As you're browsing the WIS classifieds today...please consider taking a 1946 team in the All Time Progressive (ATP) League

see the roster below..an abundance of players with so many returning from WW II....in many ways, major league baseball "rebooted" after World War II even if "reboot" wasn't a word then...

with the players returning and many who played only during WW II leaving major league baseball, many teams were in a major transition phase - taking this team gives you the opportunity to do some "what if sports" in experiencing this historical time in baseball as this "transition" includes the first black players becoming members of the National and American leagues

The ATP is about to begin its 62nd season of play! ....if you enjoy baseball history...this is a good league for you

THE LEAGUE IS THE OLDEST SINGLE SEASON LEAGUE IN WIS THAT STARTED PLAY WITH THE 1885 SEASON - .This is a single season progressive league that plays two parallel leagues - the NL and AL - with both playing the current - in this case 1946 - season. The leagues function separately except for the champion of each league playing in the World Series. There are 10 teams in each league which are formed from the players of the 16 real life teams. This allows for ample players for doing a single season at a time progressive league during this era.

Another way of understanding is that there will be a 1940 Mel Ott in the NL and a 1940 Mel Ott in the AL

The league uses the 5-5-5-5 WIS format with 4 of the 20 teams making the playoffs

There is no AAA and no waiver wire. Trading is only allowed within each league.

Unlike some progressive leagues, the ATP uses a formula for determining the draft order (2 times the current mid-season team salary) + (1 time the keepers salary) – the wins at game 162). In short, the league rewards winning by a team improving it’s draft slot. THERE IS NO REWARD FOR LOSING to gain a top draft pick. This formula serves to avoid the tanking issues many progressive leagues face.

The league offers strategy challenges in trying to build a lean and mean team....a delicate balance to achieve

There is no cap on the number of keepers (up to 25).

If you are interested in taking ownership of the team, please post your claim and sitemail me. Also, feel free to send any questions you might have about the league.

Thanks for looking
