1926-1946 Franchise League with Negro Leaguers
To follow up our 1888-1925 Franchise League with NeLs, here is the 1926-1946 version. You will have the opportunity to play with a smaller set of players, use players you may not normally use, and add selected NeL players who didn’t get to participate during this era.
14 seasons, 100m, DH (I know there was no DH then, but gives better opportunity to use more players)
THIS IS A 14 SEASON COMMITMENT. Managers rotate through the 14 teams; 2 teams per season will rotate out
Draft players carded to yoru franchise from 1926-1946. In addition, the AutoDraft follows ASSIGNED and OFFLIMITS players listed below. You ARE NOT REQUIRED to draft your ASSIGNED players, they are simply yours exclusively UNTIL the Auto-draft runs. You MAY PLACE players from rotated out teams on your Autodraft Card, just realize that others may be after them as well, so place them higher on your draft card. For example, for the 2 seasons when the A’s/Phillies are rotated out, Al Simmons could be grabbed as a Free Agent by the White Sox, Tigers, Browns/Sens, Reds, and Red Sox/Braves. Whew!
After the Auto-draft, any Free Agents who played for your franchise FROM 1926-1946 are eligible to be added to your team; Negro League Free Agents are not eligible. You may ONLY use the NeLs assigned to you. You may ONLY use cards from 1926-1946.
Negro Leaguers may be traded, along with players carded to more than one team. These are the ONLY TRADES ALLOWED.
To keep things simple, 1926-1946 are the ONLY years that EXIST for this league. You may ONLY use cards from 1926-1946. You may only use Free agents who played for your team FROM 1926-1946.
Each franchise has 3 stadium options, listed below with the franchises.
We will randomize for Team Rotation Order and Manager Rotation Order. We will use Lottery States to determine divisions, so please list one at sign-up.b
SPECIAL NOTES: The Yankees are divided into TWO teams: the 1926-1934 Yankees (MURDERER’S ROW) and the 1935-1946 Yankees (BRONX BOMBERS). AFTER the Auto-draft, ANY Yankees from 1926-1946 are fair game for either Yankees team. And, there may be one or two lucky managers who find one Yankee team rotated out in a particular season.
Some teams were combined to keep groupings competitive: the Boston teams, the Philly teams, and the Browns/Senators.
A handful of players are ASSIGNED to teams they do not have an eligible card for, but played for during their careers: Rip Collins, Pete Alexander, and Chick Hafey. Though he never played for them, Chuck Klein is assigned to the White Sox for competitive balance...and he did at least play for the Chicago CUBS......
