Start by choosing any real-life (RL) team from 1920 to present and then build your roster using players from that team's roster. Any player on your RL team's roster may be used, including players who had fewer than 50 ABs or 25 IPs. All of those players may also be twisted to any season of their careers, but not to seasons prior to 1920. You may also use up to 2 wild card players, who can come from any season of your RL team's franchise from 1920 to the present. Additional players with salaries under $300K can come from any season of your RL team's franchise from 1920-on.
So, to be clear, only players who were on your chosen RL team’s roster can be twisted to seasons when they played with a different franchise. Your 2 wild card players and any under $300K who weren’t on your RL team’s roster must come from seasons when they played on the same franchise as your original RL team.

No DH, AAA, WW, clones, trades or injuries. You must use the home park that your RL team used in your chosen season. Alignment will be random unless any owner enters more than one team. RL teams aren't necessarily exclusive to one owner, so more than one owner may end up using the same RL team. There is no blacklist, but returning owners are prohibited from using the exact same team and year combo that they used in the most recent season of the league.
