My favorite. And on my 1st pass build I ended up with a team that had a $125,006,831 salary…

80M

Long Live the Long Ball

You must draft at least 200 home runs. All of your pitchers must have a HR/9 of 0.75 or higher.

DH: No

Seasons: All

Park: Must be at least +2 for HR to both LF and RF

Clones: No

300K exception: No

I feel like 200 is a little low for what the theme seems to be promoting. Would’ve loved to see the minimum set to/around 300.


themes look wonderful this year though! I am excited to start planning and building

Possibly.
As always, there was a last minute flurry of minor tweaks to salary caps and limits and we ended up at 200 at the end.
However, I argue that if someone wants to stick around the minimum with a league full of fly ball pitchers and short fences they might be missing out.
We’ll see.
