Rick,do you have a plan B? Rules say birth year must be 1900 or later.

And you did a lot of work too, sorry buddy.

I’ll take 1947

Glenn, can you confirm if trades are now open? I think being able to trade while we are still drafting death years, relievers and stadiums will considerably impact the ease of completing a roster under the salary cap.

yes, Jay, trade away.

I will select 1903:

Position Players

8 HOFers & 98 others - When I get the list 'perfected', I'll post it.

Gehrig, Gehringer, P. Waner, Cochrane, Lazzeri, T. jackson, B. Herman, C Hafey

Pitchers

Hubbell & Jim Turner plus 45 others

Good Luck All

Going with 1964. My spreadsheet is at home and I will post later today. What I can remember:
Barry Bonds
Barry Larkin

Roberto Hernandez $5M+ RP
Rob Dibble $5M+ RP

and Jeff Sellers may be starting for me because I only have 3 SP* guys.

Also weird how someone like Kevin Tapani player 13 years in the majors and was ok, not great, but has 0 cards and guys like Doug Jennings who played just a few years will have a card. I guess those guys were on a team that got selected as an all time great team so they get a card.

Yeah 1968 had a bunch of SP with 12-15 years of experience who weren't carded (Scott Erickson, Pedro Astacio, Darryl Kile, Pat Hentgen, Denny Neagle, Shane Reynolds)...'68 had some of my favourite players who made me some money in early-mid 90's rotisserie leagues but I would have had to use 50m of my budget picking the 4 I really wanted .

1. Doyerwear - 1935
2. cwitkowski - 1944
3. ggyuppie - 1963
4. tallguy747 - 1949
5. DrLanglo - 1920
6. BMilner - 1954
7. Pollyglace - 1957
8. MrBaseballworld - 1947
9. Jabuending - 1903
10. Davesodu -1964
11. Jmtosi - 1988
12. drtripleb
