This is an antipasto - a foretaste of what the No Awards Progressive League could be like (for which see the Prog Leagues Classifieds).
This is just a one-season theme league. All players will be 1941-1991 and can be found by setting the "Awards" setting to "No Awards".
This will exclude all Hall of Famers for their whole careers, and for the specific years when they won these awards, any All-Stars, ROYs, Cy Young winners, Gold Gloves, MVPs and Relievers of the Year. Though for all those latter categories, the same player will turn up eligible in the seasons in which they won no award and were not on the All-Star teams, so long as they are not in Cooperstown.
$80 million Salary cap. No DH, No WW, No Trades, No Clones, no AAA. All Stadiums. Injuries on.
Standard 4/4/4 league format.
Baseball without its stars. Who will come forth as the key players in a pennant race? Which player will make the difference between winning and losing?
Join and find out. And, if you like it, later on think about joining the nascent Progressive League of the same name, which will start in 1901 and proceed to the present, re-writing baseball history as we go along.
