Theme stolen from CLWECW's Extreme Leagues theme....Anywhere But Here:

Pick a franchise, and use only players from 1961-2017 who appeared in at least one game for that franchise, per Baseball Reference, but you must twist to a season from a different franchise than the one chosen-i.e. if you pick the Red Sox you can't use any of Pedro Martinez's seasons in Boston, but all other teams he pitched for are OK

Must use a stadium your franchise used from 1961-2017

Players who only played for one franchise are, obviously, ineligible in this league

$100 million salary cap
No WW
No AAA
No DH
No Trades
No Clones
No Injuries

I'll pick my team after we get at least 10 owners in-hoping for 24 teams, but can play with less if only enough interest for a smaller league size

alignment as close to real life as possible

didn't specify this earlier, but each franchise exclusive, please (1/16/18)

If a player was a member of the franchise we select between 61-17, may we use a pre-61 season of his?

My fridge has a full complement of Sam Adams.....
So I shall give the Phillies a go......

Unfortunately, no

Appreciate the clarification. Working with some possibilities.

NY Mets

I'll take a whack at this and see if I can put something together with the Angels

Dodgers please

Yankees always load up on over-the-hill stars so I'll take the Yankees and play their has-beens back when they were good.

Somehow happy with Los Padres

Rules clarification. What's the rule about split seasons? If a player played for my team and another team the same year, can I use his other team's partial season? The full season attributed to the other team?

as long as the season you are using is not listed as the team chosen ( i.e. Yankees), you are good

I will take the Chicago White Sox

Awww, the Dads are taken? I’ll roll with my Stros then

I'll jump in with the Twins
