I'll join this if you'll have me, but be warned that I get confused easily

Forewarned is forearmed. Here are six pages for you:

1. P Todd Williams 1995-2007
2. Athletics @ Rangers 7/31/2004
3. Reds @ Giants. 7/19/1949
4. OF Buck Congalton 1902-07
5. Oriole's @ Red Sox 5/25/1972
6. Braves @ Pirates 5/20/1912

a couple of deadball opportunities there ...

OK, here you go:

1. P Todd Williams 1995-2007
Williams 04 Orioles and teammates Javy Lopez, Bruce Chen and Rick Bauer

2. Athletics @ Rangers 7/31/2004
Hank Blalock, Erasmo Ramirez, Brian Shouse, and 200k Shawn Kelley subbing in for Jeff Nelson

3. Reds @ Giants. 7/19/1949
Harry Walker, Johnny Mize, Monte Irvin, Danny Litwhiler

4. OF Buck Congalton 1902-07
Bunk 06 Indians and teammates Otto Hess, Bob Rhoads and Bill Bernhard

5. Oriole's @ Red Sox 5/25/1972
Don Baylor, Ellie Hendricks, Duane Josephson, Roric Harrison

6. Braves @ Pirates 5/20/1912
Honus Wagner, Bill Sweeney, Chief Wilson, Tommy Leach

Wild card: Jean Machi 2014

Thank you for posting in a form that's easy to follow. Roster looks good but let me know if you change your mind. I will try to get my roster sorted tonight so we can get a league #.

Thanks! I will need you to assign me a mediocre AAA stand-in for Jeff Nelson 2004 who had 23.2 innings of a 1.52 WHIP. Can't live without that, after all.

reddtrain: Welcome! I'm sitting watching it snow in Montana, so plenty of time to whip up these six pages for you:

1. 1945 Boston Red Sox schedule - this page lists winning and losing pitchers and saves, so you may take any four pitchers listed, from both the Red Sox and their opponents
2. Browns @ Tigers 9/7/1940
3. * OF Carl Sumner 1928 - take a 200k player for Sumner and three of his teammates- use 1950 Roy Weatherly as his AAA replacement
4. Dodgers @ Cardinals 5/21/1968
5. Yankees @ Athletics 7/1/1942
6. C Ivan Rodriguez 1991-2011

That's gotta be the best draw so far. Three box scores, three teams that went to the WS.

1. 1945 Boston Red Sox schedule - this page lists winning and losing pitchers and saves, so you may take any four pitchers listed, from both the Red Sox and their opponents
Roger Wolff, Nels Potter, Joe Berry, Frank Papish

2. Browns @ Tigers 9/7/1940
Rudy York, Wally Judnich, Bruce Campbell, Billy Sullivan

3. * OF Carl Sumner 1928 - take a 200k player for Sumner and three of his teammates - use 1950 Roy Weatherly as his AAA replacement
Yamaico Navarro 2012/Roy Weatherly 1950, George Loepp, Buddy Myer, Ed Morris

4. Dodgers @ Cardinals 5/21/1968
Dal Maxvill, Dave Ricketts/Buster Burrell 1891, Dick Hughes, Hal Gilson

5. Yankees @ Athletics 7/1/1942
Joe Gordon, Charlie Keller, Eddie Kearse/Stuart Turner 2017, Marv Breuer

6. C Ivan Rodriguez 1991-2011
2008 Tigers, Ramon Santiago, Jason Grilli, Casey Fossum

Wild Card: 1995 John Cangelosi

So, I need two RH catcher replacements for Kearse and Ricketts. Ricketts' primary position is actually PH, so I'm guessing he should be at least a passable bat. I'd also like to request that one of the two be able to fake it at 3B (neither of them played 3B, but Bruce Campbell played the game in the box score (and 5 more) at 3B in 1940, but does not have any 3B rating).

OK, here's my abomination thus far:

1. Pirates @ Reds 4/15/1924
3B Pie Traynor, OF Walter Mueller, OF George Harper, P Lee Meadows

2. Royals @ White Sox, 5/11/2012
OF Brent Lillibridge, P Matt Thornton, P Felipe Paulino, P Kelvin Herrera

3. * P Mike Rochford 1988-90 (1990)
*P Shawn Kelley (for Rochford), C Tony Pena, OF Danny Heep, P Roger Clemens

4. P Ed Glynn 1975-85 (1977)
1B Jason Thompson, 2B Tito Fuentes, SS Chuck Scrivener, P Ed Glynn

5. Senators @ Tigers, 9/15/1926 1st game of doubleheader
OF Earl McNeely, OF Heinie Manush, P Walter Johnson, 2B Les Burke

6. 3B Jim Davenport 1958-70 (1966)
OF Willie Mays, SS Jim Davenport, P Gaylord Perry, P Bobby Bolin

SS Mark Bellhorn is my 25th

* Lefty Mike Rochford had three call-ups to the Red Sox, and didn't succeed at any of them: career ERA 9.58. His AAA replacement will be 1940 Herman Besse.

Here is my roster:
1. White Sox @ Yankees 7/14/1978
Ron Guidry, Goose Gossage, Rich Hinton, Cliff Johnson
2. Mariners @ Twins 4/14/1978
Leon Roberts, Julio Cruz, Jose Baez, Kevin Pasley
3. Tigers @ Yankees 6/18/1966
Al Kaline, Dick McAuliffe, Mickey Mantle, Gates Brown
4. Twins @ A's 7/6/1970
Diego Segui, Mudcat Grant, Harmon Killebrew, John Donaldson
5. P Don Collins 1977-80
I'm using the 1980 iteration of Don Collins in Cleveland. This will require an AAA LHP assignment. Len Barker, Mike Hargrove, Ron Hassey
6. * P Lou Bevil 1942
You already assigned me George Barnicle for Lou. Roy Cullenbine, Walt Masterson, Dutch Leonard
Wildcard = 1948 Sam Zoldak

If we started today, this would be my roster. If this league takes very long to fill, I might be tinkering. Please don't make me tinker!

These types of leagues seldom work well for me, so sign me up for the torture. I enjoy the mental gymnastics anyway.

This was one of my favorite leagues I participated in last year. So if there's still a slot available, please sign me up!

razorclams: Welcome back! Here are your six pages to build from:

1. Indians @ Black Sox 6/23/1919
2. 1933 Red Sox Uniform Numbers [any two players on their roster for that season]
3. Indians @ Athletics 8/24/1946
4. Year-by-Year Top Tens, Leaders and Records for Base-Out Wins Added (REW) - see below
5. Giants @ Braves, 4/20/1931 2nd game of doubleheader
6. Royals @ Rangers, 6/19/1991

About that weird page above: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/rew_bat_top_ten.shtml
You're allowed to take any four players shown on the page, which is a who's who of offensive leaders from each season back to 1925. So your team should have some great offensive stars! But those four guys are going to suck up a lot of payroll, too. I hope you drew some pitching to go with them !

1. Eddie Cicotte
Dickie Kerr,
E.Collins
Eddie Murphy

2. Johnny Gooch, Curt Fullerton, Joe Judge, Marv Shea

3. Bob Feller, Gene Desautels(C), Elmer Valo (OF), Hank Edwards (OF)

4. Jim Ray Hart (3B) 1965, Johnny Mize (OF) 1936, Ernie Lombardi (C) 1940, Hal Trotsky (1B) 1940

5. Carl Hubbell, Charlie Wilson (200K), Earl Clark, Buster Chatham (200K)

6 Jeff Russell, Joe Bitker (200K), H. Wagner (200K), Mark Petkovsel (200K)

wild card- Ozzie Smith 1993 version

mars2010: Hopefully it's as fun this time around! Here are six pages for you:

1. Yankees @ Blue Jays, 9/4/2003
2. SS Jose Iglesias 2011-17
3. Twins @ Indians, 4/27/1967
4. 2016 St. Louis Cardinals pitching stats [any four players who appeared in a game as pitcher; check baseball-reference.com just in case a position player pitched an inning]
5. Athletics @ Astros, 8/25/2014
6. * P Red Adams 1946 Cubs [proxy for Adams shall be 2016 Odrisamer Despaigne]

We are at twenty owners. Looking for four more, plus maybe an alternate or two, just in case somebody goes berserk trying to put their team together.

Good luck!

Man, you've already drawn Orber Moreno. [and Fernandomania!] Don't be greedy!

The great Orber only has one WIS-eligible season. Do I have to use that one?
