Since Cleveland Youngs original team was considered part of the NL...his 1st team for the purposes of this league would in fact be St lou (NL)

Well, just found out Cy Young might have to play 2nd or 3rd fiddle to Mordecai Peter Centennial (Three-Finger) Brown.


This will all be very interesting after it plays out. Hope it gets off the ground and flies!!



The difficult part will be finding and tracking .50 players to fill the roster.
