10 Teams in Each Division ??? Imagine the pennant race... Are you willing to put it all on the line to battle 9 other teams in your division for 162 games and a trip to the World Series and automatic TOC berth ???
 

THE "FRANCHISE CITY FREE-AGENT" OPTION: Each owner may draft up to two players from the same franchise city as the team you selected. Only a season from that franchise city may be used.
