This popular league was founded by creed29 then continued spectacularly by jballot. I have been asked to carry on his legacy.
For this season, I have lowered the cap to $130 mil this season to make player selection a bit more challenging.
If you like spending a little time putting together your teams, this might be the league for you. I know I always enjoy researching my teams with each new draw.
Upon signing up, you will be given a list of 25 dates from
random.org. They will look like this:

The above dates are just an example. When I post your 25 dates, you then go to http://www.baseball-reference.com/friv/birthdays.shtml and select one player who was born on each of your 25 dates to make up your 25 man team.
The cap is set at $130M and there are no restrictions on stadiums. Yes to DH but no clones, WW, AAA, or trades. Live play will be next series only.
As we do each season, I ask that you post your dates and players you are using in the forum I set up in the Theme League Owners Forum. Please copy and paste the dates I give you and type the players' first and last names beside them. If you are not willing to do this, please don't sign up for the league.
I ask each owner to please be aware that there can be more than one player with the same name, for example there are 2 Pedro Martinezes, 2 Dutch Leonards, etc. Be sure that the one you draft was born on the date that you have.
There will be no do-overs. Do the best you can with what you've been dealt.
I will ask a returning owner to get my random birthdays.
