Make your favorite franchise better by stealing some free agents!
  1. When you sign up, select your franchise, choose two players to protect and three players to steal from the team selected prior to yours.
  2. When making your selection you cannot select the same franchise as the one prior to yours and you must declare your protected players and free agent steals immediately. In fairness to all, those 5 named players need to occur upon franchise announcement and CANNOT be changed once the next team has been announced.
  3. The first team in the league will select from the last team selected. The last team selected cannot be the same as the first team.
  4. Each owner will then build their team using only player seasons with their selected franchise, no twisting, and the three selected free agents from their franchise, no twisting. You must roster your 2 protected players and the 3 free agents you selected. You cannot roster the 3 free agents you lost.
Other particulars:
  • $105M cap, standard 24-team format
  • ONLY 1936-1963 Seasons Available (The DiMaggio, Musial, Williams Years)
  • NO: DH
  • NO: WW, AAA, Trades, Clones, Injuries
  • Live play limited to next series
  • Stadium = Any, does not have to be your team's home park.
  • Alignment = Order of sign-ups
  • Franchise = all iterations of a team as per Baseball-Reference
  • Limit 2 of each franchise
  • An owner can have two teams in the league but must wait until after 12 have been selected to pick another

I'll play. Better options than this, but the last time I decided to follow ybj's lead and use my favorite team, I went a long, long way in the TOC. I stole from ybj that time, too.

Detroit Tigers, protecting Newhouser and Kaline (b/c he is my brother's favorite player), stealing Friend, Face and Hallett.

I'm too young (barely) for Kaline. Tram was my guy - glad he's going into the Hall.
