With response to the Hornsby issue. That's if BOTH franchises are taken. If a franchise is NOT taken and a player has multiply cards and is carded to YOUR team can you use any card? My example for the Yankees Wally Schang has 2 cards one for the Yankees and the other for the Browns. Both cards are 1920 Decade cards so would BOTH be eligible.
Based on the Rule #3:
3. At least 8 offensive players and 8 pitchers must be from your team and decade. These cards must come from the decade. Looking at Schang he has more games played as a Yankee thus making any of his cards eligible. I'm just looking for a little clarity with this issue.
Commissioner's ruling: The 1920 Yankees can only use the 1924 Schang card. I cannot use Tom Seaver's 68, 70, 71, or 75 Mets card on my 70 Reds team. If there was a 79 Seaver Reds card, then I could use that card, if there was no 70 Mets team.
