fair to them if an owner drops out because he doesn't like the dates he receives. This ban is for one season only.
