Are any of you interested in an auto league that requires each team to have have one pitcher and one hitter (no more and no less) from [b:0a2bb0b136]either[/b:0a2bb0b136] the 1969 World Series participants (Mets and Orioles)? Only one (but at least one) pitcher on your roster must come from [b:0a2bb0b136]either[/b:0a2bb0b136] the Mets or Orioles. The same is true with your hitters. The only two stadiums eligible for the league would be Memorial or Shea.

Rosters would have to be in compliance by opening night of the season.

If interested, post here. If enough show interest, I will go ahead and set up the league.

League will be [b:0a2bb0b136]$80M NO DH[/b:0a2bb0b136].

Would there be a special draft to pick up Mets and Orioles, or would that just be done in autodraft and waivers?

It would just been done via the auto draft and subsequent waiver/fa activity.
