This is going to be a wild and wacky season. Since it's 1901, my players will have sharpened spikes on their cleats. We will slide with cleats high. We will welcome collisions at the plate. My pitchers will throw at opposing hitters and argue with the ump when a pitch over the batter's head is called a ball. Everyone on my team will be a brawler, mauler, and baller. We will drink like fish, smoke like chimneys and spit tobacco like Josey Wales. My team's foul language would make General George Patton blush with embarrassment. We will make the worst goons in NHL history look like a bunch of pacifist vegans.
What we will not do, with the 13th pick in the draft, is win many games.

Much as I like Josey Wales (one of my very favorite movies) I am going to be a Connie Mack, upright and sober kind of manager/GM/Owner. We will fight hard, win but play fair.

Good men, but no goodie-goodies as Christy Mathewson's wife once put it though (defending him from the accusation).

Danaerys Targaryen, not Ned Stark.

Boston Beaneaters

Can't wait to see what bublooo and I are left with... at least I'll get a choice, albeit a very small one! The meek shall inherit... oh, whatever. I'm actually fascinated to know whether we'll be left with the dregs or not. Bring it on!

My $200K players will be the Hansen Brothers from Slapshot. I have not seen a ban on using g $200K players in bench clearing brawls.

Old time hockey...

I was reading an article on some past enforcers. I remember Steve Durbano briefly playing for the Blues. He had quite a life. Nickname was "Mental Case"...

There have been many feared fighters, but only 1 that never lost a fight. His name was Gordie Howe.

I'll go with the Chicago White Sox

St. Louis Cardinals

New York Giants

Philadelphia A's

The Giants had no fewer than 12 pitchers with between 2 and 19 innings - including Al Maul with 19 - who are not in the WIS database, which starts at a minimum of 25 IP. Of course they were all horrible so we are better off without them probably, but 12 players we won't see play in 1901.

Baltimore Orioles

Cleveland Blues
