The Sultans of Swing: 1920-1934 - DRAFTING

I'd prefer to add all the NEL parks, which were probably in existence and use during this time period.

I'd prefer to add all the NEL parks, which were probably in existence and use during this time period.

This was my thinking in suggesting them.

The gist here is that if we add one park it makes the parks much more significant a part of the draft, as there are limited options for various team configurations. If we add a number of parks (i.e. all NeL parks, for example) there is less emphasis on parks in the draft. I can go either way on the issue, but we need to make the move relatively early in the draft so all know the ground rules.

You can see the '20-'34 parks on the parks tab of the player set site at strat:

I will make the decision in the morning, after seeing any other opinions expressed here. If we do select one park I will take a NeL park selected randomly.

I vote for just one park as well.

I would vote for adding one park for a total of 12 available.

1. Doug Tucker Hornsby 1929
2. Musial6 - Babe Ruth 1920
3. gfdwarf07 - The "Iron Horse" Lou Gehrig 1927
4. kenhutchings - Al Simmons 1929
5. krazykat - Jimmie Foxx 1932
6. risden - Tris Speaker 1920
7. ehlekev
8. allstarinc.
9. LMBombers
10. Rick Smith
11. Gordie Howe

I would prefer one stadium to be added for a total of 12, but can live with any option.

I prefer just adding one park...

One park it will be. Will pick a random Nel park from a hat. Ok I did and the park is Hilldale (NeL). Works too as a righty power park. They are thin in this era.

All,
Here is a list of the 12 eligible stadiums for the league. Hard to belive that SOM did not include 1927 Yankee Stadium as an option...
