$100M Bookend Franchise Twist-Season 17 (FULL) Topic

Season 1 of this league started out with bookend seasons that were 20 years apart, and we moved the bookends in by a year for the following 15 seasons. In season 17, we're flipping the script and starting to move the seasons out starting with 21 years. So, this season you’ll need to choose a franchise and 2 seasons of that franchise from years 1930 to the present that are exactly 21 years apart (e.g. 1940 & 1961 Giants, 1997 & 2018 Dodgers, etc.) Then build your best $100M team by twisting the players who appeared on the team’s active roster in either of your 2 chosen seasons per https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues. As long as a player was on your franchise’s active roster in one of your two chosen seasons, they can be twisted to any season of their careers, including seasons prior to 1930 and seasons when they played with a different franchise.

No DH, AAA, WW, clones, trades, or injuries. Your home field must be a home field used by your franchise in one of your chosen 2 seasons. Alignment will be random, unless any owners enter more than one team. Franchises and seasons aren't necessarily exclusive to one owner, so more than one owner may end up using the same seasons and franchise.

Spots in the league can't be saved via forum posts, so please join by entering your team in MLB143504. Thanks!
