Original rules as set by Boddicker. whose idea was the origin of this league.

We will have an initial draft of players from 1903-1909....you take a player and you own him for his entire career.You can keep any and all of your roster to play Season 2, if they are still active, which will be seasons 1910-1916. We will draft all the new players after Season 1.....so you keep who you want, and fill out your roster with players active from 1910-1916 during a pre-season 2 draft....and so on and so on. So as an example, say you draft TY COBB....maybe you use his 1907 season for SEASON 1....you keep him for SEASON 2 and use his 1911 season....you keep him for SEASON 3 and use his 1917 campaign...SEASON 4 comes around and you use his 1924 year....his last season is 1928 so he retires for SEASON 5, opening a roster spot on your squad.Unlimited keepers and cuts, manage your team as you see fit.......We will have these leagues to play, one at a time:
SEASON 1- 1903-1909
SEASON 2- 1910-1916
SEASON 3- 1917-1923
SEASON 4- 1924-1930
SEASON 5- 1931-1937
SEASON 6- 1938-1944
SEASON 7- 1945-1951
SEASON 8- 1952-1958
SEASON 9- 1959-1965
SEASON 10- 1966-1972
SEASON 11-1973-1979
SEASON 12- 1980-1986
SEASON 13- 1987-1993
SEASON 14- 1994-2000
SEASON 15- 2001-2007
SEASON 16- 2008- 2014
SEASON 17- 2015-2021

OTHER RULES- 16 TEAMS/OWNERS, NO WW, YES AAA- average to help with fatigue, especially first couple seasons, 120 CAP, TRADES ARE OK. NO CLONES.NO DH UNTIL SEASON 11..... ONCE WE HAVE 16 OWNERS, WE WILL HAVE A RANDOM DRAFT FOR ACTIVE BALLPARKS. YOUR BALLPARK MUST BE ACTIVE DURING THE TIME FRAME PLAYED(to have 16 different unique stadiums, inaugural stadium draft will encompass seasons 1 and 2 ballparks available)....FUTURE CHANGES OF BALLPARKS WILL BE DURING PLAYER DRAFT-FIRST COME-FIRST SERVED(you would draft a ballpark instead of a player). INITIAL DRAFT IS SERPENTINE (1-16; 16-1), ALL OTHER DRAFTS ARE NORMAL, WORST TO FIRST BY RECORD( 50 WIN MINIMUM BY GAME 150 TO AVOID A TOTAL TANK JOB)....some interesting strategies will be in play every off-season draft, you can bet on that...and with only 16 clubs, as RL baseball expands, our team salaries will increase. Also, let's shoot for realistic team names, please( city and mascot)......

Additional rules covering available player rules, draft protocols etc. are available in the league private forum, as will be the available player list for 1924-1930 in early August.
