Private Jet Mama's Boys Memorial League

PostTue Aug 23, 2016 3:01 pm

Most of you know that Kevin (Private Jet Mama's Boys) passed away last month after a short battle with cancer. Kevin gave me his sign in info to look after his teams. There was one team remaining that Kevin created, though he never named the team or picked players or even a cap, team name was "xxxxx xxxx's". I guess he was planning to draft and name it later.

As this team is just sitting there, I decided to create a Memorial League, but actually place this team for Kevin in the league. I went back and looked at previous teams and found a 125m Team of Kev's that won 100 games and the title (Kevin won 130 titles here).
I have re-created this team of Kev's and placed it in Private Jet Mama's Boys Memorial League.
The cap will be 125m, 12 team league with DH, and the other 11 managers will agree not to draft the players from Kev's original 100-win team (Kev's players listed below).

If you are interested in playing in this Memorial League, send me a PM and I will send the password as long as there is room in the league.

Just returned from a year long hiatus to find this. Sad news. I was always pretty tight with Kevin when we played, we ended up in many leagues together and had lots of Strat-o-discussions. Liked his style.

RIP Kevin...

I'll do a link tomorrow. Named the team Private Jet Mama's Boys. I thought it was appropriate, and hopefully the Mama's Boys take the title!

Great idea and very nice gesture, Andy. I'm a little disappointed that the league filled so quickly but that really should not be a surprise since there are so many here that interacted with Kev. Actually that in itself is a nice tribute to him as well.
Good luck to all and have fun.
