We are nearing completion of season 2 of the Hall of Pretty Good League and are starting signups for season 3. The rules are pretty simple:

• All players must have a bWAR lower than 38.6 (per Baseball Reference)
• No MVPs or Cy Young award winners
• Can't be a Hall of Famer
• Cannot be in the top 15 all-time in saves
• Must be officially retired or do not have an official WIS season in three years
• 1930- present

$110 mil salary cap, no WWW, clones, trades or AAA. No DH. Designed to celebrate the players with great seasons/good careers. Modeled after the MLB Hall of Pretty Good Twitter/Instagram account.

'45 Tommy Holmes (MVP season 1)

I'll play again, thanks!

For the blacklisted players, is it only that specific season that is blacklisted or those players are completely blacklisted?

Had a lot fun in this league, will definitely come back
