I have sent out an e-mail with the draft instructions.

post the draft picks here? or e-mail them?

If you are ready to go, let's use the league e-mail setup for the draft. And if you have a team name ready, go ahead and include that, too.

Gee, I wonder who the first pick might be? Some awfully nice choices out there!

Ballaparks may be taken at any time during the 36 round draft (35 players and a ballaprk). Here are the ballpark choices for future reference:

AL

Fenway Park 12-12-14-19
Comiskey Park 10-10-2-2-
League Park 10-10-9-3
Briggs Stadium 12-12-18-18
Yankee Stadium 1-1-15-10
Shibe Park 6-6-3-15
Sportsman's Park 7-7-20-6
Griffith Stadium 7-7-0-0

NL

Braves Field 7-7-2-0
Ebbets Field 14-14-15-8
Wrigley Field 9-9-0-2
Crosley Field 11-11-2-2
Polo Grounds 0-0-20-20
Shibe Park 6-6-3-15
Forbes Field 10-10-2-2-
Sportsman's Park 8-8-20-6

St. Louis and Philadelphia shared ballparks. Shibe's numbers are the same, Sportsman's are one higher for singles in the NL than in the AL.

Lady and gentlemen:

Here's our league for reference with screen names and real names.

Daytona Racers - Beach (BCH) Mark

I assumed this was a no-DH league. (What's the point of netplaying with a DH???) Am I correct?

no dh

How do you access the league email? I receive the messages and there is a link to our group email on the recieved messages, but don't know where to go or how to initiate a group email. Is there a link on the Yahoo page? Look forward to some help..thanks :D
