First Ever WS Champion Roster 2-9-2008 Topic

This was an OL team that somehow went 98-64 in the regular season. Played in Great American Ballpark. The eight random OL AAA players rounded out the roster. The game had undergone significant changes even before that time, and has evolved more ever since. Interesting to look back at the rosters from my earliest days of playing SLB and seeing how the style has changed over the years, and what once won championships.

Maybe a silly question, but did you save all this externally? Or is there a way to see my old teams that I haven't figured out?

You should enter this roster in an OL now (maybe with some changes to account for salary differences) to see the difference

You should.

You're a Motley.

I've always saved the roster from my championship teams for both nostalgia and to see what kind of construction has worked for me in the past. I don't keep every team. There's no way I know of to see old teams on the site, but you can download a CSV file after each league ends. I'm not sure what's in those files and they're only available for the two weeks after a league ends.

Those 17 players cost $80,887,592 now, so some salary would need to be shed. Doesn't look like a winning formula in these days of SLB.

My first title was a Yankee team comprised of Yankee players from 1965-2005. It was some kind of theme league, the details of which are lost to history. The lineup appears to have been:
D. Jeter '05
B. Williams '00
R. Jackson '80
P. O'Neill '94
W. Randolph '80
D. Mattingly '94
G. Nettles '81
J. Posada '00

Reggie hit 46 HR and drove in 149. O'Neill was surprisingly mediocre (.284-21-94).

Tommy John '80 was 21-7 with a 2.65 ERA. The rest of the starters were mediocre (Alexander 76, Kline 71, Wells 02). Considering I didn't use Guidry 78 it must have been a moderate cap.

One of my first championships was with a team that won a 120 games in an open league. I don't have the exact roster details, but it consisted of six clones of Paul Molitor (playing everywhere except C & SS) and a bunch of pitchers that could hit like Wes Ferrell and Don Newcombe. WIS hadn't quite figured out to calculate the defensive values of players who mainly DH'd or yet added a pitcher's batting value into their salaries. Fun times.
