The Team Icon League is entering the 1990 Season and is in need of two owners. The basic concept is that you can only have players on your roster that played for your team at some point. The two openings we have are the Tigers and Royals. Please let me know if you have any questions on specific rules. The rosters are below. You could choose to move Detroit to either Milwaukee, Minnesota or Toronto if you'd prefer or move Kansas City to Milwaukee, Minesota or Seattle. We have a process for moving teams in place already.

1990 Detroit Tigers (can move to Minnesota, Milwaukee or Toronto)
Draft 1st (but traded their 1st to Baltimore in 1988 to get Sheffield)
You will get a sandwich pick between the 1st and 2nd Round if you take this team.

I'll give this league my recommendation - been in it since the beginning. Some of the many reasons why you should join this league:

- You get to play with players from your favorite team with limited competition in draft
- An good exercise in long-term planning, since your player pool is limited
- Trading draft picks from season to season is much more varied as your available pool changes
- Great group of owners who make the league fun
- League's been running for a long time, showing stability
- It just feels right to play against teams that have players that REALLY played for them

If you have any questions about the league and want to talk to someone who isn't trying to get their free credit by filling the league, I'd be glad to help.

Royals have a ton of draft options and are one of the better AL teams right now.

We were all set to go and then one of our owners went AWOL. The Athletics are now available. They are the defending AL West Champions and are poised to return to the top. The Bash Brothers are in full swing on this team, they just need a little help with their pitching and they're set for years to come.

Interested in Oakland. Sitemail sent.

Oakland is taken. The Royals are still available and can move to Milwaukee, Minnesota or Seattle. They are one of the best teams in the AL.
