If you like spending a little time putting together your teams, this might be the league for you. I always look forward to researching my teams with each new draw.
Upon signing up, you will be given a list of 25 dates from
random.org. The list will look like this:

The above dates are just an example. Once your dates are posted, please visit
baseball-reference.com and select one player born on each of your 25 random birthdays. Each birthday must be represented, once apiece.
The cap is set at $150M this season and there are no restrictions on stadiums. No DH, clones, WW, AAA, or trades.
As we do each season, I ask that you please post your dates and players that you are using in the thread that I set up in the Theme Leagues Forum, for roster validation. Please copy and paste the dates I give you and type the players' first and last names beside them. If you are unwilling to do this, please don't sign up for the league.
*****PLEASE 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 two Pedro Martinezes, two Dutch Leonards, etc. Be sure that the one you draft was born on the date from your draw. This mistake is made every season, so please be sure to look carefully - the easiest way to confirm is by cross-checking the season/team of the player you drafted against the era and teams for which the player with that birthday was active, per BR.com.
There will be no do-overs. Do the best you can with what you've been dealt.
Roster proofing is a tedious and time consuming process, which means the league usually starts 3-4 weeks after birthday draws are posted. Please keep this in mind when signing up.
I will need a returning owner to get my random birthdays, please!
