Here's the thing... I actually considered taking this team with one of my top 3 picks. But I really was trying to get one team in each league with my top 4 picks, but that's now impossible (as toysboys takes my top two league 4 teams - Doh!).
One of the hard decisions I had was deciding which of two very similar teams I wanted to use in League 2. I actually like this team slightly better than the '41-43 team because of better pitching and defense. Picking two teams one year apart is pretty risky, especially if I'm wrong. This pick will either make my look like a genius or an idiot.
League 2
