The 1954 ReWrite History Progressive League needs one new owner for 1954. The open team is the defending Chicago White Sox. They lost the 1951 World Series to the Giants and beat the Giants in 1952 so they are a strong team. Their roster is below. Basically this league is a standard league but the first four rounds of each rookie draft you are only able to draft players who played for your team at some point in their career. After the first four rounds, all players are eligible to be drafted by any team.
If a player only played for the defunct teams (currently CHC, MLN, PHA, WSH) they are eligible to be drafted by everyone. Any player who is only eligible for one team is assigned either a First or Second Round Draft grade and has to be drafted by that team in that round, or they open up to everyone the next round.
After the draft is over you are free to trade players to any team that you wish.
The White Sox won the AL in 1951 and 1952 and tied with the Indians in 1953 (they lost the tie breaker game to go to the World Series.)
If you are a fan of the two open AL franchises (Athletics/Senators) you can move to either of them if you'd like.
