We have just begun the draft of season 4, which will be 1888/1918. Below is the roster heading into the draft.

1888/1918 Cleveland Indians
19 Keepers – Need 6 Picks

Had best record in the league in seasons 1&2, and could certainly be competetive again next season.  Plenty of pop in the lineup with Speaker, Groh, Ewing, and Hendryx, plus a very solid starting rotation with Hudson, Titcomb, and Terry.

Immediate opening for one more owner.  We are just beginning season 4, which will be 1888/1918. Below is this season's roster.  I will have admin transfer the team to the new owner so that you pay nothing for this season, and can begin setting things up as you like for seasons to come.

This team is a project for someone who is up to the challenge. Team is loaded with pitching (Clarkson, Buffinton, etc.) which could be strategically traded to fit your needs. King Kelly and Baby Doll Jacobson will anchor the lineup for several years.

I will give them a try. Never had an old timers team.

Fantastic.  I'll have them transferred to you ASAP.

I had never been part of a league from this era, either, which is why I started the progressive.  It's been a LOT of fun so far.  Glad to have you aboard.

We have an opening for a new owner. We hit the 120-game mark yesterday for season 4 (1888/1918), and tomorrow we hold the lottery and begin drafting for season 5. Below is what the roster will look like going into the upcoming off-season. You can make cuts at your own discretion and can begin setting things up as you like for seasons to come.  An added bonus is that the team is currently in the 4th position for the weighted draft lottery... you could end up with the top overall pick in the draft!

We have 10 of 16 original owners coming back for season 5, and only need to replace the Brown's owner.  This team is a bit of a project for someone who is up to the challenge, but you'd be coming in at a good time to make changes. Team is heavy on pitching (Clarkson, Buffinton, etc.) which could be strategically traded to fit your needs. King Kelly and Baby Doll Jacobson will anchor the lineup for several years.  You can use this upcoming lottery pick to begin re-shaping them into your own mold.
