Season 12 is in the books, it turned out to be an all Detroit World Series! Congrats to eastvanmungo on winning the title with his 1941 Tigers squad over hebdomad and the 2015 Tigers. eastvanmungo is the first to win back-to-back titles in this league. Congrats to both on great seasons, and both of those teams are now blacklisted.
Choose any single team in MLB history according to baseball-reference.com. Specific team/season selections will be unique, so post your selection here. I will select once we get 12 in (unless I am using my team from the previous season, see rule below).
Choose exactly 8 players from that team and build a roster by twisting those 8 to any seasons of their career. You must use at least 2 versions of each of your 8 guys (so that will account for 16 spots on your roster). The other 9 spots will be additional clones of those 8 guys. No limit on number of clones of a specific player (so technically you could have up to 11 versions of a single player). You may use player versions from the specific season you chose, but are not required to do so. . . . e.g. you select the 1975 Padres, your entire roster must be 8 players who were on the 75 Padres, but you don't have to use the specific 1975 version of any of those players. You can if you want, but you don't have to.
We will be blacklisting the 2 World Series teams each season as we go forward.
Owners of teams not making the World Series will have first dibs on using that same team the following season.
