Unfortunately, that's an invalid pick; six seasons, not five.

The league rule on this is clear; ybjsports drops to the bottom of the round.
I copied and pasted, my bad. I edited the original before I saw your post. So be it.

OK - since the pick was corrected before any other pick was made, I'll let it slide. I don't want to be a dick here. Thanks for the prompt fix.

Guys, please, triple check your pick before you hit submit post.

Thanks for the ruling commish!

LISTEN - I cut and pasted 1885-1890, like a bonehead. I fixed it before any other picks and before I even knew it was spotted. Also, it could not possibly effect any other picks by the nature the team/timeframe in question. However, if anyone wants to protest then I am fine with taking my medicine and being placed at the end as per the original rules. No hard feelings either way. I know running leagues is enough work without having to babysit anyone.

I have no objections if the next pick wasn’t made yet. I’m sure we’d all appreciate the same courtesy in your situation.

I say take away his birthday!!!!

We're gonna go with the 1902-1906 Cleveland Blues/Naps.

I know this isn't a draft pick and I don't mean to clutter up the draft board but I just saw this pic on WIKIPEDIA and thought it was kinda cool...



Lou Gehrig, Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb and The Babe

The picture was taken in 1928 - the last year Cobb and Speaker played. Judging from the jackets, it must have been an early Spring game between the Yankees and the A's...

Great picture. Thanks for sharing. Could this be the only known photo of Ty Cobb smiling (sort of)?

That suits me fine, I've had enough of 'em!

by the way, nice pick, was almost sold on that exact pick

12 picks yesterday to 4 today. Hopefully we can get back on track tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay, got hung up with something around the house that took a lot longer than expected.

1976-80 Red Sox
