I tried to start out with 8 guys in each league that were well known, then pair them up with lesser know guys. I really was not worrying about their teams. I then took what I thought was the worst pair Walt Bond and John Wyatt, and tried to build a 100 mil team. 60 Indians and 62 Royals. When I was able to I thought we had a theme. Note there are more Dodgers, Indians, Braves and White Sox because those teams accepted black players quicker than places like Philly. As late as 64 Phils still had racial problems. They affected my first Phils hero. One of several reasons for this league.
