As you're browsing the WIS classifieds today...please consider taking the available 1960 team in the All Time Progressive (ATP) League

...this team is not a "re-build" - it is ready to compete NOW....

one thing though...this is a post-draft team as the owner dropped out...the roster below is the roster a new owner would be playing with for the 1960 season

The ATP is about to begin its 75th season of play! ....if you enjoy baseball history...this is a good league for you

THE LEAGUE IS THE OLDEST SINGLE SEASON LEAGUE IN WIS THAT STARTED PLAY WITH THE 1885 SEASON - .This is a single season progressive league that plays two parallel leagues - the NL and AL - with both playing the current - in this case 1960- season. The leagues function separately except for the champion of each league playing in the World Series. There are 10 teams in each league which are formed from the players of the 16 real life teams. This allows for ample players for doing a single season at a time progressive league during this era.

Another way of understanding is that there will be a 1960 Warren Spahn in the NL and a 1960 Warren Spahn in the AL

Please note that with major league baseball expanding to 20 teams in the 1962 season that the 1962 draft in the ATP will be just one player pool instead of two. All "duplicate players" at that point will still be eligible to be keepers.

The league uses the 5-5-5-5 WIS format with 4 of the 20 teams making the playoffs

There is no AAA and no waiver wire. Trading is only allowed within each league.

Unlike some progressive leagues, the ATP uses a formula for determining the draft order for the first two rounds of the draft (2 times the current mid-season team salary) + (1 time the keepers salary) – the wins at game 162). In short, the league rewards winning by a team improving it’s draft slot. THERE IS NO REWARD FOR LOSING to gain a top draft pick. This formula serves to avoid the tanking issues many progressive leagues face.

The league offers strategy challenges in trying to build a lean and mean team....a delicate balance to achieve

If you are interested in taking ownership of the team, please post your claim and sitemail me. Also, feel free to send any questions you might have about the league.

Thanks for looking
