We have an owner leaving our league due to personal reasons. Our TIGERS team is open. The draft for our next season begins on Sunday, AUGUST 23rd. There are no keepers list to post in this league, and drafts start and end on time and off-seasons run smoothly.

League details below, then team details next.

Past Present Future will soon start our 22nd season. We have one openings for one franchise - the Detroit Tigers.

In this league, you get to advance with a real life franchise year to year, while making them much more competitive each season - adding 10 players from various teams and eras. It's much simpler than it sounds and quite a fun mix of consistency and novelty!

16 team league - 4 teams per division. 2 round post-season between the four division leaders.
NO to DH, WW, trading. NO salary cap, NO I/R or keepers lists.
25 players, 5/4 AAA of up to 9 real life players (although you won't likely need them)
Use the stadium your franchise did in real life in our given year.

1) Start with your full 1991 roster - up to 24 players (Present)
2) Add 2 players - 1 hitter, 1 pitcher - from the 2019 version of your franchise. (Future)
3) Add 2 more players - 1 hitter, 1 pitcher - from the 2009 version of your franchise. (Future)
4) Draft 6 players in the league-wide six round draft.
--You draft 2 players - 1 hitter, 1 pitcher - from the distant past, in this year from 1924. (Past)

Draft order is from worst to first, based on real-life 1991 regular season records.

Every season, we advance by one year. Franchises and old-time players advance by one year. The 4 time traveling players from your franchise move forward one year too. (e.g. next year, you'll have your 1992 franchise, and the 2 players from 2010 and 2 from 2020.) And the 6-round draft will draw from all 1925 players, as well as unused franchise players from 1992)

This league was founded by fatguyrd, who passed away in 2024. We continue in his memory and because it's a great league, an interesting concept with a very short draft every year.

Your 1991 Tigers have strong seasons from Mickey Tettleton, Prince Fielder and his 44 HRs, Lou Whitaker, and Tony Phillips.
You can bring back players like Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander from the future.
And any holes can be filled through the 6 round draft, in which you draft two all-star players from the past and four free agents from the present as well. Detroit picks 11th in the draft each round.
