Many of you may have seen that long-time member fatguyrd recently passed away. This is an ad for a team he left behind. We had just approved the league for scheduling when he passed. I'll transfer the team to you for free with your word that you plan on sticking around for future seasons.

Jubilee Progressive

The Jubilee progressive is based on the concept that every 7 years, in times gone by, slaves were freed, debts forgiven and property restored. That final point is the concept the Jubilee Revisited Progressive League (JRPL) is based. League owners have the player rights to their chosen franchise returned to them every seven seasons. During the six seasons between, via rookie draft and trades, owners try to improve their franchise beyond what their MLB counterparts were able to field and best that MLB Won/Loss Percentage. That is a personally satisfying (or discouraging) unique challenge to the league. The other challenge is much more traditional....make the playoffs, win the World Series.

We're in 1988, the second year of the jubilee cycle and we're looking for a new owner for the NY Mets. The roster is listed below. Drafting is based upon real-life records, so tanking doesn't benefit anyone. If you're interested, I can send you all the specific details of the league.
