Relive the 80's, season 1980 Topic

For those of you who enjoyed baseball the way it was played in the 1980's and feel like going back to those wild and colorful days.
We will begin with 1980 and re-play all seasons until 1989.

RULES
- Pick your franchise, first come first served basis.
- You must use your franchise's actual players and ballpark.


- You can twist 3 players, with the preceding or following season under the condition that the player played for your franchise.
Ex. for the 1980 season, you can twist Nolan Ryan to his 1981 season but NOT his 1979 season since he played for another franchise.

- You are also allowed to draft a player's full season if he played for other teams that particular season. What you can't do is draft the partial season that he played for another franchise only.
Ex. for 1980, if you picked the Angels, you could draft Al Cowens' 584 PA full season or his 134 PA partial season but NOT his 452 PA partial season, because that was played for Detroit only.

- 1980's format, 6/6 NL divisions, 7/7 AL divisions, DH AL only.
