[b:b38c8bb678]Random ballpark assignments:[/b:b38c8bb678]
The theme will begin with all 170 ballparks as a pool, and the first 12 parks will be randomly assigned in the first league. However, once a ballpark with [u:b38c8bb678]multiple versions[/u:b38c8bb678] with the same name is assigned, [b:b38c8bb678]all other versions of that ballpark are removed from the pool of remaining parks[/b:b38c8bb678]. So, if a manager is assigned Yankee '56, he must use Yankee '56 and all remaining years for Yankee stadium are removed from the pool. For the purposes of this process negro league parks with identical names like Yankee and Washington are considered part of those park groupings. The same ballpark with a different name, like Oakland Coliseum and McAfee Coliseum, Jacobs Field and Cleveland, are not considered the same park for this theme.
If we manage the ballpark assignments like this we will have 87 parks to be assigned, which will result in 8 leagues - 7 leagues with completely random park assignments and the final league (if desired) comprised of the remaining 3 parks randomly assigned.
