If I pick the Red Sox pre-ww2, then I get Babe Ruth— right? The Boston card has more IP than the Yankee card....

Well, Michael, that’s pretty creative. Are you’re being funny? Regardless, you’ve managed to unearth a technical point I haven’t covered. But to truly create the quandary requires the selection of not the “pre WW2 Red Sox” - but the 1916 Red Sox. League rules require you to select a specific franchise season and carry on your roster at least 13 players who played on that team, that season. In the set Babe Ruth is the only 1916 Red Sox card. I highly doubt that you will find cards for another 12 1916 Red Sox players, In which case it will be impossible to create a compliant roster. So the 1916 Red Sox are likely not a viable option, let alone a good one. Even so, I think we can all agree that Ruth’s greatest accomplishments were as a hitter. So I think the fact that he had more plate appearances in 1927 than 1916 trumps anyway.

I couldn’t resist.....

actually, would love to take the pre Red Sox, but 4 of their best players are priority for other teams — oh well— will look elsewhere

I am traveling all day and will pick sometime tonight or tomorrow. JUST KIDDING! I enjoy shirking all duties and checking on this thread every couple hours. No problem

the 1916 Red Sox have 15 players who are carded in ATG. As I originally said, almost all good teams have at least 13 players carded
