1948 Jackie Robinson League FILLED! Topic

EDIT: The Comiskey team needs a new owner. This league has been fun and competitive in its inaugural 1947 season. The 1947 regular season has ended and most of the keepers are in, so I would like to start the 1948 draft soon and finish it in time for the new season to start by Festivus (Dec. 23) so we can knock out some games before the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day obligations occur.

If someone takes this team today, we are ready to go!

I'll take the Cubs

You got 'em! I will immediately open access to the league board to you now. Let me know if you're keeping Moulder and/or Taylor. The rest are highly recommended that you keep.

Also you don't have to call them the Cubs but the old owner did as they play in Wrigley. Just have Chicago or some variation in the name.
