Greetings all....

Hope this flies as it could be a lot of fun!

There are about 50 colleges that have had 45 or more players play in MLB.
https://www.baseball-reference.com/schools/

Choose your Alma Mater!!!

Pick your 25-man team from your school.
90M CAP
no trades, no DH, no AAA. no FA's.
You must name your team after your college along with it's nickname.

If you were a HS drop out, you can still play. Just choose a school!

I will allow ONE exception. You can use up to three schools close to each other that don't have over 75 total players.
EXAMPLES:
49 and 24 (73)
42 and 20 (62)
38 and 27 (65)
26 and 20 and 28 (74)
These TWO/THREE schools MUST come from the same state. . If there is NOT an eligible school to pair up with your first choice, then a school from any state that touches your #1 school's state will be OK. Just post in here so I can approve.

Your STADIUM MUST be the closest MLB Stadium to your school you use the most players from.

Twist all you want! 90M CAP

thanks

San Diego State University (51 players) and University of San Diego (22 players), 73 total players

OK, with ASU taken, I took on the challenge of creating a team for Cal-Berkeley, my 2nd favorite. I ran into a couple issues - primarily at C and 3B. Leveraging nearby Santa Clara, I used about 7 guys to create a somewhat competitive squad.

Let me know what you think commish - an East-Bay team of mostly Cal Golden Bears with a handful of Santa Clara Broncos. I'm good either way, it was a fun exercise if nothing else.

Sounds good to me.

click on this link, and then click on "players" column, and you get sort from high to low on the number of players from each school.

Only 3 of the Top 20 schools have been used so far. (out of 7)

I'm in with University of Southern California Trojans.

oldtimer59, among the 79 players from the University of California there were enough at-bats and innings to fill every position, and then you let the owner look through the 63 players from Santa Clara to improve his team? I question the fairness of this considering the rules you made.
