Each team drafts 1 "Triple Crown" hitter. and 1 "Triple Crown pitcher" The are no hitters in the pool with better than .340 AVG, 35 HRs, 110 RBIs or $8.03 in salary except the Triple Crown Champions. There are no pitchers with better than 20 wins, 2.5 ERA or 230 Ks except the Triple Crown Champions. No RP above $4mil. There are only 2 non-Champion SP above $8.4, so no limit there. Very humble pool that should play a little throwback ATG. You can use any version of a Triple Crown player --- they deserve that honor, plus both Ted Williams Triple Crown years don't have a card!!! There are only 11 non-Champions with a SLG above .600. Come try a unique strategic league! **You can use a 2nd Triple Crown player if its under the BA/HR/RBI/Price thresholds AND not drafted as a Champion by another team. pre-1901 hitters and pitchers have been excluded.

4-round serpentine live draft on boards. Must include 1 Triple Crown hitter and 1 Triple Crown pitcher along with 2 other players in any order. Remember, Triple Crown winner can be any season of their career. Then auto-draft the rest of rosters. List of available players is in custom player set browser:

How about we choose our Triple Crown Hitter/Pither in the signup, that way there can be a league to actually join and gain traction. I don't want to "claim" a Triple Crown Player somebody else wants and can abstain until we're about half-way full?

Having trouble cutting and pasting on my device today, but I'd like Hornsby and Mathewson. This looks very interesting.

The league is open: https://365.strat-o-matic.com/league/470771 It is a unique player set so it should draft well. I went up to $8.03 mil for hitters so Jackie Robinson is eligible. No other hitters above .340/35/110, should be fun! Thanks mrharryc! Check it out!
