Since the ATG set began with a focus on all-time great TEAMS, why not a franchise league focused around some of those historic squads? Browsing through the set, there are quite a few specific teams/seasons for which most the roster is carded.
League Parameters:
Full ATG set, Autodraft, $90MM CAP, no DH. 5% CUTS.
Process:
Pick a franchise AND SEASON. Franchises will be exclusive within each the pre & post WWII eras, marked at ‘46/‘47. Once a franchise/season is selected, that franchise is off the board in that era only...meaning that this league can have both pre and post WWII teams from the same franchise. So possibly, two Yankees teams, two Red Sox teams, etc.
Team selection order will be determined by randomizer once we fill here.
Rules:
You must use a franchise park, it can be any park in the set in which your franchise played, no matching era requirement.
From opening night on, you must roster a minimum of 13 players who played for your franchise during the season you select. It doesn't have to be that year's card, it doesn't even have to be your franchise's card, it can be any cards in the set representing those players.
Beyond this requirement, you can use any player who played for your franchise at any point during your era. And just like the rule above, you can use any card in the set representing that player. For example, a player who played for the Yankees both before and after ‘46/‘47 could potentially be on either a pre or post Yankee team, and in either instance any card in the set representing that player is fair game.
From opening night on, you must carry a minimum of 25 players on your roster. Why? Because scrubs are people too.
You will generally have 100% exclusive rights to all players who played for your franchise your year. Only situation where you might not...if your player also played for another selected franchise/season. In this case rights go to the team/season for which he is carded, and if carded for both, he goes to the team/season for which his card has either the highest plate appearances (AB+BB) or highest IP.
Trades are permitted as long as all teams involved have exclusive rights to the players they're dealing away. For instance, if you want to blow up your historic Yankees squad to see Mike Trout in pinstripes batting ahead of Lou Gehrig, and your counterpart wants Babe Ruth, you both go right ahead.
Season 1 filled fast and the results were somewhat unexpected. Here are the league’s teams, in order of selection, and regular season record.
1. ‘27 Yanks (73-89)
2. ‘61 Yanks (79-83)
3. ‘54 Indians (78-84)
4. ‘53 Dodgers (90-72, wildcard)
5. ‘29 Cubs (72-90)
6. ‘79 Pirates (84-78, won Central)
7. ‘86 Mets (80-82, won East)
8. ‘90 A’s (108-54, won West)
9. ‘64 Cards (79-83)
10. ‘29 A’ (80-82)
11.‘34 Cards (73-89)
12. ‘79 Red Sox (76-85)
Eight managers are returning from season 1. These 8 have agreed not to choose the same exact team/year as they did in season one. The 4 new managers will have no restrictions on their franchise/season selection.
