NEW Theme Name: 1951-2025 Alphabet, Franchise, Year Theme
I just turned 75 so, I ran a theme some 15 years ago and would like to try it again. It is not easy but it is a FUN CHALLENGE. MLB145343
Rules
1. You have to have EVERY PLAYERs last Name use one 1 letter of the alphabet a,b,c,d,e, etc all 25 different last names. Example Alou, Bell, Clark Jones Wells etc. (X probably will not be used)
2. 1951 to present, My birthdate. Must use 25 different years of the 75 available
3. 30 franchises available but you have to use 25 different franchises.
4. No clones no AAA no WWW no trades
5. Yes to DH $110M salary. Any ballpark used in 1951 to 2025.
Hoping for 24 teams. Hope you give this a try

I will give it a go

I will try.And I plan on having 10 players from 1975.

Could use a few more before I officially run this. It is a tough challenge but it is different than pretty much anything out there to try. It is not a cookie cutter theme

Is it 25 different seasons as well?

That would be interesting to us.

yes it is 25 different seasons It is like a giant jig saw puzzle 1951 to the present 75 years you use 25 different years

can you use multiple players from the same year? I built my team using 1 player per year and 25 different franchises... Just asking

i dont think that is allowed. Not sure

We’re in.

I'll play if we can get to 24 teams

I thought I had responded to this post, but I guess you have two.

I could be persuaded!

I can foresee how this build will go.
Down to pick 25,…..need a player from Oakland, Colorado, Toronto, Miami, or Tampa who makes less than $295,000 whose name starts with an X or a U who played in the 50s, 69s or 70s!
