I will represent my home state and do a theme of Maryland-born ballplayers.

1 opening left, and then I'll keep a waitlist in case anyone backs out.

I'll grab the last spot. My theme is "Nicknames Only": each rostered player will be designated by a true nickname rather than his given first name in the SLB database (e.g., Toad Ramsey and Bubbles Hargrave; abbreviations such as Adrian "Addie" Joss are ineligible).

jballot is thinking of another theme since flakfizer is already using nicknames, so the last spot is open for now.

Has anyone ever done an all-Jewish team?

I'd take players from this list:

Just curious if anyone knows if this has been tried before. Thanks.

As far as I know, you're the first.

eschwartz67 played a Jewish players theme in Season V, using the stipulation that only Sandy Koufax could start a game (so he had some Koufax clones)

A Jewish players theme is also permanently one of the choices in CLWECW's 24 Extreme Themes leagues. It's #106.

I think I can make it work with only one Koufax. Which one is the question, though. I nearly have a roster set, but the final tweaks are quite challenging. Very few options for certain things, like backup MIF types. And despite my best intentions, I can't find a way to waste a spot just to have Moe Berg on the roster.

Thanks for the info!

Still just one spot left...

Sitemailing for last spot

All full. Additional sign-ups will be on the waitlist.
