Place of Birth 2016 players (FULL) Topic

League will not start until 2016 players are released.

One of my all-time favorite themes centers around the country and states where players were born.

Select an exclusive country/state and complete your roster with players born there. All 25 players on your roster must have been born in your country or state. NO duplicate countries/states allowed.

Rules
  • $120 Million cap
  • NO: AAA, Clones, Injuries, Trades, WW
  • YES: DH
  • Standard 24 team league with normal playoff requirements.
  • Choose stadium located in your country/state. If one is not available, choose home stadium of any player on your roster or WIS stadium.
  • Divisions aligned geographically.

Welcome everyone!

Lewb, I tried to limit combining of states but wanted a competitive league across the board.

Rhode Island could almost field a team by themselves
9/18/2016 11:21 AM
Ok...if I must, but there will be disruption in the dugout being forced to play with your little brother...P.S. Connecticut, I think, has enough to be competitive....O'Rourke, Roger Connor, Pollock, Johnny Moore, Piersall, McAuliffe, Dropo, Mo Vaughn, Ausmus, Matt Harvey, Dibble, Shea, et al...

Lajoie, Duffy, & Hartnett make Rhode Island pretty attractive!

Don't think those countries could field a competitive team. Let me know what you find out and if you want to claim one of the country's listed, please post in the forum.
