I'm in, if there's space

The great Orber only has one WIS-eligible season. Do I have to use that one?

No, you can use one of his other seasons with a 200k player, and teammates from that season.

gwhouse: There's still plenty of space. Move on in! Here are six pages:

1. * P Dale Alderson 1943-44
2. Indians @ Yankees, 8/21/2015
3. White Sox @ Browns, 7/2/1927
4. OF Tom Spencer 1978
5. C Matt Treanor 2004-12
6. Cubs @ Brewers, 8/20/2012

Your AAA replacement for Dale Alderson shall be 1993 Scott Lewis. Welcome and good luck!

Also, will someone please generate six more random pages for me? I always like to have a backup team prepared in case we lose an owner late in the process.

Red Sox @ Angels Box Score, August 12, 1974

1B Fred Whitfield 1962-70

2005 Chicago White Sox Trades and Transactions

Red Sox at Twins Box Score, August 31, 1974

P Mike Sullivan 1889-1899

Cardinals at Giants Box Score, September 20, 1910

Weird. Got two Red Sox games in the same month of the same year for you.

I was going to generate 6 for you, but missed that redcped already did it.

Feel free to generate another list for me. I'm addicted to this concept.

You want two teams? You got two teams. Here's your second batch:

1. 1964 Washington Senators roster
2. P Dick Drott 1957-63
3. P Ben Cantwell 1927-37
4. Yankees @ Orioles, 4/20/2008
5. Mets @ Padres, 9/5/1995
6. Twins @ Devil Rays, 4/23/2002

Wow, we only need two more owners.

I'll take a spot.

Team #2

1. 1964 Washington Senators roster
Don Lock, Ed Roebuck, Ken Retzer/Matt Merullo 1992, Howie Koplitz/Jack Lamabe 1965

2. P Dick Drott 1957-63
1957 Drott, Ernie Banks, Dale Long, Frank Ernaga/Vince Ventura 1945

3. P Ben Cantwell 1927-37
1933 Cantwell, Ed Brandt, Huck Betts, Wally Berger

4. Yankees @ Orioles, 4/20/2008
Brian Roberts, Chad Bradford, Hideki Matsui, Morgan Ensberg

5. Mets @ Padres, 9/5/1995
Don Florence/Ted Davidson 1968, Scott Livingstone, John Franco, Ken Caminiti

6. Twins @ Devil Rays, 4/23/2002
Brad Radke, Jason Tyner, Bobby Kielty, Toby Hall

Wild Card: 1898 Duke Farrell

I need 4 replacements:
Ken Retzer - LH catcher with terrible hitting and good+ arm
Howie Koplitz - generic homer-prone RHP
Don Florence - LHP, bad WHIP, great ERA and not homer prone
Frank Ernaga - RH outfield masher (.314/.455/.686 in RL)

I'll take a spot.

The next to last spot yields the following pages:

1. Mets @ Nationals, 7/4/2010
2. Giants @ Cubs, 7/7/1918
3. Astros @ Reds, 8/2/1992
4. Red Sox @ White Sox, 5/6/1971
5. 2001 NLDS Game 2, Braves @ Astros, 10/10/2001
6. Pirates @ Cubs, 8/5/1933

All box scores - I think you're the first! I hope a couple of the games were blowouts so you can pick up some cheap pitching and bench players ...

$82M is really hard to get to. This is going to be a battle.

Do you mean you can't get down to $82m, or up to it?

if it's the latter, that's a tough draw. Otherwise, not a problem; you just have to roster some average players, like nearly every other team in history!

Down. My first attempt landed at $89M with the 25th spot still unfilled. So clearly that ain't gonna work.

Zero chance I can afford the $11M Jimmie Foxx. Still clinging to the $10M Fernando, for now anyway.

Turned out the Gibson I missed out on wasn't so good a season anyway, nor is the Musial season I could roster.

I do hope to keep Moe Berg on the roster, though, because a good spy is hard to find.
