Past Present Future is is in the second half of our 10th season and is getting ready for nest year. We have two openings for two excellent franchises - the BALTIMORE ORIOLES and the PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES.
In this league, you get to advance with a real life franchise year to year, while making them much more competitive each season - adding 10 players from various teams and eras. It's much simpler than it sounds and quite a fun mix of consistency and novelty!
16 team league - 4 teams per division. 2 round post-season between the four division leaders.
NO to DH, WW, trading. NO salary cap, NO I/R or keepers lists.
25 players, 5/4 AAA of up to 9 real life players (although you won't likely need them)
Use the stadium your franchise did in real life in our given year.
1) Start with your full 1980 roster - up to 24 players (Present)

Draft order is from worst to first, based on real-life 1980 regular season records.
Every season, we advance by one year. Franchises and old-time players advance by one year. The 4 time traveling players from your franchise move back one year. (e.g. next year, you'll have your 1981 franchise, and the 2 players from 2011 and 2 from 2001.) And the 6-round draft will draw from all 1914 players, as well as unused franchise players from 1981)
This league was founded by fatguyrd, who recently passed away. We continue in his memory and because it's a great league, an interesting concept with a very short draft every year.
