Birthday league

PostWed May 20, 2020 4:12 pm

Is anyone interested in a birthday month league?

It's very simple, 12 months = 12 teams, everybody gets exclusive rights to anyone born in their randomly assigned month.

This cannot be an unlimited or high cap league because I discovered the best cards > $10 million salary are not evenly distributed across all months. I'm thinking $120 million is about right for a DH league. ATG9 all eras.

If interested, sign up below, then we'll randomize the list to assign a month to each manager.

Where are you doing the search to find all players born in a certain month?

I also think $ 120 cap might be too much. You may want to consider $110 or $100 if the distribution really isn't even.

baseball reference web site has a list of everyone born on each day, for example here is May 21:

https://www.baseball-reference.com/friv ... h=5&day=21

If I were assigned the month of May for example, I'd look at each date, 1 through 31, and make a note of player possibilities of interest to me.

Can you be convinced to use a $ 110 M cap?

I can wait until we have 12 sign up, then put it to a vote.

I don't play ATG but I was in a similar league years ago using the 20XX set. Instead of birth month we used astrological signs. Looking through ones availables was like an Easter egg hunt. Great fun. Finding that Golden egg is well worth the time spent looking.
