Bump for the 20's!

Congrats to ironwill1 and the Chicago Black Sox on winning the 1910s title. It's too bad we don't have playoffs in this league -- it would have been interesting to see if these Sox would take a dive, too!

BTW, congrats to ALL of the other managers. You have each had at least one winning season in our first two in this league. I'm the only one to not quite achieve that yet.

I have fun setting up these leagues, but obviously don't quite "get" the ATG concept.
- I've had 16 ATG teams in the last year and won 0.5 titles (splitting one in a 6-team league)
- In comparison, I'm happy enough with 3 titles in my last 16 teams using the 20xx card sets

Oh well, old dogs, new tricks, etc.

The deadball era is over. Get ready for the Roaring Twenties!

In the 1910s, there were:
23 pitchers at $7 mil or more, incl 5 at $10 mil or more
10 batters at $7 mil or more, incl 3 at $10 mil or more

This changes radically in the 1920s. Including a fine array of Negro League stars, there are:
7 pitchers at $7 mil or more, incl 0 at $10 mil or more
41 batters at $7 mil or more, incl 12 at $10 mil or more

Post your keepers and let's start drafting!

From the rules:

DRAFT SEQUENCE: Managers who are "keeping" an Aaron or a Cobb, or a Clemens or a Mathewson, from decade to decade have a distinct advantage over those who are choosing 25 new players. The draft sequence will be determined by:
a) Teams with fewest keepers draft first, starting with those with zero, then those with one, etc.
b) In case of ties in the number of keepers, then the most recent completed season's W/L record will be the determining factor (as usual), going from worst to best.

DRAFT RULES: Each season will have a $200 mil (effectively unlimited) salary cap and the drafts would start with no draft clock in the first round and a two-hour clock in every round after that.

INITIAL 1920S DRAFT ORDER (as if all teams had the same number of drops):
1. JMP1
2. tcochran
3. willmurr24
4. jflatour99
5. alk58
6. ironwill1
