RE: New League Forming

Message:

If I can gave the Twins I'll do it.

I’ll take Angels…

I'll take red sox

I will take the brewers as they were once associated with the Vancouver canadians

Just for clarification, does "No Awards" also mean no Hall of Famers (other than those who won ROYs, that is)?

I think anyone that comes up if the drop downs say FIRST and No Awards are selected are fair game. I had a similar question.

No -

select all your ROOKIE of YEAR Winners between 1950 -2020
then select all First Year Players to fill out the roster --- draft page use drop downs say FIRST and No Awards are selected are fair game

I will like Pittsburgh

I'll take the Twins if possible.
