This twist theme league is progressing through the seasons, we started in 1969. We use the top 24 teams each season, dropping the remaining in seasons with more than 24 MLB teams. Divisions are aligned by the winning percentage the teams actually had that season (tie breaker is alphabetical by city name). It's possible that the teams left out may actually be a better "twist" than those included, but as always it is the Luck Of The Draw, so you will play with whoever you get and like it. With this alignment even the rotten teams have a shot at the playoffs, and we all know that anything can happen in the playoffs.

Once we are full, I'll use the last 2 digits of each owners rating to give out the teams. The lowest number gets the team with the highest winning percentage. If there is a tie, I'll use the 3rd digit to break it, with the lowest getting the best team. Each year we'll get different teams using the same method.

This a standard twist league, which means you can use anyone who played for your team that season according to Baseball Reference.com Use any season of any eligible player as long as he made at least one appearance for your team that year.

The 1995 World Series winner will become Commish for the 1997 season, we generally get things started for the next season around the 120-140 game mark of the current season.

Likewise, the winner of this new 1996 season will be Commish for 1998.

im back

I'm back as well.

I am most definitely back.

I've gone to the waitlist. No reply from cretins, sitemail sent to gelfost.

Texas Rangers = Kiss of Death

I think this is the first time I have ever had the Marlins in any of these random leagues. Should be fun!

League number is MLB121827

dewelch71 had to back out. We now need one owner to take on an excellent Braves team.

No one has taken the Braves? Almost guaranteed a playoff spot!

I would take them as a second team but I have the Marlins. Someone will take them. Loaded as they are!

I'm actually somewhat surprised no one has taken them yet.

I will take them
