OUR LEAGUE STARTED IN 1960. WE TRY TO KEEP THE CHARACTER BY PRESERVING 7 FRANCHISE PLAYERS (EXPLAINED BELOW)

We need 1 owner .

WE ARE ONLY 115 GAMES INTO 1963 SO THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME TO DO KEEPERS AND PLAN. DRAFT WOULD BE MID JANUARY.



SOME EXPLANATION OF HOW THE LEAGUE WORKS, THEN THE TEAMS ARE BELOW

Note- none of these are last place teams as I have 2 out of 4 last place teams myself.

Welcome to the 1960 Territorial League

Some short rules
Use your franchise ballpark in 1960's
Territorial and Legacy player seasons can only be used from your Franchise otherwise they are to be sent away. Territorials can be released anytime, but Legacy players must play their whole time (skipping IR) they played for your franchise.
No DH, WW, AAA or clones on a team. There could be clone Legacy players on different teams.


CAP 140M.

The rest of the rules from past commissioners - still going over them.

RULES FOR TERRITORIAL PROGRESSIVE

LEGACY PLAYER ``Any player who played for your franchise and retired at least one year prior to the one we are playing and has been retired for at least one year. Pick two when signing up. He stays your legacy player through good and bad. His seasons are played in order until he leaves the franchise (skipping years w/o stats so you always have an active legacy player; ex: Ted Williams would be 18 consecutive seasons, moving from 1942 to 1946 and from 1951-1953). Then you pick another. (Franchise names and seasons must match those in baseball reference, partial seasons must only be for your franchise not combined). If the Legacy was a Hitter and Pitcher he counts as 2 options. You can use his Legacy Hitting till the end and also pick him up as a Pitcher later. Can't be used at the same time, but you don't have to use both options either.

---

TERRITORIAL PLAYERS pick Two Hitters and 2 Pitchers along with your Wild Card player from your 1960 Roster when signing up.. They will stay with your team until they leave or are released by you in order to pick up a new WIS rookie. Just to be clear a Territorial must be put in the FA pool once they moved on from your team so you can't keep them past that time. YOU MAY NOT MOVE A PLAYER FROM PITCHER OR HITTER TO WILD CARD OR VICE VERSA) As we are playing WIS a players rookie season is their first WIS eligible season regardless of where or when they actually had their first appearance.

---

REST OF ROSTER; YEAR - 1 - 18 PLAYERS WILL BE DRAFTER IN A SNAKE STYLE DRAFT, POSITIONS DETERMINED BY combined value of 7 chosen players in year one and reverse order of standings in year 2 and beyond for those finishing 1-12 with a weighted random determination for the top four picks.

I'm the owner leaving the Yankee team, as I'm reducing my WIS footprint. They've won their division three straight years and are on track to do so a 4th time. You'll need to draft well to keep the dynasty going, but you have most of Ruth's career still ahead, and can replace him with Gehrig when he's gone. Chesbro is done soon and can be replaced by Russ Ford.

Where are the Red Sox and Yankees fans

Babe Ruth? Mantle? or Yaz, Cy Young, Ted Williams?
