The Dirty Dozen II: The Prohibition Years is looking for an owner to take over the New York Speakeasies (Polo Park V).

This will be the 6th season in this rapid turnover single season Progressive.

You can keep up to 20 players -- also you can play any of your computer generated AAA players.  Eventually we'll probably have a AAA player draft (if league members vote to do so).  As the player pool increases we may expand to 16 teams but probably not until at least the 30's.

There are two 6 team Leagues (NL and AL) with interleague play.  There is no DH, no WW.  AL and NL pennant winner play each other in World Series.

The New York Speakeasies are currently in 3rd Place in the NL - they lost in the 1924 World Series and have some nice pieces.  We are almost half way through the 1925 season.  The league has run the team this season due to an owner's droppingout (personal issues).  They will probably be drafting 5th or 6th, but may make the draft lottery (bottom four teams). 

We are a competitive league of new and veteran owners and we all play to win!

So come join the greatest decade in baseball -- the 1920's!

Please site mail any interest!

Cheers,

LJ

I would be interested but won't be back in town until the first week in August. When does the season end and approximately when will the play offs finish?

Speakeasies are taken but you're first on waiting list - there is an opening for next season...
