The Core 4 Progressive league is soon entering the 1935 season and we have franchises available for new owners.
When you think of Joe DiMaggio you think Yankees. Ted Williams - Boston. Ernie Banks - Chicago. Johnny Bench - Reds.
The concept behind the Core 4 league is blending history while testing your ability to build a team. Each season of play you can pick 4 players that played only for your team and add them to your roster without having to draft them. You can then keep up to 10 additional players from your roster to build the basis of your team. The rest of your team is filled out in the player draft.
16 team league. No salary cap. Yes to AAA. No DH. No waiver wire. Yes to trades.
