I am continuing the tradition of this league with jfranco's blessing. We will be using player seasons from 1900 through 2000 for this edition only. We will nominate players who are not in the HOF only. No players on your roster can have a salary under 500k. Salary Cap will be 110 million. NO WW, DH, AAA, or Clones.We will nominate 2 players for each position except for OF'er (we will nominate 3) -- then 4 SP's and 6 relievers + 1 SP/RP. 25th player can be anyone who was not nominated but cannot be a HOF'er either. Stadiums are of your choosing. Let's get the party started.


P.S. --- Please do not nominate any future HOF'ers like Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Ichiro etc. -- or guys who would have made it in except for alleged or proven PED use like Bonds, Clemens, McGwire -- etc. --- Please refrain from using these types of players or Pete Rose as your 25th player as well. --- thanks.

I've run this theme a few times. My only suggestion would be to go from 1900-1985 (or something like that). That will prevent sure-fire HOF players like Derek Jeter, David Ortiz, etc. from being eligible. Also, I would think about banning some of the PED players (Bonds, Clemens, McGwire, etc.) as well as Pete Rose.

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of nomination actions. Does every team roster each nominated player?

dc --- each owner will pick their favorite player -- no Jeter's etc. -- we will all use the same players except the 25th player.

Man... my real favorite player is ineligible (Ichiro). But I want to play. Let me go with Don Mattingly.

Hopefully this gains some traction...

In with Rod "Shooter" Beck

Autographed my glove back in 1989 when he played for the San Jose Giants. Made a hell of an impression on that 14 year old kid...

Sitemail me when this gets going please...

I will play. Torn on my 2 Heroes Graig Nettles and Dale Murphy. I will go with Nettles

I'll play. Let's bring OF Jacque Jones to the party.

I'm in and will go with a guy who was a teammate back in the day

SS Mike Bordick

I will play and bring Barry's dad Bobby Bonds along with me

I am going with one of my favorite players who played for the Philadelphia Athletics and the Philadelphia Phillies. Bobby Shantz.
