PLEASE PICK A YEAR NOT ALREADY TAKEN.

The Grim Reaper League is now The End of the World League. I WILL SITEMAIL YOU THE LEAGUE NUMBER AS SOON AS I SEE THAT YOU HAVE POSTED THE YEAR OF PREFERENCE YOU WILL FORM YOUR TEAM FROM.

Let's just embrace the darkness. Tom Seaver. Lou Brock. Even poor old Horace Clark. All gone this year. A good start to a team in the hereafter.

This page shows the list of players lost in 2020:

https://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/baseball_deaths.php?y=2020

Just edit the last four digits at the end of the URL after the ? sign to change years.

Pick a year of death. Your whole team will come from that year of demise. Any season in that players' career.,



IF YOU LACK ENOUGH PITCHERS OR PLAYERS OR PA OR IP AT ANY POSITION, YOU MAY CLAIM AN UNCLAIMED ADJACENT YEAR THAT IS NOT TAKEN, OR THE FIRST YEAR ADJACENT TO THOSE, AND MAY FILL YOUR ROSTER OR LINEUP OR STAFF WITH PLAYERS FROM THAT YEAR, SO LONG AS YOU DO NOT PASS OVER GOOD PLAYERS FROM YOUR MAIN YEAR TO GAME THE SYSTEM AND OBTAIN A BETTER PLAYER FROM THAT OTHER YEAR.

No clones, no DH, no WW, no trades. Any park but it must have been in use the season you pick. $100 mil salary cap.

24 team, standard 4/4/4 with wildcard. No injuries. All our players are already dead after all, they have been through enough.

Years of death will be exclusive so you must post your chosen year here, and no other owner can utilize that year of death.

ALL players must have died that year as indicated on the page for that year from the website linked to above.

I will pick a year after 12 owners have signed up.

Gallows humor encouraged:
