I went through the stats pages for every season from 1902 through 2013.  I took the four teams that when stacked in order by winning percentage with all of the other Major League teams that year, fell right smack dab in the middle of the standings.  This is a virtual "potpourri" of teams and players that don't often get used in our leagues together.  

In this round, you simply pick the four-team combination from a particular year that you want to use.  You must have a minimum of six players from each of the four teams you pick.  The 25th player can come from any of the four teams that you pick.  No players from any other team/year can be on your roster - only those four teams.  There's only one round of drafting in each of the four leagues in this Round Four of the tournament so we should be playing fairly quick.  Also, there are 28 selections to choose from in each league so even if you pick 24th, you still have five different choices to pick from.

There will be NO N.L. vs. A.L. split in this round.  Draft order for each league will be determined by the number of wins in the previous round.  Alignment will be as per the draft order (unless the same owner picks twice within a four pick space - then I'll simply move one of his choices down or up a division to separate them).


Here are some other items of interest:

NO: Waiver Wire, Trades or A.A.A.
NO: Designated Hitter.
NO: Clones
NO: Injuries – They’ll Be Turned Off.

You may use either full or partial players seasons in this round.

CAP –None – Build the best roster you can!

Stadium – You must use a park that one of your four teams called "Home" that particular year.

Sorry for the hold up out of the gate. Too little time and too many choices. I can't believe I'm leaving an incredible pitching year on the board but so be it. I'll take 1963.

I'm a little shocked too... and I had the first pick. The '64 pitching is phenomenal but the hitting is suspect. I went with '63 because the hitting is a lot better while the pitching is still very good (but nowhere near as good as '64). When I reasoned it out, it made sense to pass on '64 but I'm not going to pretend it was easy to do. If you win the division going away, I'm only going to feel worse about it too.

I actually thought 1969 was the best choice, so of course, that's the season that got taken right before my pick.

I'll take 1965

For those who are keeping track of these things, I'll weigh in with 1969 as my best choice.  My pick however will be 1967.
