Player Set - Post WW2 and EXP

[b:0d199f7ed9]Note:[/b:0d199f7ed9] This league features primarily EXP era players, however for competitive balance and depth I made a few exceptions and allowed a few selected Post WW2 era players in the league (all exceptions are identified below)

[b:0d199f7ed9]Rules[/b:0d199f7ed9]
1) Sign up for a team below, division assignments are pre-determined - see below

2.) Roster Rules
At all times your roster must be exclusively comprised ONLY of players from your assigned team + any identified supplemental players(detailed below). You only have rights to players on your EXP roster and any assigned supplemental players.

If you have a player that has a card with multiple teams, you have auto draft rights to that player only if you have the card with the highest dollar value. For example, Greg Maddux has cards with the Braves and the Cubs, but his high dollar card is with the Braves so only the Braves can auto draft Maddux. If the Braves do not auto draft Maddux, then the Cubs can select him from the free agent pool after the auto draft. This rule also applies to supplemental players as well (ex: if Seattle does not take ARod, he can go the the Yankees). Below, I have identified the supplemental players and the players a team may not AD - auto draft.

You can use any version of a player if you have rights to them. Whether Maddux ends up with the Braves or Cubs, those teams can use ANY card version of him.

You will note the exp era Rangers and Blue Jays do not have teams below. Most top players from these teams are identified as supplemental players. I tried to keep the talent pool deep and wide, however all 24 teams have some weaknesses.

3.) Home Ball Park Selection
Pick a home ball park associated with your team

4.) Negro League Players and all post war era players(that are not exceptions identified below) are excluded from this franchise theme. They are not eligible for any rosters at any time.

On the Giants, I noticed Jack Clark is listed twice; hope the second one wasn't supposed to be Will Clark.
